I have the complete opposite take, I thought the voice he created for the character was great.

The narration was hilarious, he sounded so stupid and resigned to his tragic comedy of a life and the way they paired that with a lot of visual gags made the first two thirds of the film so enjoyable for me. To me, where it really fell off was the final third which became a very slow, linear trudge towards a very predictable Hollywood happy ending. Every scene from the post-attempted assassination arrests onward dragged so badly.Mickey wasn't a idiot though. Ironically it just became a typical Hollywood attack on the working man rather than depicting a lower class character that likes to read about history but doesn't have skills his society demands he have in order to respect his personhood.
