This criminally underwatched mess is held aloft by Jared Hess’ quirky sensibility, John Heder’s disarmingly sincere performance, and Jack Black’s reliably goofy presence — making it strangely compelling despite its B-movie flaws.
Sariah Hopkin and Clint Pulver round things out as surprisingly likeable newcomers. The sheer commitment to the dumbest possible premise, and a paper thin script, renders it too earnest to ever feel cynical.
This is the kind of movie that makes you completely certain you could make a movie too.
