Title: Lowering the bar for all camcorder home movies...
Review: ... before camcorders, the cost of film stock and processing necessitated that filmmakers raise money (or at least have some of their own funds), which imposed a modicum of accountability as to what sort of "films" got produced. Ostensibly, if you couldn't convince an investor or family member that your movie should be made, it generally didn't. Unfortunately, with camcorders available now for just a few hundred bucks, all sorts of amatuers are trying to make "films" out of this home video medium. Giving a rhesus monkey a scalpel does not qualify the simian to conduct brain surgery. So why is it that every bozo with a camcorder suddenly think's they're qualified to create a filmed drama?
Is the review positive or negative?
