01/18/2017 While the film starts off on a decent premise. (Director going to foreign Borat/Soviet esc nation to make movie) It quickly falls apart after the first act. It transitions rather rapidly from a relatively okay comedy to a dark and rather convoluted mess. Plot points end up being unresolved, the filming scene drags on while the psychological effects on characters and their changes are not delved into. The main female love interest is never really explored and just feels like she is there whenever the script needs her, despite her character having by far the most interesting backstory in the movie. This all adds to an ending which feels lazy, unresolved and ultimately and movie which doesn't add up. It's not really worth watching due to the script being so weak. But if the film does have any plus points the performances from MacFadyen and Buring are decent, That however does not fix the flat and lacklustre writing. Rather critical but settling on 1.5 stars. Can't go higher. See more 10/29/2016 rather bland film about a down on his luck film maker given the opportunity to make a epic film about karastan See more 10/18/2016 There's a bit of 'Borat' about this, but with a straight man in the lead role and the craziness all around him. The humour and satire are quite good. See more Read all reviews
