Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
PWNYCNY This movie is hilarious and spoofs the movie industry. This movie depicts movie making as an exercise in pretentiousness. Andy Dick delivers an outstanding performance as the drunk actor who decides to become a sober movie director and in the process of making a movie becomes a drunk again. The movie-making process drives him back to drink which in turns clouds his thinking, leads to bizarre creative choices and produces chaos on the set. Friction quickly develops between the director and the rest of the cast and crew, also with hilarious results. Soon everyone involved in the movie are trying to figure out how to cope with the inebriated director whose conduct becomes increasingly erratic. The point of the movie is not that alcohol abuse is bad but that the movie making is an exercise in self-indulgent behavior and decadence. The director is producing cinematic junk yet the cast and crew stay with the project, even when the director goes missing in action and winds up in rehab. The very goofiness of the story is engaging.
OuthouseProductionsInc In most circles, if you bring up the name of Andy Dick, controversy arises. You either love him or hate him. However, in this dark mockumentary of Hollywood and perhaps himself, he shows his true acting and comedic skills. The film is always catching you off-guard with unexpected twists, surprise cameo appearances with today's top stars, and offending almost every human subgroup known, while taking you down that dark road similar to Spinal Tap, BORAT, or any Christopher Guest movie...it hits true to home and doesn't need to force humor out of already very funny situations. I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves to watch raw, un-sanitized off the wall humor and can laugh at themselves too.
wigsrus Personally, I'd like to know what "Indyfan1983" is referring to in the film "Danny Roane" when he rants about it having "more scat than a scat film and more blood than and stag film (sic)". Maybe I am confused. Besides his comment being grammatically incorrect, just what kind of stag movies is this guy watching where blood is an element? Also, how many scat films does one need to personally watch to be able to make a scat film/"Danny Roane" comparison? What exactly is going on in this movie? What is so bad or horrible? I am an Andy Dick fan and want to see it, but some of these posts are so disjointed. What is the deal? Is it funny or not? God Bless, Susan
ewanmovies I was at SXSW also. I saw both Danny Roane and Bondage. Bondage is a brilliant film that isn't supposed to make you laugh so hard beer comes out your nose. Bondage has very funny moments and doesn't have to resort to the lowest level of comedy known to humankind. Danny Roane is disjointed, fragmented and unapologetically offensive. It is a surreal mess of images, gross humor, & terrible dialog. Yes, there are some rather funny moments. But not enough to ever sit through it again. This time, once may have been too much. On a personal note, Eric Allen Bell is a very nice person. Eric did a fantastic job with his movie(Bondage)and Andy was very funny. The train wreck that followed the screening of Danny Roane was appalling at best.
