    Creative hilarity

    Funny (really funny) and creative and dark and, honestly, totally unexpected. I don't really understand how an action movie written, directed by, and starring only two guys could be this good, but it is. What a fun and unique contribution to the genre. I'll be watching again!

    Nah

    The reviews finding it "brilliant" and "really funny" must be the two who made this movie. Nothing new or funny, not even slightly clever. Skip.

    I am generous with 3 stars!

    On the poster they describe themselves with following words: "they are writers... they are idiots... they're in over their heads...". Sorry guys, I couldn't "set my goose loose" because you were choking me with your underwear "costumes", non-stop talking rubbish, stupid plots and numerous ideas from the infantile minds which will never grow up.

    They wrote themselves nice reviews, and those will be probably the only positive reviews here, unless their parents and relatives sign in! By the way, there is some potential there, but it needs lot of work to come up to the surface!

    For now, stay away from this!

    Loved it!

    Lots of laughs, I bet this was a lot of fun to make too. Oh and David Jacobi? Pr1ck!!

    Crazy, vulgar but insanely funny movie

    Eric Silvera and Sean Kenealy play two old friends, who get together to write a screenplay which gets intercepted and believed to be the basis of a terrorist attack. This is a truly funny movie, you can tell Eric and Sean are good friends in real life, the chemistry between them is fantastic with superb comedic elements going back and forth. This is not a film to invite your Gran to watch on Christmas Day! It is blunt, crass at times and full of hilarious vulgarity...and did I mention it was funny?! It was shot on a shoestring budget went with this and had great fun showing this on screen. If you look at the car scene near the end and say "hey, that's not even a real car!" then this movie may not be for you! This really is one of the funniest films I have seen in a while, if you have even a slightest touch of a warped sense of humour, you will love it too.
