A creepy 60 year old dude lives in his 50 years old mother's attic, and creates the most advanced robot on earth with the help of some crispy socks. His gorgeous but sweaty 25 years old best friend comes to visit and discovers the robot, Regina. An instant classic! I won't spoil the movie, you got to see it by yourself with some friends and some beer, and find a game to do while you're watching. I can't give more than 2 stars since you got to provide the entertainment by yourself, but I imagine that it could be a good laugh.
It's obviously someone who wanted to tell a story, but had no idea how to do so. Camera work is probably done by one of the little sisters, editing maybe done on a phone, it's hard to tell, everything is too amateurish to be taken seriously, or to be taken like a "real" production.
I can see what they were going for, but... I don't think it's going to redeem anything. So yeah, nothing serious, try to have a laugh (I don't think they took it too seriously either), so no harm there.

Sure, when I sat down to watch this 2020 comedy titled "R. E. G. I. N. A. I Am", which I hadn't even heard about prior to watching it, I can't claim to be harboring much of any expectations to the movie.
But you just know that when the writer, director and lead actor is the one and the same, then you will most likely not be in for a grand cinematic experience. Still, I opted to watch Matt Spease's "R. E. G. I. N. A. I Am" on the notion that the movie had the benefit of the doubt, and who knew, it might just be entertaining.
Well, no it wasn't really entertaining. It was sort of cringeworthy watching this movie movie actually, especially since the writing, acting and whole movie in general just felt like a film class home project.
The acting in the movie was dubious, but at least it looked like the people in the movie were enjoying themselves and having fun filming this movie. But of course, with characters that felt incomplete and dialogue that was just written out to be wooden and monotonous, of course the actors and actresses could do only so much.
As for the contents of the storyline? Well, let's just say that Matt Spease tried. I wasn't impressed by what I witnessed on the movie, yet I managed to endure the movie up to just having 30 minutes left to watch. Then I had too much and gave up, as it was clear that the movie was going to proceed out the same very monotonous path it had been going down all up to that point.
Hats off to the people involved here for trying, but this movie was a swing and a miss for me. I am rating "R. E. G. I. N. A. I Am" a generous two out of ten stars.

Sad when you have to get friends to write raves for your high school level video masquerading as a movie.
One one these reviews said, lots of pretty girls. OK, Hanleigh Baker and Alivea Disney fit the category, but all others are not quite.
The movie looks like it was done for $100.00 with help from neighbors. Lighting is haphazard. Lines are for the most part delivered as in an under-rehearsed high school play, except for Ryan Abbot, who consistently over- acts. One wonders if the DJ, CJ Bernard is wearing a mask so he can later deny involvement in this... thing.
The movie is not even in the "so bad it's cool" category that might get it on Nightmare Theater.
Hanleihg CAN sing, though.
And a shout out to Matt Spease for writing, directing, and starring. A Herculean effort that a larger budget (and some real actors) might have resulted in a decent movie. Hopefully, Matt will continue on to greater things.

Imagine a student film from the early 1970s where the guy promised his friends beer and pizza to act in his film, but only gave them Tab and crackers.
It would still have been filmed and acted better than this.

Just awful in very regard. .. I can't believe this was actually made. .. save yourself some time an just DON"T..!!!
I can guarantee you one thing....in real life, the writer/director/lead actor drives a white windowless van. How does something like this even get "released"? It's literally recorded (not filmed) on a cell phone. The lighting though is the best....direct like 8000k bright white lighting for all shots. If this was done for a 5th grade art class project I would say nice try. But no....adults are in this. (And one creepy van driving dude).

Obviously filmed on cell phones, the story is ridiculous, the free use TikTok soundtrack is lame and the "special effects" are laughable. Spease making himself the leading man surrounded by beautiful women, even if this is a comedy, is nothing more than a narcissist's wet dream.
If only they had actual actors, knew how to frame a shot, could keep the camera in focus and Spease actually realized how ridiculous his frizzed out dyed hair looked, this MIGHT have been good enough for Rifftrax someday...

Regina is hot and can sing. The movie itself is so laughable we laughed a lot. It's really incredible. 😂

This is LITERALLY the best movie I have ever watched. The Shining, Citizen Kane, etc, have nothing on this masterpiece. I won't spoil it for you, but do yourself a favor and watch this GEM!!! It is an "insperation" to us all!
A genius builds the perfect robot. And hilarity ensues. It's funny, entertaining, and with one of the greatest karaoke scenes ever. Beautiful women and lots of fun. Stop reading and go watch it.
Wow! Lapijas is correct. This is a masterpeice.
This movie is so good, it will automatically go to Rifftracks or MST3K, it might be hard to see it before that happens.
