OK this was made on a budget of next to nothing and I don't know who's parents house they were shooting at but that house deserves a credit mentioning!
Past that though this is an entertaining little movie full of inside jokes from Brad's Cinema Snob reviews and recurring characters on the nostalgia critic (yes I mean Santa Chris and Malcom playing the devil!).
If you are reading this review are either already a fan of the Channel Awesome group... or one of the cast in which case HI BRAD! Jokes aside the acting in this movie was good and it was actually well written, it will keep you entertained, the sets are what you'd expect in this kind of movie though but they don't overwhelm the scene.
I had two issues with this movie though.
1. The hard cuts.... they huuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttttt! I get that this is a no budget movie but aside from one hard cut (made for the lovely Sarah!) they gave me whiplash, could have played up the comedic angle a bit or something.
2. Compared to the rest of the cast David was a bit... ummmm well maybe not main role material? I really enjoyed the supporting cast. they were all fun to watch.
I'll admit this was the first time I've actually watched a movie of this sort and I was ready for something REALLY bad, but I was pleasantly surprised, what it lacked in production value it more then made up for in charm and I would recommend it.
8 out of 10 from me. I was entertained from beginning to end which is more then I can say for some 100+ million movies I've seen recently
