    Piracy never felt so good

    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.

    I liked it, others may not...

    ... 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!

    Piracy never felt so good

    If you were ever interested in how the world of DVD Bootleg Piracy works, then this is the film for you. Even though I don't think hardly anybody buys bootleg movies anymore since streaming took off, this film shows what it was like to have been a Bootleg Pirate before jail broke amazon sticks were available. Very interesting, well done, and funny film. I Highly recommend it.

    Very realistic but comedic approach to a serious problem

    If you live in NY then you know about DVD bootleggers. They roam the street selling illegal copies of movies in theaters. This movie basically shows you these peoples lives and why they do what they do. It's never boring and funny at times. I really enjoyed it.

    The Three American Amigos

    This was a really cool original film. It's about these 3 morons who think that if they sell enough bootleg DVDs, they will raise enough money to make a real film so that they can stop being criminals. They are lovable losers who you root for even though they are on the wrong side of the law. I really enjoyed this film. It is a real jem.
