Such a frustrating disappointment

It is a performances centric movie

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's an "8" for what it is, earning an extra point for being too original at the time. It's a mockumentary ala "Spinal Tap" and "Best in Show" which, frankly, are better, but this stands on its own. Following a second-rate private dick in LA, it jumps the "fourth wall", and incorporates the film crew, adding to the fun. One of the best things about it is its layers of droll that I suspect will not unfold until I see it again.Having been weaned on Cristopher Guest's best (Tap, Waiting, Best, et al), and the TV hit "The Office", one thing this mockumentary has that it probably shouldn't have had... was a soundtrack. But, it was an ABC pilot order, and without any backup like a borrowed British TV success (The Office), that was unavoidable at the time. The soundtrack's not bad, but it does detract.It's a fun attack on that line that separates Reality and the silly joke called life.

I love this flick. I went to a test screening in L.A. a year or two (?) before its release, had the opportunity to make comments about the film, etc. Was looking forward to it coming out... and then never heard of it again until it came out two years or whatever later on. I must have been the only person in the screening who liked it.Took the wife to it when it came out in theaters, and it still made an impression on me the second time. Sure, it's a bit uneven and takes a while to figure out where it's going, but it's a fun movie with some neat twists and more originality than many other films out there these days.

I was near to enter to the realm of Morpheus, when I got this flickon the cable. At first, I don't want to see this movie because in theguide was advertised like a documentary. Wrong!It is a movie who pretends to be a documentary, but who cares!Because once I started seeing this film, I found it thoughtprovoking, interesting, and overall hilarious. There is a `killer'scene near the end that made me laugh so strong that hurts.Nice acting by one of my favorite actor from TV and movies, greatjob Miguel!

I rented this movie last night without any idea of what it was, but even though it might have been rated as a one star movie, strangely I enjoyed it. It really flip-flopped around a lot and it was hard to keep track of the characters at times, but it was really pretty funny as a satire of P.I. movies. I got to rent it for a dollar, and it was surely worth that price. Miguel Ferrer was great as always. Even if a movie is so so, his acting is always first class.If you are at the video store, and nothing else looks good, try this one.
