Bert Kreischer, known for his stand-up comedy, especially his shirtless performances, stars in “The Machine,” a film based on a fictionalized version of himself. In the late 1990s, Kreischer was known as the “top partier” at Florida State University, as named by Rolling Stone magazine. Despite Kreischer’s popularity as a stand-up comedian, he has not had much success in television and movie acting. With a rating of R for language, gore, and extreme partying, “The Machine” runs for 1 hour and 52 minutes in theaters. While Kreischer’s performance may not be enough to carry the film, fans of his stand-up comedy may still enjoy the shaggy dog story come to life on the big screen.
