To me, this movie is perfection.
Excellent but underrated film
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Blistering performances.
Randy (David Leo Schultz) is a production assistant who is also narcoleptic. When he passes out he dreams about bad movie spoofs. The film company he works for creates "B" grade movie rip offs and is going broke. They decide to make a spoof movie, something that Randy hates. Ellie Gerber shines as Wendy, the adorable girl next door.I admit I had several LOL moments. For instance in one scene, Chevy Chase asks, "What makes a great movie?" Jennifer Sciole replies, "Paris Hilton." There were however more scenes that didn't work than those that did. Many of the spoofs were simply not funny.No sex, no nudity, I don't recall any f-bombs. Some minor sex talk, but this is not a sex comedy. Burt Reynolds and Michael Madsen are in limited roles.
First things first - despite the title, this *isn't* a spoof movie in the realm of Friedberg/Seltzer, etcetera. It's actually a quite funny mockumentary about a struggling movie company who turns to spoof movies when all of their other ideas haven't worked... which, to be honest, is a pretty accurate depiction of Hollywood today.Even then, the spoof movie plot is relatively subdued, taking a backseat to the hilarious antics and romantic failures of Randy, a movie crew nobody who manages to rise higher and higher through the ranks as the company falls to pieces, eventually becoming a director totally devoid of experience or basic intelligence. This is absolutely a 'love him or hate him' sort of character, but he never fails to deliver the laughs.While the film isn't quite as celebrity packed as the artwork would have you believe - Burt Reynolds appears in exactly one scene - Chevy Chase and especially Michael Madsen put in memorable roles, Madsen being perfectly cast as a murderous convict who temporarily heads the studio. Another surprising highlight in the cast was Ellie Gerber, likely cast due to her uncanny resemblance to Scary Movie's Anna Faris, but nonetheless charming and likable.Overall, it's a shame this film didn't gain more exposure, with much of the intended audience wrongly assuming it was going to be another in the long line of terrible spoof movies. Give it a chance, and go into it without any preconceived notions - I expected the worst and came out very pleasantly surprised.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder . I have found that the critic's are about the weakest people in the world .The critic picks apart everything that disturbs them and cannot see the good . The thing is the movie was made and will be alive forever . I support the fact that many a good actor got together with this , I respect their work and the work that was put into this . In this day of age anything that can capture your attention , bring some humor to the table and take our minds off the world and current events is a hit .I have never seen a bad movie . Paul Vincent Coleman , Actor/Musician / Disabled Veteran . Yes I am in the IMDb .
To this day I am still shocked how many sequels that come out. I suppose this movie is typical of the usual junk that is found from these movie titles. I'm not sure if it is because I'm a Brit , but not one thing was remotely funny in this film.There are some fairly big names that appear in the film , they get to do a few lines mentioning films they have been in real life. I believe the studio thinks this is funny , but it beyond scraping the bottom of an already badly scratch barrel.My advice is avoid this movie , because anything would be better than this junk.
