Sure, this was made on a shoe-string budget, but it has the energy and quirkiness you have to love when you're sick of the formula Hollywood movies and want something different. The kind of story you don't know where it'll take you next. The kind that doesn't feel bound to make money for big investors.
There's no doubt that talented people made it, just not wealthy people. In some ways, the lack of budget helped to make it work because it suspended your disbelief by not being too slick.
If you like a slick big-budget look, then this definitely isn't for you. There weren't as many takes as the director and actors would've like, but it works for what it is, a unique, fun story with interesting characters.
