I loved this film, it was really funny and well written. i saw a lot of myself and my friends in the humor. Really good job by the cast and crew. Apparently the guy who serves them in the video store is Mark Prebble one of the writers who also directs. If you like this Mark is one of the writers for the kiwi sitcom "B and B" on Maori TV in New Zealand. I think that the job that Mark did to raise publicity for this movie from his web site: makemarksmovie.com is a really clever idea and one that certainly paid off with him gaining not only cash but also people with the expertise to help him finish what was a labour of love. I saw this movie in my local video store and was pleased that it has gotten some kind of NZ distribution. It is good that NZ movies are getting out there and that everyone who contributes to them gets some public acknowledgement for their hard work.
