This review is about the 26-minute short film cut of this, currently available on VODO for free, and apparently also on archive.org. It's still not short enough. I'm so happy I didn't have to endure the feature-length cut. You could not PAY me to watch more.
It's clear the filmmakers think they are very very funny. Trust me when I say that it's not the CHARACTER I'm talking about. He's supposed to be deluded. But I am speaking about everyone in front of and behind the camera. They all have the same problem.
I feel sad for the one or two cameo appearances I did sort-of recognize, as well for the 15-20 or so other supposedly name-worthy people who appear in the film for no particular reason. Am I supposed to know who these people are?
I like shocking comedy. I loved the Aristocrats (joke category and the film about it). So it's not like I'm a prude.
But the cliché of the pathetic sibling of a famous person has been over-done. And these people are not real creative with the insults, relying instead on typical high school profanity.
In the end, the film boasts that this is to be continued. The audience I saw this with found that to be the only laugh-out-loud line in the bunch, because there's no chance of that happening. But I guess the joke's on us, because if there really are nearly 70 minutes of yet-to-be-repackaged footage from the feature, there could be two or three more shorts. Not that we'll be seeing any of them.
