Winnebago Man (2009)
3/10
So much promise

Warning: Spoilers
One of the few documentaries that I have been waiting for since the internet first introduced me to Jack Rebney. After seeing a trailer for the film i like most people couldn't wait to catch a glimpse of the film in its entirety. It starts off perfectly introducing us to the clips that made this man so famous. Then without warning it tanks and just keeps getting worse and worse. Not only does this filmmaker have no idea what he's doing but he actually came close to ruining Jack for me. With no clear direction, rhyme, or reason it becomes 90 minutes of garbage. Every single time I start to get interested in what Jack is about to say he is cut off and asked stupid questions no one wants to hear the answer to. I almost wish this Documentary had never been made well lets not go that far. I wish this Documentary had been made by anybody else then Mr. Steinbauer who has a knack for taking a good thing and just absolutely turning it into a pile of steaming ****. If i owned a time machine i would go back in time not to assassinate Hitler or save the world in anyway, but to make this Documentary myself for the rest of my life i will be wondering what Jack really had to say. His world views and his solutions to the problems we face today instead I have been left even more confused about the Man from the Winnebago commercials then i was from the outtakes. I would never normally trash a film to such degree but i hope all proceeds go to cure Jack glaucoma so he can see Ben well enough to punch him in the mouth for turning what could have been one of the greatest documentaries ever into a joke. With no information learned from this entire project I am amazed this film made it off the cutting room floor. Next time you want to make a Documentary Ben take my advice and produce it and nothing else, don't be on film, don't direct, and don't ruin anything else for me.
