North Hollywood

I liked the way it was filmed - the composition and even the lens they used but the story felt unfinished. I think the film should have been longer or have a better ending. I wanted to see the main character make a part and get sponsored or win a contest and see his dad waiting for him to bring home the money and the trophy. The ending was just not satisfactory. The dialogue's alright. The friendship between the three friends was portrayed realistically. That's one thing that was done right in this film. As I mentioned before, the one thing that made this film enjoyable was the cinematography. That wide lens look is what kept me from looking away. I would love to see more films shot with a wide lens.

Overall, the film was just alright. I think if Illegal Civ keeps making more films they might be on to something.

This is a story that shows how friendships are challenged as times change and how faith is summoned and persevered when the ones you love most doubt you.

This is basically a festival piece.

Character development of "follow your dream" while making mistakes on the way seems like the standard festival category.

I find it very average. Comedy was lacking, drama was lacking. Vince Vaughn got his paycheck. Ryder McLaughlin was fairly good.

There just isn't anything exceptional about this movie.

How could someone honestly rate this film a 10. I don't know what the hell everyone else was watching but this film was straight boring. Someone on here even said it's the greatest movie ever and that they drove two hours to see it LMAO ya right buddy! This film just floats along and nothing really happens. It was pretty much pointless. 5 stars.

Overall I thought the movie was solid, if you like Illegal Civ and you have watched some of their videos before than you'll appreciate what this movie is. But this movie was all over the place, there was multiple stories I felt with not enough detail to them and some of the actors lines felt very pushed ahead instead of having time for the actors to fully grow. The one thing that I could compare this to is Illegal Civ Summer 17, it felt like a longer movie version of that series.
