Night of the Coconut

The film is just bad. It is hard to say more than that, particularly as I liked his reviews. Technically the film is bad in every sense, the lighting, cinematography, sound, blocking, everything is either bland or badly done.

The acting is also incredibly bad and cheesy. The crossovers are so badly acted as to be painful. It is cringe at its worse. The writing and directing are straight up bad to the point where it is baffling, particularly given Willems' charm and skill as an essayist.

The old nostalgia critic films are probably technically worse and relied to much on parody, but this just feels lacking in ever regard. It feels like it just lacks any heart.

He seems like a nice guy so I'm glad this exists and he got to make his passion project. Its clear his strength is as critic and not a creative.
