The Chosen One (2010 film)

The Chosen One is a 2010 comedydrama film directed by and starring Rob Schneider as a car salesman facing a midlife crisis with the aid of native Colombian shamans. It also stars Steve Buscemi as his gay Buddhist brother.

Release of the film was delayed for three years this may have been due to uncertainty over how to market the film, as this movie which is primarily dramatic was inaccurately marketed as a straightforward comedy. There was also a lawsuit from Schneiders collaborator Bob Rubin in 2008 over a fee he felt he was due for helping to arrange financing for the film. The movie was eventually completed and released direct to video by Chosen One Productions RS LLC.Film Critics United, a pseudoanonymous online movie review website, wrote that Schneider gave a good performance, but the film failed due to other factors including its muddled plot. Brian Orndorf described it as an attempt at a more serious dramatic role, but was critical, finding the film a failure. Qwipster found the narrative lazy and the plot too bizarre to take seriously, scoring itwhile praising Schneiders restrained performance. DVD Verdict gave it a middling rating. ........
