Critic Reviews
Near-perfect editing, and cleverly poignant dialogue.
A revealing, intimate, quirky and generous portrait of nothing less than the American Dream.
Of all the many documentaries that take you along on a movie shoot, one of my all-time favorites is this delightfully scrappy, sometimes poignant, often hilarious show.
This thorough original is a wall-to-wall exercise in gallows humor, a movie whose full funny/sad effect doesn't hit until you reflect upon the subject and the cast of characters.
But this is pretty honest and true filmmaking, nonetheless; try as you might, you can't detect the leer of the satirist.
Brilliant, mind-boggling.
Frequently hilarious, if overlong.
It's never entirely clear whether Borchardt is also an object of ridicule for documentarian Chris Smith.
