Which sounds very important, as does the fact that this is (I believe) the first fictional film that will ostensibly reenact moments from reality TV. But we’ll excuse you if you read the above and thought only, “OMG, Puck! OMG, the peanut butter fight!!!” Produced by Wash Westmoreland (whose Quincinera won the grand prize at Sundance in 2006), Nick Oceano’s first feature is an examination of the birth of reality TV as factory for both new celebrities and cultural attitudes, via the life and early death of Pedro Zamora, AIDS activist and cast member of the Real World San Francisco, The Movie.

Maybe next time someone will actually take a look at Kevin's script before letting him step behind the camera. With some reworking and a polish, this could have been decent. Instead it reeks of a first draft by an immature twentysomething stuck in the '90s I agree with the points made in the review, and with Megan, but this movie does not deserve better than the box office has treated it.

That's $88 to see both parts!). The longer screening is being held at 9am on a weekday, too, so normal working stiffs like me won't be able to see that either.
