"Owen Wilson's 'Paint' takes a comedic twist on Bob Ross's legacy."
Owen Wilson stars as a TV painter named Carl Nargle in the comedy film "Paint," which is not a biopic of Bob Ross despite sharing similarities with the beloved painter. The film follows the professional and romantic rivalry between Nargle and a younger, more dynamic TV painter named Ambrosia. While the film's satire is not mean-spirited, it lacks a clear purpose and ultimately dissolves into a cloud of niceness. Wilson's doofy charisma almost makes the movie worth watching, but fans of Bob Ross may be disappointed by the film's use of the cultural icon as little more than a stylistic template.
