Sep 15, 2021 There were some funny moments. I like movies that involve seeing the makings of a movie. But the plot was a bit of a disaster and boring. See more Sep 3, 2012 Decent film about an insane movie production. See more Dec 22, 2009 I didn't find the cast very appealing, it's a so so mock of movie making. Some very slow stretches big the film down, but it does have it's moments. See more Jun 19, 2008 satirical look at the canadian cinema's relationship with the united states as well as the relationship between independent and studio movies.
