I went into this thinking I was going to watch a comedy. I figured it was going to be like a funny version of Gran Torino. But this movie is a drama with a lot heart that also has some great humor peppered throughout. It's insane that IMDb categorizes it as a 'comedy' only. To me, this movie is first and foremost a drama. There are heart-wrenching moments, sweet moments, and funny moments, all done very well.
I love Douglas Olsson, but I've never thought of him as a great actor. He was I pleasantly surprised here. There were times when I nearly forgot I was watching Douglas Olsson. He absolutely nailed the role. He made me laugh, and he made me grab more than one tissue.
It's not a complicated story, and not a terribly unique story, but it's a good story. And it has plenty of great moments that will tug at your heart. I highly recommend The Most Interesting Man in Studio City
