Los Angeles Times Daily Crossword Puzzle

It
makes
perfect
sense
for David Wain, one of the
masterminds behind “Wet Hot
American Summer,” to direct a
biographical film behind one
of the great figures of modern
comedy. Douglas Kenney, who
founded National Lampoon

Magazine,
wrote
“Animal
House” and “Caddyshack” and
indirectly assembled much of
the original cast of “Saturday
Night Live,” before they were
taken from under his nose, is
a master of ensemble comedy.
When a number of people work
on one project with different
styles of comedy, the result
will often be something of
widely varying quality, at least
in each person’s eyes. Some
respond more to screwball
and one-liners (like me), some

respond
more
to
physical
comedy (OK, also me). As
was the case with National
Lampoon, so it was with “Wet
Hot American Summer.”
Then why, why, why does “A
Futile and Stupid Gesture,” a
biopic of Kenney’s tragically
short life directed by Wain
feel so empty? Why does a
most
unconventional
man,
played satisfyingly but not
compellingly by Will Forte
(“Last
Man
on
Earth”),
receive a harshly conventional
treatment? These are questions
Wain must answer, both to
us and to his comedy idols.
Perhaps the starting point is
the too often-made conflation
between bombast and being
interesting.
In
a
decision
truly
befitting
the
film’s
title, Kenney’s story is told
by “modern” Doug (Martin
Mull, “Veep”), who committed
suicide in 1980. In an attempt
to further humanize the man
for whom a filmic depiction
should be sufficient, Kenney’s
resurrection feels not only
strange,
but
somewhat
malevolent,
a
cinematic
dancing-on-the-grave of sorts.
Kenney,
especially
his
romantic
and
professional

relationships, is so naturally
compelling. Having his story
told lifelessly and whittled
down to nothing for the sake
of event-retelling feels like
a giant missed opportunity.

It’s not that the film is
dramatically bad — in fact, it’s
often rather funny (but not
enough) — it’s just so utterly
mediocre that it ends up just
meaning nothing more than an
excuse for Wain to pay homage

Sundance: ‘Hearts Beat
Loud’ & ‘Futile and Stupid’

SUNDANCE REVIEW

NETFLIX

to his role model. That’s good
enough for him, but not for us.
***
The
title
of
“Hearts
Beat Loud,” the latest film
from
director
Brett
Haley
(“The
Hero”)
comes
from
a song written by one of its
protagonists
Sam
(Kiersey
Clemons,
“Flatliners”),
one
day after she takes a pre-med
summer school class before

going off to UCLA. Her teacher
explains that the heart beats
loudly during cardiovascular
stress, but also, he says with
something of a wink when
someone falls in love. Later
that same day, Sam meets
Rose (Sasha Lane, “American
Honey”) and, sure enough,
she takes a liking to her. Her
heart, beating loudly, becomes
the subject of a song that she,
after refusing several times,
records with her father Frank
(Nick
Offerman,
“Comrade
Detective”), who is a retired
musician who now owns a
fading record shop in Red
Hook, Brooklyn, a seemingly
magical neighborhood where
everyone knows each other.
In a sort of twist, after
Frank secretly uploads the

song to Spotify and it appears
on the New Indie Mix playlist,
“Hearts Beat Loud” becomes
something of a minor hit.
While it doesn’t lead to any
tangible
financial
benefits,
and We’re Not a Band — the
adamant response by Sam
that Frank turned into their
name — doesn’t become a
major
phenomenon,
father
and daughter become closer.
“Hearts Beat Loud” doesn’t
offer anything by way of twists
and turns, but it’s a delightful
movie at which, when it hits
theaters, one can imagine in
late July, audiences will have
a splendid time. What’s not
to love? Offerman is reliably
goofy, Clemons and Lane are
charming
and
convincingly
enamored with one another.
Ted
Danson
(“The
Good
Place”), who plays Frank’s
local bartender and friend,
delivers some great jokes. The
songs by We’re Not a Band,
which sound something in
between “Ultralife” by Oh
Wonder and “Slip Away” by
Perfume Genius, erring on the
pop side, are pretty great!
There are some knots in the
plot, which contains a tad too
many threads for such a breezy
movie. A strange will-they-
won’t-they dynamic between
Frank and his landlord Leslie
(Toni Collette, “xXx: Return
of Xander Cage”) feels forced
and never leads to any sort of
emotional peaks or valleys.

