Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely the worst movie.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Joaquin Phoenix, with Casey Affleck's camera watching, tells people he's quitting to pursue a career in rap music. Over the next year, we watch the actor write, rehearse, and perform to an audience. He importunes Sean Combs in hopes he'll produce the record. We see the actor talk philosophy with Affleck, and comments on celebrity. I'm Still Here proves that Casey Affleck is no Ben Affleck i mean this film was a waste of time plus Phoenix is such an overrated and horrendous actor with only a few good perfomances on his career. Just watch Gone Baby Gone!!!

Huge trip of Casey Affleck and Joaquin Phoenix who decided to film in this mockumentary the fake career change of JP, from the movie set to the recording booths as an apprentice rapper.Now that everyone knows this was a hoax, the movie becomes pretty much pointless and will only be remembered for a few memorable scenes like the final rap at the nightclub and the fake fight that followed.Still, this movie should be seen at least once for the rather incredible performance of the actor who had to embody his role of a wannabe rapper for a year and a half on each public appearance which might have been his most difficult and greatest role to date.

I went into this movie thinking it would be pretty funny since it was a mockumentary of sorts. Parts of the movie, especially scenes with Antony or the bits where you actually get to hear Joaquin's music, were hilarious. Especially the music--I had to re-watch one of his songs a few times, it was just such a great scene.But, the thing is, a lot of it is the type of humor you'd expect from a Jackass movie or something similar--very teenage-boy kind of humor, if you know what I mean. I think if you are in any way prudish, or easily disturbed, this film is definitely not for you.Overall, it was a pretty good movie and I'm glad I saw it. Some of the acting was a bit overdone in my opinion, and at some points, it was easy to see that the film was scripted, but it's a pretty funny movie that reveals a lot of (sometimes shocking) truths about being a celebrity, and it makes it more clear as to why celebrities do some of the crazy things that they sometimes do.

It's easy to be naughty--but to be naughty intentionally, without style or wit or grace or insight into the human condition, well, it's grindingly dull, not unlike watching the class clown repeat the same of gag which might have been funny once, but becomes silly and stupid and you hate yourself for watching. If, in the mold of Sasha Baron Cohen it's a put-on, it fails entertainment value. If its not a put-on, why should we take any pleasure in watching some poor inarticulate sap self-destruct? And if it is a satire of some sort, watching Joaquin Phoenix mumble and shuffle and swear and go in and out of focus is neither edifying nor entertaining. Its very rare I find a film devoid of merit, and while this strange creation was probably a good deal of fun for Phoenix and Casey Affleck, they fail to bring much to the party other than stoner attitudes. If you have nothing better to do, watch Phoenix in the Johnny Cash film again, or Affleck in the excellent Jesse James film, in which his performance digs deeply. I'm still here? Begone! Lifes too short for this one
