I recently has an opportunity to see a movie that has been in production hell for several years:
It's very silly.
But it is filled with actors whom I guarantee you'll think "OH that's THAT guy" (or girl) for most of the movie.
It has a simple plot and it is outrageous but it is supposed to be.
This movie is, in no way, high cinema nor is it a masterpiece worthy of critical acclaim.
What it is, though, is a film that is written and directed and acted by people who understand the LARP and reenactment communities.
The film portrays so many aspects of these communities in a way that is amusing and accurate without ridiculing them that I, as someone who has taken part in both LARP and reenactment events, was thoroughly amused.
I look forward to owning a copy of this film so I can watch it with my friends over and over again.
