![]() She is planning to leave the station for a more cushy job at the PBS affiliate in Albany, New York. Not only is Ambrosia a better painter, she also starts a romantic relationship with Carl’s producer and former flame, Katherine (Michaela Watkins). Soon her ratings outshine Carl’s, and he can’t handle it. Initially, older viewers are terrified by Ambrosia’s paintings of UFO’s with blood pouring out of them. His current girlfriend, Jenna (Lucy Freyer), jumps into the back of his make-out van almost immediately after they start working together.Ĭarl’s ratings aren’t what they used to be, so station boss Tony (Stephen Root) hires a much younger woman named Ambrosia (Ciara Renée) to draw a more hip crowd. ![]() These women swoon and make eyes at him, and they’re proud of the Mount Mansfield painting he gifted to each of them while their relationship lasted. So what exactly is the point of “Paint”? I believe it wants to say something about toxic masculinity and how some men can’t stand to be upstaged by a woman.Ĭarl is a womanizer whose prior girlfriends continue to work with him on his show long after he dumps them. When Carl started painting with his perm, I questioned my sanity. The movie also has several dubious afro jokes, including scenes where white women touch his hair with fascination, and another where a giant swatch of it gets stuck in the visor of his van. ![]() ![]() It gets fluffier in the same scene, as if Wilson were being tasered between takes. The filmmakers don’t even bother to fix the continuity errors that plague Carl’s hairdo. “Paint” is so haphazardly thrown together it’s painful to watch. Lucy Freyer, Owen Wilson, Stephen Root, and Michaela Watkins in Brit McAdams’s "Paint," an IFC Films release. His reason for this repetition is so infuriatingly stupid that I questioned if McAdams were trolling viewers. But unlike Ross, who added his trees to whatever he painted, Nargle’s entire painting is always just of Mount Mansfield. And instead of trees, Carl’s constant canvas character is Vermont’s Mount Mansfield. Those looking for a purposeful parody of the painter will be sorely disappointed Wilson’s visual approximation and somnambulistic line delivery is all we get. “Paint” seeks to capitalize on the fact he’s been discovered by a new generation of fans. I even cop to smiling every time he added those contented trees. Like the folks who watch Nargle’s show (an eclectic mix that includes seniors in a living facility and tough-looking dudes in a bar), I watched Ross religiously when he was on. Ross was famous for his PBS painting show, “ The Joy of Painting,” where he always painted “happy little trees” and created a mellow vibe for viewers from 1983 to 1994. You see, with his puffy afro perm, soft voice, and penchant for painting the same scene on every canvas, Carl Nargle is a thinly-disguised take on Bob Ross.
