Pain in the ass

Saw this at Sunshine over the weekend. It was all right. Though when the filmmaker muses in V/O: "Am I making too big a deal out of this?" The answer is YES!!!! It all felt a little contrived. Esp when the old guy showed up at the screening, doing what is now his schtick. I actually felt slightly embarrassed for the guy.
That's probably the problem here. Those old video outtakes were something real and honest and very funny. Now it's an act. It's phony.
And the thing is, there some things in the movie that could have been pursued and made it much more interesting.
When the filmmaker finds the guy and all the guy wants to talk about is where the country is headed, I felt it was very telling: Old guy obsessed with issues relating to our Constitution. Young filmmaker obsessed with some dumb video on YouTube...
