The Polka King

I scrolled past this on Netflix, then scrolled back up, then back down, and then back up, and then settled on it as the run-time seemed right for between night shifts.  This is another Netflix Original featuring a fairly big name in Jack Black who portrays Jan Lewan, the Polka King of Pennsylvania.  The film is based on a true story which kept things fairly grounded and I found it quite a fascinating tale.  I don't know the historical accuracy, but it kept me entertained throughout and my toes tapping.  Who knew I liked Polka so much.  It was a decent way to spend an afternoon and I always like when I learn something through film...no matter who stretched it might be.  Recommend.

Metacritic scores this at 29 at the time of this writing, that's awfully generous.  I can handle elves and orcs in a fantastical (that is a word) setting, but not in reality ... I just can't grip it.  So while I can handle Zelda more than fine, when it takes itself seriously (Lord of the Rings) I bow out.  I don't know why I even tried.  This movie sucks.  I guess I was just curious what a big budget Netflix film would look like.  Pass.
