television, Rick must confront what it takes to be a true leader.
My Review and Thoughts:
This movie can be summed up in three ways, hysterical,
hysterical, and hysterical. This is an interesting comical, odd and strange
film. Surprisingly fresh and pure entertainment. The way this film displays
itself is almost like a documentary, but in reality, it's a fictional style
telling, with some truths. It is a comedy film but yet also mixes a weird sense
of, you don't know if you should be laughing or not.
Comical genius of the dork side of humor, best describes this film. The acting is
downright memorable to the point you will be talking about this film long after
the credits role.
This has to be seen to be understood. This has to be
experienced to fully appreciate its true dorky originality. I laughed to the
point of hurting at certain moments. That is what this movie is, a true comical
one of a kind reality that creates a goofball mentality.
This is a special kind of comedy. You have to like the
goofy, nutty style of humor. This is the style of humor that is pure silliness. Childlike fodder of
playground dorkiness. The shinning of the film is the acting by Dave Abed as
your main character. His sense of, senselessness is what drives this film.
Another perfect release by Brink Vision to DVD. They gave
another outlet to a unique and very entertaining piece of cinema that I highly
recommend.
