You get to spend nearly ninety minutes with people you wouldn't want to spend five minutes with in real life.

Gander at the film freaks! Look how nerdy/obssessive they are! It's probably an accurate representation of them, but it still amounts to a big "so what." If you take something to a ridiculous extreme, of course you'll get warped results. The most interesting aspect of the doc was learning what needs acute cinephilia serves for these people. Still, I'm pretty certain they could have found five equally avid cinema-goers who aren't quite so grotesque. But who would watch?

These obsessive characters are refreshingly self-aware of their abnormality but we don't get a whole lot of insight into why they are so obsessed.

Jeez, what a buncha kooks. All I really got out of this was that these people had an obsession, and there didn't seem to be anything too specifically about movies in that fact. They could've gone off the deep end about anything--films just happened to be their catalyst. It was like watching a bunch of junkies sitting around talking at a halfway house. Only for a few moments--when Jack was talking about movie dreams, for example--did I feel these people had any real love for what they were doing.

What a great bunch of characters. The movie is quite entertaining, never gets repetitive, and keeps it short (although the 45 minutes of deleted scenes on the DVD are well worth watching). The low-budget look is the biggest flaw, but makes for a really amusing end credits sequence: a montage of the film's subjects all commenting on the filmmakers' bad decision to shoot on video.
