More Than Frybread

This movie was a random watch for me that turned out to be so enjoyable. I found myself laughing so much throughout. It kinda gives me a "Parks & Rec" vibe (I love that show) and is just so ridiculous at points that you can't help but laugh. I hope more people get to see this one.

This movie is about a fictitious fry bread competition in Flagstaff, Arizona. Representatives from the many Arizona Native American tribes travel to Flagstaff for this first annual State of Arizona Frybread Competition. It is in the form of a documentary and we get to meet the contestants in their native lands before the competition.

The story follows five of the 22 entrants and we get to know them and root for them when they get to Flagstaff. The movie is not technically a slapstick comedy but it is humorous and a little crazy. The actors do a great job and they play their characters so well you almost wonder if it's not a real competition and they are not actors at all.

I watched this movie with my family in a theater only 15 miles from the Apache Reservation. Almost everyone in the theater was Native American, we are not. They laughed at the parts we laughed at and then some. I guess there is humor that only they can understand. They seemed to enjoy the playful rivalry between the tribes.

All in all it was an enjoyable movie. If you live in Arizona around any of the Indian Reservations, you will enjoy this movie as the Indians say and do very typical or even stereotypical things.

This movie answers the age-old question, "what the heck is fry bread" in a very entertaining way, which I'm very thankful for and excited about. No matter where I go in America if I tell people about fry bread, so many people ask me that.

And of course if you already know what the heck fry bread is you will love this movie on so many additional levels.

Travis is spinning off a TV pilot of the same thing as we speak. It will simply be called "Frybread." And it is also a comedy. I'm not sure yet if it'll be mockumentary in nature too or not.

Enjoy this movie if you can.

You'll thank me later!

More Than Frybread is an adventure that will leave you feeling uplifted and inspired. It's a true celebration of community, tradition, and the universal love for good food and good company.

The comedic timing of these first time actors is always spot on! The movie beautifully captures the spirit of Native American communities, showcasing their traditions, humor, and challenges in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

This charming film takes you on a heartwarming journey filled with laughter, cultural pride, and a whole lot of frybread. Someone get me a Navajo Taco! Can't wait for More Than Frybread 2.

This was basically 2 hours of yelling and screaming. It has to be one of the poorest films I have seen.
