A documentary of opportunity, a reality show of some kind. It gets a bit messy due to unplanned nature of this whole endeavor. Directors did their best arranging the footage in chapters, like 'Casting', 'Preproduction", etc., but a lot of would be interesting footage is missing. For one, I am left curious how Weinstein noticed Duffy in the first place. Interesting glimpses into the kitchen of Hollywood, and the warm feeling when egomaniac bully gets put in the corner.

What a fucking asshole. Duffy's like all the annoying faux-Irish Pride douches who consider the Boondocks Saints the greatest film of all time combined then multiplied by at least fifty. I literally cannot believe that people like this exist and people will praise you for it. Two redeeming factors: He's never going to get a true career started and it's nowhere near as bad as the Boondocks Saints films. The documentary is boring, but I'd rather see this forever than another one of his films.

Yeah, this is about how I pictured Duffy. Actually, kind of exactly. Spooky. Very basic documentary work here, but I'm always glad to see assholes exposed for who they are.

Being an asshole : annoying. Being an asshole while being filmed and allowing the world to see your rise to semi-fame only to blow it all by simply being what you are : hilarious.

This film highlights my frustrations with most American documentaries;it doesn't reveal what was truly interesting and important.Duffy was naive and talked a lot of shit, but that's true of most first-time writers and directors, too.Duffy was also rude and arrogant, but that describes a lot of successful people in Hollywood and business.So what was the exact action or set of events that hurt him so much?Him being an asshole to his music co-managers in no way alters his relationship with Miramax.

Since this doc was so hard to find my expectations upon viewing were pretty high and I was sort of disappointed. Don't get me wrong, it was an alright documentary about some asshole who made a sort of alright movie and managed to piss off EVERYONE in the movie industry in the process.

Duffy is an incredibly uninteresting person and insufferable to watch. He's an obese, alcoholic, cigarette addicted moron who doesn't know when to shut up. Did I mention he is fat? Jesus, hit the gym buddy. And shave the sick neck beard while you're at it. The doc fails to address the thing I wanted to know the most: how did Weinstein find out about him? Literally no mention of this. I give it some points for showing them all fail at the end, which is strangely satisfying.

How do you squander an opportunity where Hollywood gives you the keys to the kingdom? Well you do it in the most retarded way possible if your name is Troy Duffy. Everyone involved in Boondock Saints has a repulsive personality right down to the big talent agents. This is an introspective look into Hollywood "networking" and the ugly business side of things. It's also an important lesson as to why people don't make it, it's because their egos explode.

Bad human being, okay documentary. I have to admit, I did enjoy rooting for Duffy's eventual, and well deserved, failure.

Hollywood has an interesting quality that it inflates people to be larger than life. I don't think Troy Duffy needed Hollywood to feel inflated. 'Overnight' shows what happens when someone lets that all get to his head. From the opening moments, Duffy is talking about busting down the doors of Hollywood and changing the way things are done. You almost buy into it as much as he does. That is until you see him burn bridge after bridge until he's all alone on an island bouncing outside of a bar.

Troy Duffy is scum, but the filmmakers were also acting out of a longstanding grudge. It's a well-done documentary and the filmmakers have a right to be angry, but their bias can't be ignored.

The man himself makes this movie less watchable. It is a well made focused documentary, but Duffy is plain and simply a moron. He has delusions of grandeur about his small budget independent film that seems to make him think he is the most important thing in the industry.

It's impossible to stop watching. This is especially impressive for a doc that skips some very important details ,all of them pertinent to Duffy's relationship to Weinstein.

good

What an asshole! Who cares this guy made one of the greatest movies in the past decade, he singlehandedly killed his career showing all of America what a prick he is even by the entertainment industry standards. Pour a forty for Boondock Saints 2, it ain't ever being made after pulling this shit.

Troy Duffy and his posse are all insufferable. The subject is great, but too unlikeable for me to enjoy the film. I actually saw this before I saw Boondock Saints. Can you imagine? All of that hype for your crappy indie film, and a movie released about what an asshole you are gets better reviews and generates more interest. How fucking funny, and I couldn't think of a bigger asshole for it to happen to.

The content saves this from being an awful film. Duffy isn't a good filmmaker, but neither are his "friends".

A great portrait of a guy who had nearly everything a director could want in making his first film, and managed to outstrip light with the speed in which he pissed away all of his goodwill.

If you've ever wondered why the Boondock Saints' writer/director hasn't made anything since and has taken almost a decade to make a sequel to his original film than this documentary explains it in spades. Troy Duffy can be seen as honestly a nice enough guy to hang around with but it quickly becomes clear that he is far too immature to handle power. It's downright laughable as he attempts to threaten Harvey Weinstein, one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.

The inspiring story of a consummate artist who fought the powers that be to create an enduring work that speaks to a whole generation... Just kidding, Troy Duffy's a douche, and his movie sucks.

Does a great job of showing exactly why this guy hasn't worked again in the industry, and why he doesn't deserve to work again. But the movie has horrible sense of time and it begins to get really repetitive, just constantly showing how arrogant and abrasive Duffy is, 2/3 of the way through the only interesting bits come from text explaining what happens during gaps in the footage. There's only so much of Duffy and his friends I can take, but it was still interesting.

This isn't a particularly good documentary in a technical sort of way, but it's interesting to see how much of an asshole this guys is. What a jackass!
