Dreadfully Boring

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Unemployed filmmaker does to 68 year old food delivery man exactly what fake psychics and alien abduction insurance sales people do to Leon, but worse under guise of helping him. Man you have got to feel bad for the poor unemployed filmmaker sipping coffee on on his glass enclosed balcony on the beach somewhere in southern California. Leon did not ask for his help but must have expected when it was offered. But all he got is another douche exploiting him. Another 20 something walking around telling everyone how stupid they are while giving the impression they are helping. I don't believe psychics are real and they are evil people making a buck off of people in need just like this jack ass. Don't watch this self indulgent look at how great I'm for helping this poor stupid old man. Physics suck, useless insurance sales people suck, and you suck. If you really want to help people like double your tip next time he comes with food. What you don't do is offer help and do nothing but show how tough his life and leave him used once again

SPOILER alert:I really liked where this was going but got pretty bummed out at the end.You made it a central theme that you were rescuing Leroy from the grasp of fakers and scammers. All the while, this documentary (with so much potential) ended by pulling the biggest scam of the film - pretend to be a French painter. This time around the victims were obviously the young employed citizens of Los Angeles who were too stupid to research the guy.What did Leroy learn from scamming I would ask? With a bit more training Leroy could find his own unique style.What could have been.....Hope to see more of your work. Sincerely- Frank

I was pretty stunned to see the other reviews here working from the premise that this was in fact a genuine documentary. While the people and beliefs mocked in the film are often far-fetched, none more so than this movie itself. That anyone would believe this is real is as laughable as anything LeRoy ever believed, perhaps more so. Sadly, it wasn't just the other two reviewers who got it wrong. Reviews from CBS to Huffington Post reviewed this film with the same flawed and naive premise. In a brief search only the LA Times managed to see through the inauthenticity of the film. Without examining the claims mocked in the 'documentary' we can see that the film itself is a trap for well-meaning but gullible people looking to gain kinship and identity by confirming their biases with any information that does so, no matter how ridiculous. Team Lazy Skeptic is now every bit as irrational and easily manipulated as Team Tinfoil Hat. The irony that a movie highlighting gullibility has itself duped so many of the gullible is either completely genius on Blake Freeman's part, or completely disheartening as a portrayal of how gullibility, certainty and self-righteousness are often simultaneously present in our culture. But since Freeman hasn't called out the gullible fans of his half- witted circus of debunking, it is probably the case that even he doesn't see how ironic it all is. I look forward to seeing this as a Friday Night movie in the near future, right after 'Ow My Balls!'.

I thought this movie was going to be a lot like Religulous (which I did like) but it was definitely more... theatrical? Meaning there were a lot of moving/sentimental moments that I did not expect. It deals with paranormal, crop circles, aliens, ghosts (not explored very well though), voodoo, God, doomsday, etc.I learned to love each of these special characters and I think Blake Freeman takes the viewer on a fun, silly, random, and meaningful journey. It brought a lot of new perspective to me on how we live our lives. I know, this is very strange commentary for this particular movie but when you see, you'll understand why.Any criticisms would be for the cinematography I guess. It's sometimes guerrilla style shooting, which is understandable, but in a lot of places it doesn't seem to flow too easily or transition well. It's kind of like those adventures on Jackass. It often switches from home-video style to theatrical style which can be kind of confusing, but I took it for the better because it KEPT my attention. It's VERY EASY to say I was never bored or looking at my phone. I cared about where the characters went and what happened to them.Definitely something I enjoyed and would recommend.
