Mr T: I Pity the Fool Review – Strong Star, Rushed Execution
A Guardian critic finds Mr. T's documentary showcases his charisma but suffers from poor production quality, including misspellings of his name.
A new documentary, "Mr T: I Pity the Fool," features the former A-Team star recounting his life story with charisma, according to The Guardian's review. The film draws favorable comparisons to his iconic role as BA Baracus on the 1980s action series, highlighting Mr. T's talent for combining toughness with warmth and humor.
However, the reviewer criticizes the production for being rushed and poorly executed, noting errors such as misspellings of Mr. T's name. The critic suggests these flaws represent a missed opportunity to properly document the career of a genuinely electrifying performer, and notes that Mr. T himself is reportedly unhappy with the final product.
