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.

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

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