Title: Nowhere near as funny as it wants to be
Product review: 2.3 starsThis is indeed a decent effort for the young age of the filmmakers, but it's still not very good. The script has moments but is often pointlessly crude just for shock value, the acting is weak all around, and the plot goes all over the place for no special reason.The camera is moved well and there's hints of quality to come from the writer/director/star in some scenes, but he ain't there yet and this got boring far too fast for a film just trying to be fun. Too serious to be fun at points and too stupid to be serious when it wants to be, Bindlestiff just feels like a film school project that somehow got released on dvd when it should be on youtube.Kevin Smith owes us a couple bucks. He might think crude and lewd is enough to make a flick work, but it ain't. Won't be trusting his "taste" in films again.
