Complete Rip Off

This move is a complete rip off of another indie movie (Naked Movie) that was made in the early 2000s. The original was about Michael Badulucco (formerly of the practice) and writer/director Sam Kass (seinfeld) trying to fund and shoot their own blockbuster action movie. Along the way, Sam and Michael encounter Hollywood wash outs (Adrian Zamed, David Carradine, Carmen Electra, Wendy from Wonder Years, etc) and Hollywood elite (Andy Dick, Lou Diamond Phillips, Tori Spelling, etc) in a number of different comedic and wild situations. Not only was the original film funnier and more creative, it was also made with about 1/10th of this film's budget.

I hate when people rip off other, lesser known movies in an attempt to produce a "original" idea. This move will get what it deserves when it makes no money.

There's no such thing as an original movie. That has been gone a long time ago. I haven't seen this or the other movie but seriously....there is no way to be original anymore. Deal with it.

What a ridiculous thing to say. You're saying nothing is creative, and while yes there is a ceiling that limits us from being entirely original you can't argue that Pocahontas wasn't more original than Avatar. By your rules we can 100% rip-off everything and justify it by "there's nothing new under the sun". This movie is a Justin Bieber while the original movie is a Radiohead is what the OP is saying. Deal with it.
