    This movie deserves a lot more attention than it gets. As far as I’m concerned it’s right up there with This is Spinal Tap. Everyone’s on point. Even the smaller roles were perfectly cast. Like Chris Redd as Hunter the Hungry for example. Dude turned in a hilarious and damn near flawless parody of Odd Future era Tyler the Creator.

      It is a shame, it flew right under most people’s radar when it came out! I know I missed it, I didn’t even hear about it until a few years after it came out. And that 6.7 rating is waaay too low, even for the imdb hivemind. It’s at least a 9 in my book.

    My wife and I saw it for the first time last week and we freaking loved it! Absolutely hilarious and got us to laugh out loud numerous times.
