God - or producers with an IQ over 90 - preserve us from writer/directors!

This has good potential, particularly for anyone who likes comics and the comic con world. Galaxy Quest, anyone? But in spite of several good ideas, it just doesn't pull it off.

Yes, you have to blame the script and the director. What a surprise, they're the same person!

It does have a couple of saving graces, however. Maggie Grace is brilliant, as is Brandon Morales.

And, for me, John Malkovich can do no wrong. Yes, not even here. Makes you wonder how they managed to get him on board, but he is known for doing quirky movies.

So watch it for the stars, not the script or dialogue or, well, anything else,really...

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. Casual racism. Toilet humour. And boring in parts too, which must be the cardinal sin in a caper comedy. As other reviewers have noted, it was a pretty good idea for a film, just poorly executed.

I'm confused by the Ryan Kwanten character: His lanyard said "Artist" but I didn't see him speaking to any fans or doing anything else an artist might do at a convention.

Hopefully this ends a few careers... not Maggie Grace though.
