Storyline

A year after the collapse of a low-budget British rom-com, documentary maker Andy Wiseman sets out to find out what went wrong. He speaks to the producer, Nicholas Johnson, an alcoholic whose office is a lap-dancing club, the writer, Flynn Beatty, living in a suburban semi, and the deluded 'visionary' director, Harlan Noble, dwelling in deserved obscurity. But as the cast and crew tell their tale, will Andy ever get to the bottom of the farrago that was 'Just for the Record'?

Epic Fail

Jenna Harrison is the best thing in this film, and she didn't even have any lines.

But you know what, it was watchable. A lot of the storyline was a bit confusing, and sometimes didn't make sense. You would expect more from such a seemingly good cast. I kept expecting something great to happen, or for the storyline to come together, but it just didn't. I admit, I was a bit disappointed, but I watched it all the way through. So thats something, right?

At the end of the day, I support British films, and British actors. Its not brilliant, at times its not even good. Its watchable, predictable and AT TIMES laughable. But hey, give it a go.
