The Magician (2010)

Gary and I absolutely LOVE the show "Mr. Inbetween," so we looked up this faux-documentary that introduced the character more than a decade before the show debuted. 

It's gritty and funny -- just like the show -- but the character of Ray is less polished and in control of his feelings. I guess that's appropriate for a character that is now 15 years older than he would've been at the time this was shot. Basically, the show's better, but I think if I'd seen the movie first, I'd not have been disappointed and it couldn't suffer in comparison.
