The Premier of "Nacho Mountain" was in the middle of a blizzard in East Greenville, and a turnout of over 100 people... friends and cast members. Very impressed by the production quality of Mitch Csanadi's comic take on competitive eating. A "Fight Club" parody that works on so many levels, because of casting and fine editing. Shot in Hi-Def in Coopersburg and Allentown PA, this low-brow comedy is a template for most Vince Vaughn/Adam Sandler style comedies of late.
Jay Larson (stand-up Comic actor in his first feature role)is Keefer, a slacker office drone who lost his job, and his home life is worse. His only talent is eating food...and now he has a new mission in life, to shovel massive amounts of garbage into his gut, for money. His sidekick Meegosh (Kevin Interdanato is hilarious) sets up FOODWARS with local dummies to make extra cash.
It's all been done in the past, but Mitch Csanadi's fast paced comedy hits the marks on most levels. Smart alec slackers take on the local establishment douchebags to make some small change. And get some poontang when they can.
Jokes are fast and funny, with Jay Larson doing a good straight-man to the rest of the slobs and freaks around him. A freaky weed dealer, hardcore slobs named "Entree The Giant" and "Sloberati", and a douche-bag Mayor Fingstal (John Charles Hunt channeling Jackie Gleason for full effect)for the finale Battle Royale to see who can pound down the most Perogies and Chicken Wings in record time.
Csanadi and crew of local are in the game. Some raw talent here (better than Broken Lizard duds like "Slammin Salmon" and "Club Dread")with moments of inspired laughs. Sure, the fart-poop-barf moments rule the day, but the attitude is pumping strong. Low Budget/Low Brow perks. Enjoy the moment! Heavy Soundtack Kills. A trailer park "Dodgeball" with enough gags to gag on.
