Title: Mockumentary or not: It's dull.
Product review: Folks are getting really bent out of shape about the "classification" of this film. Personally, "hybrid documentary" to me, means: mockumentary. The story can be based on real events or have a bunch of ad-libbed lines all it wants, but once you see professional actors playing roles in the film: it's not a documentary!That aside, the movie is dull. The plot is a decent idea, but the set-up takes far too long. And then once we get to the "juicy" part of the story, it's really not all that juicy after all: these two socially awkward characters never stop being awkward. For me, the characters simply came off as shallow and annoying.If you're looking for a good Michael Cera flick, watch "Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist." Looking for a good mockumentary; try "Waiting for Guffman." Looking for a reason to demand 1.5 hours of your life back; this is your movie!
