Melvin and Howard is an interesting blend of comedy and drama that really grabs you with its offbeat charm. Jonathan Demme captures this quirky slice of life through the lens of Melvin Dummar, who's just trying to get by and finds himself at the center of this wild claim about Howard Hughes. The pacing is unique – it feels languid at times, but it perfectly mirrors Melvin's slow-burn journey through life’s absurdities. The performances, especially by Paul Le Mat, just feel natural, almost like you're eavesdropping on real life. The practical effects and style are grounded, adding to that sense of realism while the themes of luck and fate play out in this gentle, yet ultimately poignant narrative. It’s definitely a film that resonates on a different level.
