This movie certainly isn't for everyone, but if you end up connecting with it, even a little, you're going to fall head over heels in love.
It takes some big swings right out of the gate that could immediately put some people off (there's a psychedelic reenactment of a Bigfoot sex act within the first 10 minutes, and no I'm not kidding), so if your pearls are easily clutched, I can tell you right now this one's not for you. But for those who either enjoy or can make it past the surface-level absurdity, there's a genuinely heartfelt story waiting for you on the other side.
The seams of its low budget show every now and then, but nothing so massive it ruins the experience. It helps that this is a mockumentary (supposedly made by a single guy who, by his own admission, seems to have barely passed film school), so it's easier to forgive here than if it had been done more traditionally. Not every low-budget movie can be a mockumentary, obviously, but it clearly worked in this case as an example of filmmakers finding a creative way around, if not outright embracing, their limitations.
Overall, if you go in with an open mind that's ready to laugh (and maybe even cry), you'll be rewarded with a movie that is so much smarter, big-hearted, and crowd pleasing than you might expect.
