Zelig
ComedyBased on a true storyScaryLight and funny
Fictional documentary about the life of human chameleon Leonard Zelig, a man who becomes a celebrity in the 1920s due to his ability to look and act like whoever is around him. Clever editing places Zelig in real newsreel footage of Woodrow Wilson, Babe Ruth, and others.
Certified PG — fine to watch with family.

★★★½☆
931 votes across 1 source
Blended from TMDB 74 (100% weight); shrunk toward a 62 baseline by 931 total votes. Not a plain average: sources are weighted by reliability and vote count, and thin evidence is pulled toward the catalogue baseline.
- · Rated by only a few hundred people, so the score is less reliable.
- · Short and done in under an hour and a half.
- · An older title — pacing and style may feel dated.
