Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

xjeff-250-639054 Others have already explained the plot so I won't go into that here. Let's just say that Director's Cut has a lot more layers than you might expect. The underlying cop drama is beautifully shot and Herbie's director's commentary is very funny.There are numerous throw-away one-liners and inside jokes and some of the special effects will have you laughing out loud.The car chase near the end was spectacular!

adwood42 Not a cookie cutter formulaic film. I thought it was really well done. Definitely worth watching. Incredibly original.

vulpes972 Full disclosure I was part of the crowd funding for this movie. So understand also that the anticipation has been building for a very long time. Over the years we have been hearing how good the movie turned out but for a large part of us we have only just now got to see the final product. If I wasn't part of the crowd funding for this movie I would have still loved it. It had me laughing the whole way through. So often when trying to make a movie like this it comes across as trying too hard, however in this I think they managed to hit the right balance. Even though knowing so much about this movie going in didn't spoil it for us, I'm still going to give it some time before discussing some of the finer details. I will say this, you can't make a movie like this without an incredible group of talented people. Missi Pyle was simply phenomenal as always ;). I can't wait to watch this over and over again.

ejonconrad Full disclosure: I contributed enough to the crowdfunding site to get invited to the premiere and meet Penn and Teller, so I would have enjoyed the experience even if the movie had been terrible. Luckily, it wasn't.The plot is pretty original. It's about - surprise - a crowd funded movie. One particular contributor - Herby Blount, played by Penn - donates enough money to hang out on the set and even film with his own hand-held camera. It turns out he's obsessed with Missi Pyle, who, like all the actors, plays herself. He uses his footage together with raw footage he steals from the movie to cobble together his own version of the movie, in which he's the hero. What we're supposedly watching is the director's cut of *that* movie, with his commentary. How meta is that? The result is something of a cross between a classic "movie within a movie" and a "found footage" documentary.It's really two separate movies. They create a good part of the movie "Knocked Off", a low budget but completely credible slasher/horror movie, and they also create Herby's amateurish additions and edits. During the Q&A, they claimed all of "his" editing and special effects were done with free software that a crazy person really could use.The acting is quite good. The main characters in the "movie" are Missi Pyle and Harry Hamlin. She in particular does a good job of playing both her role and herself playing her role.Of course, the whole thing is narrated via Herby's (Penn's) "director's commentary", and that's where all the humor comes in - and it is very funny.All in all, a quite enjoyable movie.
