JERZY CANNON is an UNSUCCESSFUL FAILURE

Is there anybody out there better at making fun of themselves than the British?  Sure, lots of people are good at making fun of other people but when it comes to smart self-mockery it’s got to be the UK all the way.  They’ve made the uncomfortable pause an art form unto itself over there, ditto the slip of the tongue and the absurdly hilarious dimwit taking himself far too seriously.  Enter Jerzy Cannon.  The creation of writer-director Guy Pearson as brought to life by co-writer Paul Meagher, Cannon is a would-be rock singer who never was.  But that’s not stopping him from making his own feature film.  Oh, no.  Here comes Unsuccessful Failure: The Untold Story of Jerzy Cannon and it’s a pretty safe bet that if you’re at all fond of Steve Coogan or Armando Iannucci you’re going to want to check out the trailer below the break.
