Britney, Baby, One More Time

Then stay the heck away from this.

If you've never heard the expression 'so bad it goes past good and back to bad' then this movie is a big steaming example of it.

Remember how funny these losers were when they were being themselves? Not so much when they're trying to act, even when (or especially when) the characters they're trying to portray are themselves.

There are ride-along characters that do nothing but annoy, the dialog, again, see 'so bad...' description. The premise is funny enough for the first 15 minutes, but rather than a brilliant observation of idiots, we get a movie by idiots.And not in a funny, cute, or fascinating way, only in a way that should make any higher primate rage at the very idea of spending money to release it.

After viewing "Britney, Baby,One More Time", I was impressed by the simplicity of the movie and it's need to not be pretentious. I am not a Britney Spears fan and I am not a female impersonator fan, so I expected little, and, as a result, was awarded much. I thought the director skillfully blended strong supporting roles as well as main roles into a delightful blend of comedy and campiness. Robert Stephens does not take himself too seriously, and, therefore, the movie works. I thought the best performance of the film belonged to Karl Makinen as the TV producer. He drove the movie without overplaying and created the most memorable scenes. Mike Schank simply stole the film and reminded us how less is more. There are some classic scenes in the movie which deserve recognition (but I won't give them away)and I eagerly look forward to the next Ludi Boeken directed film.

Britney baby one more time is a fantastic movie that stars two fantastic people. Mark Borchardt and Mike Shank. These two briliant people we're in the true life documentary AMERICAN MOVIE. Which is a fantastic movie, and also one of my favorite movies. But there is a sad story to both these movies. American Movie is hardly known by anyone. And Britney Baby one more time only played at the Sundance film festeval, and very recently for a short time, here in Portland Oregon. Mark and Mike are the most brilliant people out there and nobody is able to recognize them. Hopefully if they keep doing what they do best, they will one day be recognised.

I saw this at Sundance expecting a fun comedy, but I was dead wrong. I laughed just about twice, and they were both forced laughs. About half of the audience walked out sometime during the movie. And I'm going light on it. This movie is absolutely starved of imagination or wit; it plays desperately, amateurishly, and crappily. The writing? Didn't seem like there was any, even with the wooden acting and consistent idiocy. As for Mark Borschardt and Mike Schank... "Britney" does "Coven" shame.

i saw britney baby one more time at the sundance film festival this year and loved it! it was absolutely the best film i saw there, and all of my friends agree that robert stephens, the world's best britney spears look alike is endearing, funny and sincere, and mike schank and mark borchardt are just hilarious, outrageous , delireous and cool. the meeting of the fake gay britney with our hard drinking wisconsin duo is a total must!!
