I thought it was funny the whole way through,it had many super memorable moments of hilarity. It stuck well to its genre of mockumentary, by being at least close to believable almost the whole time with some pretty far-fetched moments. I love the all star cast,amazing to see so many funny people in one movie working so well together. Dax Shepard's brand of comedy is unique and top notch. It seems that much thought, love, and effort was put into this movie. Its an offbeat comedy with a kind of awkward situational feel, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I loved it. I hope to see more movies with this humor, wit, and direction from Dax in the future.

The plot: A comedian decides to quit making comedies and, instead, become an international martial arts superstar, despite being thoroughly incompetent.There are some funny moments in this movie, but most of them involve the co-stars, rather than the leads. I can see what they were intending, but I'm not really sure that it worked. Much of the movie is meant to be stupid or intentionally bad, which I guess works, but it fails to be funny. The execution just isn't all that great. I think the biggest problem is that they just couldn't find a balance between the self-conscious, ironic, intentionally bad scenes and the funny scenes.It's not horrible, but it's a bit uneven, and there are parts that are a bit slow and boring. It's also got lots of warmed-over Internet memes, like Chuck Norris references, ironic homophobia, ironic homoeroticism, and an ironic appreciation of bad B movies. If you still laugh at Chuck Norris jokes, five years after most of the Internet got tired of them, then this is the movie for you. If you can't imagine living your life without copious amounts of irony, this is the movie for you. If you're a bit tired of all this stuff, then I'd advise you just watch a Christopher Guest mockumentary.

The movie tries and breaks down the wall between itself and the viewer. While I haven't watched "I'm still here" yet, I'm sure it will be more subtle and better approach to "fake-behind-the-scenes" movie/documentary, than this was. But it's not for lack of trying or finding some stars to play in your movie (or "names"). Most of them only appear for a brief segment of course.The thing that will make or break the film for you, is if you can laugh at the silly scenario or not. I wanted to, but I just couldn't. Dax Sheppard seems like a cool guy (on late night/TV shows where he appears), but that doesn't change the fact, that for all his effort, he just can't pull this off.A really superb (spoof?) making of a star is "Exit through the gift shop". Watch this and see how this sort of movies should be done and you'll understand

this film threw me a curve ball, i had no idea what to expect when i watched this. it has some familiar names and it was sorta interesting. its more like a documentary type of film with the 3rd party sorta thing. its clearly low budget and it was not the worst thing to watch yet i know you can see something else that might not be a big wast of your time like this film is. you most likely only herd of this film if you keep an eye out for new DVD's coming out and thats how i found it. i had a few laughs here and there and don't expect much from this and you will be OK knowing that its a wast of time. watch only when your bored and given up hope.
