More complete than sideways, and funnier!, 15 July 2005
9/10
Author: iKramerica-1 from Los Angeles

People compare this film to sideways, including those involved, but as a film, I think it's better. No, there's no pretentious wine tasting, but unlike sideways, you don't hate the characters by the end.

Anyway, I admit I was invited to the screening by Pete, but I only know him because we both write at the same coffee shop in LA. I never actually talked to him before he handed me the flier.

I was nervous that I'd have to say nice things about a bad film, but this was one of the most enjoyable films I've seen in a long while, and the whole audience laughed a lot. Very impressive.

And Thomas Lennon, who plays D.U.G. was fantastic. For those who don't know the name, he plays Lt. Dangle on Reno 911. Well written and acted role for him in this film.

If you want to laugh and have a good time, see this movie if you can. They are trying to get distribution, an uphill battle, but if any Indy comedy deserves to be seen, it's this one!

BTW - the 1 star guy? He has something against pete, and should be ignored. Even if you don't like a movie, it takes a lot to give it a 1 out of 10. even catwoman and electra aren't 1 out of 10. giving a 1 star to "balance" things is not how ratings are supposed to work.

there's enough backbiting and hatred in Hollywood. let's not take down a nice little movie that is fun to watch just out of spite.
