It goes undiscussed because the humor goes over the heads of the viewing public. I love the film, it's brilliant in the vein of the Harvard Lampoon.

This movie is what art is all about.....making you think beyond the what you are seeing on the screen.....it was funny, smart and some decent acting.
The reason why its not discussed, Simple....its a canadain film, this movie will be lost in the mainstream, but it will be a gem to the ppl in the underground, along with other canadain gems like "johnny shortwave"

"the horror, thr horror"

I enjoyed the film, but it didn't seem to 'catch on' with the general public.

Not really funny enough as a standard "mockumentary", kept waiting for real zingers. Have to go over the top sometimes to get the subtler stuff noticed in these kind of flicks.
