Amazing performance
"Who the hell is Bobby Roos" is the story of a celebrity impersonator. If you're not sure what that is - imagine a guy who can convincingly pretend he's Robert DeNiro, Robin Williams, Peter Falk, Roberto Benigni and dozens of other famous people & characters from movies. Ultimately, it's a story about identity.
The story begins with a show gone wrong, continues through the struggles to get another chance, a love affair, and other events.
This is not an expensive production. Occasionally, the boom mike becomes clearly visible, and the entire film is shot on digital camera. Despite the lack of money, the film manages to be stunning, mostly thanks to the incredible performance by its star. You might have seen a hilarious trailer online, showing Osama bin Laden auditioning various actors to play him in his autobiographical film. The amazing thing is that this one man can so convincingly impersonate every single one of them.
Once you get past the gimmick, the movie still manages to be interesting. It is not a farcical comedy, and its unscripted nature (apparently, while the plot was laid out before production, all individual scenes are improvised by the actors) means it is more dramatic than comedic. Don't let the trailer mislead you into thinking you're buying a comedy, but don't let that put you off either.
As a drama, the film has a coherent plot, some very touching moments, and incredible performances by its actors. Most of all, it has believable characters, perhaps at the cost of typical dramatic dialogue.
Ultimately, the film proves that it is perfectly possible to tell a good story without a budget - provided you have world-class creative minds working on the project.
