Fans Call ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ The Most Nicholas Cage Movie Ever
The movie features Pedro Pascal, Niel Patrick Harris And Tiffany Haddish in supporting roles
The man, the myth, the legend, Nicholas Cage has a new movie out in the theatres, where he plays a fictionalised version of… himself. Called the The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, the Tom Gormican- directed movie has been the topic of discussion on the internet for being the most Nicholas Cage movie of all time.
Don’t believe us? Here’s what the official synopsis says, “Unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, actor Nick Cage accepts a $1 million offer to attend a wealthy fan’s birthday party. Things take a wildly unexpected turn when a CIA operative recruits Cage for an unusual mission. Taking on the role of a lifetime, he soon finds himself channelling his most iconic and beloved characters to save himself and his loved ones.”
If that’s not enough to get you hooked, how about an ensemble cast featuring Pedro Pascal, Neil Patrick Harris, Tiffany Haddish and more to seal the deal? Critics are calling the buddy comedy movie the actor’s best work in years. As far as fans are concerned, here are some of the best reactions we found:
Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent sprawls in the best of ways. Three genres, a hilarious play sequence, the best LSD sequence I’ve seen, a deep love for Paddington 2, some of Pedro Pascal’s best work to date and a joke hidden in a cut that made me laugh for 5 straight minutes.

Just finished watching Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (the new Nick Cage flick), and it was honestly so much more than I thought it'd be. Not only was it a celebration of cinema, it was a film dedicated TO cinema. Just another genuinely fantastic film of 2022… of many! pic.twitter.com/ToRdc1NFe2

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent had no right being as good as it was.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent was one of the funniest films I’ve seen in ages. I laughed myself to tears. It’s Pedro Pascal’s movie as much as Nick’s, and damn it if it isn’t heartwarming as hell.

I cannot overhype The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent enough. The script is the new bible, Nicholas Cage is the modern Shakespeare and the entire movie is my new deity that makes Citizen Kane looks like trash
