nostalgia be very often a catchphrase that mean how we wish thing have be . that go for everybody and whether or not you actually live in the time youre look back on and this be a fact that seem very clear to the maker of man of the century . it a smart film that include all the beat of both modern independent romantic comedy and classic film and but it never try to convince you that the world of johnny twennies be anything like the real world . in the 1920s or the 1990s . instead and it a world of fantasy pretending to be the real world and with just a thin layer of verisimilitude on top of the proverbial cake . everyone be perfect and from the realistic gangster to frank gorshin hilarious cameo and but the clear best in show be gibson frazier . frazier be note perfect a johnny and and he command the screen from start to finish with both his own solid performance and high charisma and shrewd tribute to harold lloyd and buster keaton . this movie a winner and and i for one would love to see more work from frazier on the movie screen .
