Extremedays (2001)

Doesn't take itself seriously... and that's why it succeeds
9 September 2006
One of the most common mistakes for low-budget films (and especially Christian-targeted movies) is to attempt to be something they're not: Hollywood material. If Extreme Days had attempted to follow this pattern it would have failed miserably, because it simply can't be taken seriously; but that's the best part. It doesn't take itself seriously either. They knew it sucked when they made it, and they embraced that; and the result is surprisingly funny. I've shown this movie to lots of friends, and while they initially shrug it off and look at me like they can't believe I'm actually recommending it, after watching it they agree that it was much better than they ever expected.
