L.A. D.J.

What the heck is with the DVD market these days? It seems as if anybody can shoot a movie on video and get it released. This film(er, taped film) is another in the long list of titles flooding the market with zero quality. The kid from American Pie must be having career problems. Otherwise he would be appearing in real films instead of directing and producing his own home made production ala "L.A. D.J." Even worse, this kid must really have an ego, otherwise he would know better than to put his name on this piece of garbage. I mean, really. This thing is really a stinker bomb. It is not funny. It is ridiculous. Gee, how many times can the word "dude" or "bro" be used in 90 minutes? And is farting in somebody's face repeatedly funny? I'll admit, "Dude, where's my car" was funny. But at least that film combined the bathroom humor with at least some intelligence. No wonder this went straight to DVD. It should have stayed off the market. Period.

Just checked out this "little" gem of a comedy film : "LADJ"... Awesome movie and the not the "run of the mill" same old "formula" buddy film story you so often see these days!!!

Thomas Ian Nicholas ("Rookie of the Year", "American Pie" fame) was terrific as were all the other cast members... It's what I like (and like to call)- a "great small movie"- more "character driven" with great writing rather than a bunch of mindless violence and big-budget special effects.... This movie gets my vote for becoming the next big sleeper hit ( a la "My Big Fat Greek Wedding")

Check it out..... ASAP!!!!!

I saw this movie at one of it's showings and really enjoyed it. I think it's really good for a first effort in writing and directing. Better than a lot of movies that seem to be out there. I have been following Thomas Nicholas' career for years and for someone so young to take on such a huge project as making a movie is awesome. I hope the industry is paying attention to it. The story has a plot and a moral. It is aimed at younger adults, but older ones can enjoy it too. Even though it is about DJ's it could be about the struggles of any two brothers to make it in this world and what an impact it could have on their relationship if things go wrong. I hope it gets picked up by someone soon!

Got a chance to see this flick at the Vail Film Fastival while I was in the States. Nearly fell off my chair a couple of times. The guy that played Kevin in the American Pie movies is in it. (Was he the guy from Rookie of the Year??). Damn funny stuff.

Anyway... cool soundtrack, decent performances all round, great story line. It's actually a pretty original story, which is a nice change from the usual re-hash movies we get these days. It's really weird that a bigger studio didn't pick it up.

Go see it as soon as possible.

I was invited to watch this film whilst at the Sundance Film Festival and I was massively impressed with the comic talent displayed in this film....

Both the writing and acting was first class with a commendable comic performance from all of the cast... most notable was Thomas Ian Nicholas (aka Thombo) of American Pie fame, Tim Scarne (aka Timbo), and Caleb Moody (Larry).

I will look forward to the next films in which the afore-mentioned three will be appearing... and for now my only advice is......

GO SEE THE FILM!!
