I think audiences will be able to see themselves or someone they know in this movie. The film does a great job at taking a few jabs at all the people who will do anything to become a celebrity. It's really two stories in one: it starts out as a social commentary and morphs into an escape/action flick. The movie does have a few flaws thanks to its low budget, but on the whole, it looks good, the acting is good, and you actually care about the characters. It's funny too. The film is a little bizarre and unpredictable, but that's a good thing as it keeps your attention from start to finish. That's something I can't say about a lot of movies I see nowadays.
This was a really an enjoyable movie with a great premise... an average guy (Bob) obsessed with being famous. I think a lot of people can relate. The only difference is Bob humorously tries everything and anything to be famous without success - - his last attempt gets him committed to a mental hospital. About ready to give up on his lifelong dream, he meets other patients - - one who believes he's a British secret agent (Smith) who claims that Bin Laden is still alive and hiding in upstate New York. Funny stuff watching Bob and a group of mental patients escape the hospital in a wild journey that is surprisingly heartwarming in an effort to help Bob find fame. Story was interesting, acting was excellent, and the production value for an indie film rivals any movie you would see in a theater. The movie is short in duration, but it's a fun time nonetheless.
Say what you want about this film but I'm a believer in responding to a movie within the context of its intentions. This is a solid indie comedy, great performances all around, well shot and put together considering what I imagine were its budgetary restrictions. I've read some reviews that seem to aggressively attack certain aspects of this film to a nonsensical degree. It was definitely funny, definitely well shot (unless you don't know what that actually means) and even though yes, it had script issues, it was an all around good time. Worth a watch for a good laugh on movie night, check it out.
Terrible. i laughed twice before i gave up about 45 minutes in. it was to the point that i didn't even care how it ended, which almost never happens with me, even with movies i hate (1 viewing)
Bad writing, bad editing, bad acting and little racist. This movie was utter crap all the way through. The cringeworthy dramatic pauses when the actors were delivering lines was almost unbearable. The production and post production mistakes were too many to count. It was not funny because they tried too hard to be funny. Just bad. Do not waste your time.
