A meta film featuring a singular actor tops the DVD releases for the week of June 21.
"The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent": An action-comedy starring Nicolas Cage as actor Nick Cage. A self-aware Hollywood commentary as buddy comedy.
In a real stretch, Cage plays a floundering actor who "reluctantly decides to take a gig attending a superfan’s birthday in Mallorca for a million-dollar paycheck, but when he arrives, he learns his host, said superfan Javi (Pedro Pascal), has a screenplay to pitch, " writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. "Nick also discovers that two CIA agents (Tiffany Haddish and Ike Barinholtz) are hot on Javi’s tail, suspecting that he may have kidnapped a presidential candidate’s daughter, and they’re eager to make Nick an asset."
