Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
atetoomuchchipotle Downloaded this movie and was surprised at the reviews praising it on this site. Obviously most are fake who give it nearly perfect scores. This is a movie, about a neat idea actually, that turns sour very quickly. Armed with $1,100 and a video camera, Herzlinger spends 30 days trying to penetrate the walls of showbiz flackery so that he can get a date with Drew Barrymore, his lifelong celebrity crush. Along the way, we're expected to find this ''nice Jewish boy'' adorable as he pesters his industry contacts and peeks back at the camera. It becomes apparent that the plot becomes very very boring and it is obvious to the viewer that this movie is really a glimpse into a personality-disordered man's attempt to break into Hollywood.

Jeddah Alviar i have watched the movie yesterday at star world, it's so fantastic and really amazed me. me, as a masscomm graduate of the University of Baguio wished also to document my life though i don't know who would be the persons i'm going to work with cause all of my friends are busy with their projects during times when we were students. i also came to the point that i dreamt of camera all the time focused on me and video all the things i do. but all of those were just dreams. and there you are i saw your movie. it really amazed me, inspired me to pursue what i really wanted though i have to make more money before producing my own production house... as of now, I'm working on a broadcasting network here in the philippines at ABS CBN broadcasting network. hoping someday, i could be a part of you... thank you and hope to here again from you soon.. goodluck to your next movie.
Bob Stein, VisiBone Essential to good storytelling are conflict and climax. Win versus lose is so engaging because life means not knowing whether you'll get what you want. It reaches the heights of living when a long struggle is capped by a moment. This movie works when it delivers both conflict and climax. It's so pleasing to see them delivered in wholly fresh ways. Brian is a filmmaker first and a stalker second. Had to be that order, or you couldn't stand to watch this story.It's great the way he involves his friends. It's great to hear about the threads in his life with her name on them. Here is someone committed to doing something new and unconventional. He bends and breaks rules (maybe laws too) with refreshing self-honesty. You want to see him win. There's no escaping the conflict. This movie makes you wonder, and you have to know: Does he get the date? The best moment is pre-climactic. It sneaks up on you but it's inescapable. I've never seen it done so subtle and so natural. The answer to the conflict comes without words, without action, with hardly motion or sound at all. Watch for it. In his face. And then tell me who shouldn't count their lives in moments like that. Moments when you find out whether you get what you want.
movieman_kev Brian Herzlinger is a normal Joe trying to 'get a date with Drew Barrymore' in 30 days in this cloying 'Documentary'. Whether this is a stalker's attempt to desperately get a date with a actress he adores, or a clever ploy to jump start some sort of career for Herzlinger (I'm thinking more the latter), the fact remains that whichever it is, te film is manipulative at best and slightly alarming at worst. And if it WERE the former, rather then the latter, all the likability of Brian flies out the window as no matter how charismatic a stalker may be, the fact remains that they ARE in fact stalking someone. And if this movie inspires even one REAL stalker (and as I said before this film is a sham and a PR ploy), but if the film inspires a REAL stalker that would be quite a shame indeed. I can't recommend this film on entertainment ground, I can't recommend it on documentary grounds, and I certainly can't recommend it on ethical grounds.My Grade: D
