Overrated

Did you people see the same film I saw?

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

What the heck is with the DVD market these days? It seems as if anybody can shoot a movie on video and get it released. This film(er, taped film) is another in the long list of titles flooding the market with zero quality. The kid from American Pie must be having career problems. Otherwise he would be appearing in real films instead of directing and producing his own home made production ala "L.A. D.J." Even worse, this kid must really have an ego, otherwise he would know better than to put his name on this piece of garbage. I mean, really. This thing is really a stinker bomb. It is not funny. It is ridiculous. Gee, how many times can the word "dude" or "bro" be used in 90 minutes? And is farting in somebody's face repeatedly funny? I'll admit, "Dude, where's my car" was funny. But at least that film combined the bathroom humor with at least some intelligence. No wonder this went straight to DVD. It should have stayed off the market. Period.

I am so sorry I rented this piece of garbage tonight. I was warned by the video clerk that it is an alful film and he only ordered ONE copy for his store and so far, has had 10 customers return it demanding their money back. So, it's my fault for going ahead and renting it. It is a shot on video tape and it shows! It also was released direct DVD.. a low budget disaster. The background music was obviously home made on a computer. The directing was beyond bad! The writing was terrible!!! The acting from ALL involved was worse than a porn film. The two main leads say "dude" and "bro" in almost every sentence. The constant farting is very immature. The plot has more holes in it than a slice of swiss cheese. The two lead characters sport sideburns that went out of style when "90210" went off the air years ago. In short, this is to be avoided at all costs! It is a tremendously bad film. And now it's a permanent fixture on Mr. Nicholas' resume! How humiliating! Don't say I didn't warn you!

Just checked out this "little" gem of a comedy film : "LADJ"... Awesome movie and the not the "run of the mill" same old "formula" buddy film story you so often see these days!!!Thomas Ian Nicholas ("Rookie of the Year", "American Pie" fame) was terrific as were all the other cast members... It's what I like (and like to call)- a "great small movie"- more "character driven" with great writing rather than a bunch of mindless violence and big-budget special effects.... This movie gets my vote for becoming the next big sleeper hit ( a la "My Big Fat Greek Wedding") Check it out..... ASAP!!!!!

Got a chance to see this flick at the Vail Film Fastival while I was in the States. Nearly fell off my chair a couple of times. The guy that played Kevin in the American Pie movies is in it. (Was he the guy from Rookie of the Year??). Damn funny stuff.Anyway... cool soundtrack, decent performances all round, great story line. It's actually a pretty original story, which is a nice change from the usual re-hash movies we get these days. It's really weird that a bigger studio didn't pick it up.Go see it as soon as possible.
