Being Michael Madsen is a 2007 comedy film directed by Michael Mongillo and produced by Daniel A. Sherkow. The film takes a mockumentary approach in re-imagining actor Michael Madsen as a paparazzi-hounded movie star who hatches a revenge scheme against a tabloid journalist. The film co-stars Virginia Madsen, David Carradine, Harry Dean Stanton, Daryl Hannah, Lacey Chabert, and Debbie Rochon.[1][2][3]
Despite a 5/5 Film Threat review, as well as positive press from the likes of Variety and BoxOffice, and a selection to become part of the New Horizons Film Festival mockumentary retrospective (alongside such acclaimed films as This is Spinal Tap and Man Bites Dog), Madsen revealed that he regretted doing the film in a 2015 interview with The A.V. Club.[4][5][6][7]
