About this movie

From the writer-director of Napoleon Dynamite comes another quirky comedy about growing up. Benjamin (Michael Angarano), home-schooled by his eccentric mother (Jennifer Coolidge), is a loner whose passion for writing leads him on a journey as his story first gets ripped off by a legendary fantasy novelist, Ronald Chevalier (Jemaine Clement), and then is adapted into a disastrous movie by the small town's most prolific homespun filmmaker.

Ratings and reviews

I really really wanted to like this film... but it just felt like a therapy video to induce awkwardness. The stuff was just too random when compared to Napoleon and Nacho. Like him shooting his mum in the chest with a dart covered in poop and rat poison... I liked the sci-fi movie sections they were funny (especially loved the various mechanised deers) but the rest of the film just wasn’t fun.

I watched this so many times. The characters are so funny. Made me lulz

Such an unusual comedy, purposefully naff at points which makes it even better.
