  • Summary: Flash is a man who longs for the day when he worked as a crew member on such cinematic masterpieces as Citizen Kane. When Flash meets teenage film fanatic Cameron Kincaid, he becomes an unlikely mentor and agrees to help Cameron make a film to compete in a student competition where the top prize is a film-school scholarship and, for Cameron, a ticket out of his difficult home life. Flash, who sees his own life drawing to a close, recruits the support of his eccentric friends at the Retirement home for Motion Picture Crew and helps Cameron make his film and chase his dream.

  1. A ramshackle but likeable story.
  2. Man in the Chair has few surprises. Once its machinery is humming, it settles into a soothing fable of a last hurrah.
  3. 38
    The movie works so hard at juggling its cliches that it fails to generate interest in its story.

    This is a unique impact motion picture experience. A call to action! Both my parents and my daughter responded with sincere declarations of bridging difficult issues with love. Expand
