Trivia

According to director Todd Louiso, during shooting and editing the film, it occurred to the filmmaking team that they needed to write some new material to punch up the comedy. Unfortunately the 2008 WGA Writers strike occurred and they had to wait six months before writing new material to shoot. Complicating the film's release was Paramount Vantage, the division of Paramount Pictures had gone under and was reshuffled within the studio.

Awful

Please, I implore you don't rent or buy this movie. I am upset that there isn't a committee to screen movies like this. It was so so so boring and NEVER went anywhere, no jokes, no smirks, no love, I'm amazed this movie even got produced. I love Ben Stiller, Zoolander is one of the best shows of all time but this show is a HUGE WASTE of time. This show may have been made in an attempt to please a specific audience. My guess is those who enjoy shows like "High School Musical", of which I am not a big fan, but I can still respect because of the talents that it exploits. This show, The Marc Pease Experience, however lacked any redeeming factors that High School Musical had or any other movie ever made...ever.
