Bum Reviews

"Oh my God! This is the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life!" -- Chester A. Bum.

Chester A. Bum is a character created by Walker to review current and new film releases (usually the film opening with the widest release that weekend). Chester often starts off every review stating that said film is "the greatest movie I've ever seen in my life!" Throughout the review, he questions many aspects in the film and even compares them to himself or the many narcotics (drugs) he has taken. In many cases, Chester will also talk a little bit about his past. He typically ends every review with his final verdict and a plea for some change in his Styrofoam cup. The only two videos (as of February 13, 2009) to depart from the format is the Bum's review of The Dark Knight (in which Chester is left almost speechless) and Citizen Kane (which Chester gives a negative review). Walker's actual opinion of the film is presented in the end credits card (e.g. "Seriously though, Indiana Jones was okay."). His first review of Speed Racer was on May 11th 2008 and has since reviewed at least each weekly new release. Chester has made cameos on episodes 5 and 6 of Ask That Guy With the Glasses, and also during The Nostalgia Critic's Follow That Bird, : Annihilation and SNICK reviews. Chester also appeared in the promo for the February 2009 Live Donation Drive and Doug got into character during the Drive itself. On April Fools Day 2009, Chester took the place of The Nostalgia Critic to review The Neverending Story. The full list of Bum Reviews can be seen here.
