NYT 1000 films. Certainly a unique film that I respect. People working and living sad lives, but still managing to pursue their dream of making a movie in Wisconsin. Loved the culture and the Packers. I don’t plan to see it again, nor did I find it very humorous. Saw on box.

It’s worth a watch because elements of this

It’s worth a watch because elements of this documentary play out like a mockumentary. It is incredibly funny in places, particularly Mike, the sweethearted stoner. The other conclusion I drew was that Mike clearly had a lot of drive, energy and even talent. It’s a shame he wasn’t from a background where that talent could be nurtured in a professional setting because he would be an asset to most film productions. Enjoyable depiction of ambition and relentless determination in an American backwater, showing the pluck and freedom of the American dream writ to a small screen picture. Watched on Amazon Prime which I was surprised and delighted to see was showcasing this indie documentary that I’d heard about elsewhere.

If you think this is "funny trash" watch

If you think this is "funny trash" watch THE ROOM starring Tommy Wiseau. This movie is just a waste of time, not even funny, bad slice of life TRASH. It's not funny AT ALL
