'Owen Wilson's 'Paint' Satire Takes on Toxic Masculinity with Bob Ross Twist'

"Paint" is a satirical film about Carl Nargle, a one-man instructional painting show host who is a relic of the past. He is a smooth operator who treats the PBS staff like vassals and sleeps with every woman he can. His ratings are sinking, and when a next-generation painter is given a PBS show to air right after his, it's a sign that his era has passed. The film skewers a certain kind of toxic self-deluding male myopia. Owen Wilson plays Carl in a pitch-perfect daze, though the movie strikes its principal note too many times.
