A funny and joyful film, Funny all the way through
csmfjb17 September 2005
Warning: Spoilers
"The Troubled Interviewee" the premise An incompetent new filmmaker wants to try his hand as an interviewer, with half an idea he sets out to find a willing subject. From the start you know it will be a humorous film, as the new filmmaker starts his project he pans the camera from his car to show how unpopulated the area is and as he points it out the back window you get more of his back seat and he comments, "Well, my back seat is not populated anyway." There are many deadpan deliveries that Anthony pulls off very well.

He approaches a girl and with clumsy and inept questions he stumbles along but actually gets her to agree to let him into her house, after she starts talking you see why. As the interview progressed I was grinning the entire time. I didn't know which was more funny, the girl, who was artfully played by Rebecca Lynne, which could have been a case file for a psychiatrist, or Anthony as the interviewer who sees he has gotten in way over his head. They follow no script which is fantastic imagination on both actor's parts. Plus, with no script, you will be surprised at what comes next as it does not follow a boring Hollywood template.

Another Great Film from Spadaccini
realbottomguy5 October 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Right from the start you know you are in for a comedic treat. Seeing Anthony Spadaccini act in other films I appreciated the talent he has to be able to act stupid. Stupid in a funny way, very low keyed, very off the cuff, but great. There are stand up comics who would love to have his timing and delivery. The movie was shot without a solid script in hand and again reinforces the talent of the actors. to be able to interact with each other, and in many surprisingly ways is fantastic. The female lead, Rebecca Lynne is great looking and a spitfire as she nails her role. I am still surprised she has not been snapped up by a major studio, she has the looks, the voice, the improv intelligence, her talent is way above some of our "Stars" of today.

Anthony has made a second part to this interview that compliments well, but I will save my thoughts on that one when it gets its national release. Believe it or not they are even better in part two.
