American Pirates

This is a weird subject for a film, but they did a good job telling the story of these 3 idiots trying to sell bootleg movies on the streets of NY. It is heartfelt and hilarious at times. A must see.

If you like independent films and comedy, then you will love this film. It has a very interesting story that is very original. It's an underdog story about the little guys trying to leave their mark on the world, even if they are going about it in the wrong way.

... because the gags are so quickfire and chucked into the script with little thought as to whether they suit the plot (what plot?) No matter for me, because I was laughing all the way through, but I can appreciate why some people might not like that.

Like I said, don't go into this looking for a plot, because there isn't really anything other than the most basic premise to satisfy the distributors. I personally found it refreshing that the movie asked no requirement of me other than that I be able to laugh. This I did, loudly and frequently.

A final note. You will have a blast!

The movie is in black and white and I think that's what made it a better film because it reminded me of Clerks, which I love. These characters are all losers but they try hard to achieve their dream even though they are going about it the wrong way, by selling illegal movies. I decided to watch this film because these guys made another film called Waiting For Howard Stern and it was a documentary about promoting this film, so I figured, what the heck. I'm so glad I did because it was great ride. Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

I guess people just don't like Black and White films anymore. If you like great independent films like Clerks or Clerks 2, then you will love this film. They show the world of bootlegging through the eyes of three individuals who couldn't be any different. My favorite character is the police officer because he is a lovable loser.