Tacked on is a thread of Frank’s
mother
Marianne
(Blythe
Danner, who worked with
Haley in “I’ll See You in My
Dreams”), who is repeatedly
arrested for shoplifting, even
in her golden years.

Artificial though it is, this
is also a film with some killer
indie cred. Mitski is name-
checked (a major thrill for yours
truly, who could identify when
Sasha
Lane
recommended
“Your Best American Girl”
without mentioning the artist)
and Frank explains the merits
of Animal Collective’s “My
Girls.” Once Frank realizes
that he needs to let go of his
too-strong attachments to his
college-bound daughter and
his 17-year-old record store
and develop a sense of parental
responsibility, there is some
tender emotional digging that
might bring a faint tear to the
eye.

COMMUNITY CULTURE PREVIEW

Singer-songwriter Rachael
Yamagata
is
returning
to
Ann
Arbor
for
a
soulful
performance on her United
States
tour.
Yamagata
has

collaborated with many well-
known artists in the past
(including
Bryan
Adams
and Jason Mraz), and is now
bringing her own poetic style
to The Ark this Thursday.
Yamagata started off her
career and love of music non-
traditionally.
She
did
not
enjoy piano lessons growing
up,
and
she
struggled
to
find herself during college,
bouncing
between
majors
and universities. She finally
found her calling by playing
around on the piano and
seeing the funk group Bumpus
play in Chicago while she was
in college. This inspiration
was all that she needed as
validation to start her career.
Yamagata became infatuated
with the idea of talented
people her age playing music
for the fun of it and realized
that a music career is what she
wanted to pursue.
“I’m really excited about
(taking)
down
the
fourth

wall — having a living room
style, special experience,” said
Yamagata, in an interview
with The Daily. The intimate
concert is bound to be a
personal
experience
for
everyone who comes.
“(I hope my concert) can
inspire
people,”
she
said.
“Almost like when you go see a
movie by yourself, (and) you’re
like, ‘Wow, I really felt that
wholeheartedly.’”
Yamagata
hopes to reach every member
of the audience, affecting them
in personal and unique ways.
Her music aims to affect every
audience member differently.
The audience brings their
distinct experiences to the
concert,
while
Yamagata
brings her poetic lyrics and
indie groove to dissect these
experiences
and
destroy
inhibitions, creating a raw
experience that is meant to
heal.
Vulnerability plays a large
role in the songs of the set:
“My songs are (like a) deep
dive into what makes us really
uncomfortable and angular,
and makes us feel like our
heads and hearts are going to
explode, and then I put you
back together,” she said.
Yamagata
is
fearless
in
the face of topics that are
otherwise difficult to discuss.
She strives to create a space
where she encourages people
to look at themselves in a
different light — a concert
dedicated to the introspective.
She hopes to break the
emotional fronts that humans
put up and use the power of
her music to heal the audience.
She creates a safe space for
people to open up by leading

by example and pouring her
heart out to the audience in
the way she knows best: song.
In addition, Yamagata has a
special place in her heart for
the city of Ann Arbor.

“I love that it’s a college
town,” she said. Being in Ann
Arbor is reminiscent of her
own college years, and she
is excited to give students
what she felt with Bumpus in
Chicago: a real, raw, emotional
experience with music and
people.
“Anyone in school, and you
don’t know what you’re doing
— it’s OK. You will figure it
out!” Her concert is bound to
be one of emotional depth and
healing for anyone trying to
find their own voice and place.
She also encourages audiences
to come to the show as early as
possible to hear her opening
act, Hemming, an acoustic
singer-songwriter,
whose
compelling
performance
is
also bound to inspire and heal.
