Featured reviews
The cast is generally very good and they do a decent job of taking jabs at the genre convention scene. It's silly, goofy, but definitely worth watching.
There's a good premise here, a forgotten child star seeking revenge on his terrible co-star. The faux retro shows they have come up with are pretty cool. Unfortunately, the plot is just bizarre and messy, the characters without heart, and the villain unbelievably vile and one-dimensional.
The jokes are repetitious and almost compulsively bad taste. Most of them are awkward like a Ross Geller joke without laugh track because the editing doesn't support them either. Nor the sound design: Sometimes instrumental music drowns conversations that could be snappy and funny.
The film seems to take a stand against greedy people exploiting nerds, but at the same time it seems to spite nerd culture. It never misses an opportunity to tell you how sweaty nerds are and that furries and hentai are weird.
The cultural references seem forced. Like, we don't need to be told that a man hanging from the ceiling in a harness is a reference to Mission Impossible. And no "Game of Thrones" fan would say "you Game of Thrones Mountain wannabe".
This film at least demonstrates the importance of script and post-production, because there are enought talent here to make a better movie.

This is a strange mess of a movie. It mocks comic-con culture, yet it's so deep into it that I don't even understand half the references. It's full of good actors, but their roles are disappointing and the editing is appalling. The entire movie grinds to a halt for excessively long scenes that don't have any relevance to the plot. Of all the mistakes made in this film, the editing is probably the worst.
Headline says pretty much everything that is necessary. Dick jokes here and there and a lazy plot to hold it together. 80s movie/TV stars past their prime try to rob a comic-con. Throw in an evil star that hates fans but brings money and the plot is pretty much covered. The heist is thrown in an ocean's eleven kind of way of throwing a few curve balls in a clever way, but the jokes get kinda annoying halfway through the film. It was watchable, but felt like it was just fastly put together. A current topic, with all the cons going around the world and few of them getting bad rep. If this was put together a bit better, this could have been good. Now it is left without anything special and will be forgotten before the year ends.
