Wish I would've never watched this..


The youtube video will never be the same. This film sucked so much and came off as a mockumentary, a bad one at that, and it wasn't even funny. The cursing was so forced - just a really fake and crummy attempt of a documentary.

Yeah it was a bit forced and boring, I agree. There's just not a lot to say about this guy. Hes just someone who had a bad day & cursed on film, theres nothing interesting to say about him beyond that. Would have made a much better short film, a feature length just doesnt work here...

Only the filming of the commercials was taken over a two week period.

Pretty sure it was not just one bad day.

I don't know if it was forced, so much as thin, but I agree that the story isn't interesting enough. That left me with a very strange feeling that I feel echoed by others here, so I'll try to explain. I felt guilty about being a voyeur. I'd probably have gotten past that if it had been juicier, but that just makes me feel worse because I don't get to feel good about the choice bits. Instead I'm forced to realize that I wished for enough titillation to ignore my conscience which I should have paid attention to much earlier.

Perhaps not ironically, the movie includes a YouTube clip of someone doing something stupid and breaking his back and other clips of people getting hurt. I really try to not watch those videos for perhaps the same reason that I too wish that I'd never watched this movie.

The fact that you don't find this guy interesting..whether that be positive or negative..makes me realize why you didn't like this film.
