Flyin' Ryan (2003)
A Terrible Gem of a Movie Filmed In My Hometown
This movie was filmed in and around my hometown of Kelseyville, CA (small farming community with around 4K people). To the points that many of these actors were terrible and had no experience... well, yeah. They went around and wrangled kids from the high school and asked if they wanted to be in a movie, or so my friends in the movie told me. What high schooler would turn down being in a movie? It was a great way to save money, a terrible way to make a movie. Reading through the cast list brought back some nostalgia but that was probably the most entertainment I got from the movie in any serious capacity. It's a great late night movie to drink and laugh at.
All the criticisms from other reviews are completely valid. It's a terrible movie. It's great entertainment. I'll give it 4 stars because someone went out there and made something despite painfully obvious budgetary limitations.
