Reboot Camp

I stumbled across the trailer to this on my friend's Facebook page. The trailer was funny and the rental was only $4 so I decided to rent it. Reboot Camp was not what I expected. It's a mockumentary. I DO NOT like mockumentaries. Had I read the post after watching the trailer, I would've known and would not have rented it. That being said, it was not bad at all. I found myself laughing a lot. Ed Begley Jr. From Bless This Mess and Lindsey Shaw from Pretty Little Liars really stood out. Begley's deadpan face cracked me up every time he was on the screen and Shaw's portrayal of ditzy Maisey was spot on. I give this movie 7 1/2 stars because I just don't like mockumentaries but there are no half stars so I'm rounding up to 8. There are enough trolls out there giving movies 1 star for no reason at all.

All it takes for enlightenment is "Stand on a sofa" I mean come on. Animal yoga!! I was chuckling throughout this film. It's tackling some real issues namely the danger of listening to so called gurus and their supposedly enlightened 'ahem' wisdom. It's really funny if you get the subversion and tongue in cheek jab at society. Come experience the rebirt.

Successfully mocks and addresses why people join self help groups with an ensemble cast of fictional and real people; actors, reality stars and even a porn star. Christopher Guest would approve.

Clever premise, well acted, with some very funny moments. There are a few interesting cameos - Ja Rule, Eric Roberts, and Chaz Bono who are all really fun! However, the story was a little slow and it took a little too long to get from funny moment to funny moment. I think this would work really well as a sitcom series rather than a full length feature film. Break it up into 30 minute episodes with each episode focusing on one character's story There are many quirky characters here and a lot of interesting relationships that could be further developed and would sustain a season of sitcom episodes. It was a bit draggy as a feature film, but I recommend repackaging it and redeveloping it as a sitcom series on Netflix or Hulu.

This is as if the losers from Best In Show had mental breakdowns and went to a week long retreat to lick their wounds. And once they got there they encountered half the Spinal Tap crew.
