Sadly Over-hyped

Just perfect...

It is a performances centric movie

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The movie tries and breaks down the wall between itself and the viewer. While I haven't watched "I'm still here" yet, I'm sure it will be more subtle and better approach to "fake-behind-the-scenes" movie/documentary, than this was. But it's not for lack of trying or finding some stars to play in your movie (or "names"). Most of them only appear for a brief segment of course.The thing that will make or break the film for you, is if you can laugh at the silly scenario or not. I wanted to, but I just couldn't. Dax Sheppard seems like a cool guy (on late night/TV shows where he appears), but that doesn't change the fact, that for all his effort, he just can't pull this off.A really superb (spoof?) making of a star is "Exit through the gift shop". Watch this and see how this sort of movies should be done and you'll understand

Without professional training or proper structure for pitching a film, Dax Shepard goes out on a whim to raise his brain child, "Brother's Justice", a Martial-Arts film starring himself, and abandons his career in comedy to dedicate himself to it's production full-time. Surprisingly, Dax recruits long time friend Nate Tuck as his producer and they embark on a quest for funding, a cast, and advertisement in hopes of bringing "Brother's Justice" to the big screen. Dax has such high hopes for the film, he even hires David Palmer, who is also the director of the actual movie, to film its progress as a documentary.Now to be clear, this film is a mockumentary about Dax Shepard making a movie, if you were confused. The Dax portrayed in the movie, struggling to bring his magnum opus to a theater near you, seemed like he also struggled to bring comedy in the film in some areas. Surely there were hilarious moments in the film, as you would expect, but other times Dax was trying too hard to be funny, and even though it is a mockumentary, it seemed a little too dumb at times. However, I did enjoy it very much. The movie was fresh the whole way through, and was pleasantly entertaining and original. Shepard did not slack off in light of the resources available to do the film, but I still feel it had eminent potential to be a gigantic success if a few extra hands were involved in the writing process. Although it wasn't as powerful as prejudged, it wouldn't hurt to take the blindfold off "Brother's Justice" and have a pretty good laugh.

Good God ... I just woke up after another attempt to watch this movie/docku-mockumentary (or whatever it is) and decided to write a few lines here as an warning to all other folks around the world who maybe came up with the same idea.I'm so drained and weary right now, but even if I was at my best I wouldn't know how to write a review of a movie that has nothing going on for (what it felt like) hours but is actually just slightly more than 70 minutes long (wth!?) wow ! Thinking back, why did I start watching this celluloid sanity torture in the first place ? Maybe because with an glimpse of my eye I saw all that guest appearances of celebrities I like on it's IMDb page, or probably even more because I hoped to see Kristen Bell's cameo ... it will remain unknown to me ... the bottom line is, I'm writing this for you and if you're planing on watching this, consider yourself warned (and prepare a comfy pillow)

this film threw me a curve ball, i had no idea what to expect when i watched this. it has some familiar names and it was sorta interesting. its more like a documentary type of film with the 3rd party sorta thing. its clearly low budget and it was not the worst thing to watch yet i know you can see something else that might not be a big wast of your time like this film is. you most likely only herd of this film if you keep an eye out for new DVD's coming out and thats how i found it. i had a few laughs here and there and don't expect much from this and you will be OK knowing that its a wast of time. watch only when your bored and given up hope.
