    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.

    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.

    A Must Watch!!!

    I loved it from beginning to end. Too bad real American Pirates are becoming extinct because of streaming services. I just had a blast with this film. I use to kwow real bootleg pirates and they were cool and funny like the film.

    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.

    Really Well Done Indie

    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.
