Lot's of people are disregarding this movie due to "Lack of plot" or "Poor cinematography".
This isn't supposed to be that sort of movie, it's a mockumentary, done in the style of a documentary.
They have nailed that look perfectly, and the plot doesn't matter in a comedy.
The comedy is great, the deadpan nature of it is hilarious, the jokes are brilliant.
Go in with the open mind that it's not your classic style of comedy.
I think it's a great movie.
