The Deadbeat Club

I was one of the "band members" in the church scene. Tons of fun being involved in the whole production atmosphere, not much fun viewing it downtown (Dallas) at the debut. Terrible acting (myself included), bad editing, and (sorry, Izzy) poor script. The story itself is supposedly based on Israel Luna's personal experience. The problem from my vantage is that he tried WAY too hard to make his point. The dialogue doesn't seem very natural, and at times it seems he's trying to purposefully antagonize those he seems to be trying to win over. Ill-conceived approach, dude. The funniest part for me, though, was cracking jokes and criticising the film during the debut screening only to find out that one of the ones snickering and joking with me was the EXECUTIVE PRODUCER!! Great experience, terrible movie.
