wamesy024 I thought it was funny the whole way through,it had many super memorable moments of hilarity. It stuck well to its genre of mockumentary, by being at least close to believable almost the whole time with some pretty far-fetched moments. I love the all star cast,amazing to see so many funny people in one movie working so well together. Dax Shepard's brand of comedy is unique and top notch. It seems that much thought, love, and effort was put into this movie. Its an offbeat comedy with a kind of awkward situational feel, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea but I loved it. I hope to see more movies with this humor, wit, and direction from Dax in the future.

Matt Kracht The plot: A comedian decides to quit making comedies and, instead, become an international martial arts superstar, despite being thoroughly incompetent.There are some funny moments in this movie, but most of them involve the co-stars, rather than the leads. I can see what they were intending, but I'm not really sure that it worked. Much of the movie is meant to be stupid or intentionally bad, which I guess works, but it fails to be funny. The execution just isn't all that great. I think the biggest problem is that they just couldn't find a balance between the self-conscious, ironic, intentionally bad scenes and the funny scenes.It's not horrible, but it's a bit uneven, and there are parts that are a bit slow and boring. It's also got lots of warmed-over Internet memes, like Chuck Norris references, ironic homophobia, ironic homoeroticism, and an ironic appreciation of bad B movies. If you still laugh at Chuck Norris jokes, five years after most of the Internet got tired of them, then this is the movie for you. If you can't imagine living your life without copious amounts of irony, this is the movie for you. If you're a bit tired of all this stuff, then I'd advise you just watch a Christopher Guest mockumentary.

Joel Nova Without professional training or proper structure for pitching a film, Dax Shepard goes out on a whim to raise his brain child, "Brother's Justice", a Martial-Arts film starring himself, and abandons his career in comedy to dedicate himself to it's production full-time. Surprisingly, Dax recruits long time friend Nate Tuck as his producer and they embark on a quest for funding, a cast, and advertisement in hopes of bringing "Brother's Justice" to the big screen. Dax has such high hopes for the film, he even hires David Palmer, who is also the director of the actual movie, to film its progress as a documentary.Now to be clear, this film is a mockumentary about Dax Shepard making a movie, if you were confused. The Dax portrayed in the movie, struggling to bring his magnum opus to a theater near you, seemed like he also struggled to bring comedy in the film in some areas. Surely there were hilarious moments in the film, as you would expect, but other times Dax was trying too hard to be funny, and even though it is a mockumentary, it seemed a little too dumb at times. However, I did enjoy it very much. The movie was fresh the whole way through, and was pleasantly entertaining and original. Shepard did not slack off in light of the resources available to do the film, but I still feel it had eminent potential to be a gigantic success if a few extra hands were involved in the writing process. Although it wasn't as powerful as prejudged, it wouldn't hurt to take the blindfold off "Brother's Justice" and have a pretty good laugh.

DirkesDiggler I have never disliked Dax Shepherd. His work on Punk'd was funny for what it was, he was great in "Idiocracy" and, from my limited exposure to him on that set, he is a damned nice guy. He has made some bad movies, that isn't in question, but when the checks start being written who among us is really gonna say no? So, knowing that Dax can be quite funny, and reading the synopsis of this film I had decent hopes. This is a mockumentary about Dax trying to launch himself as a martial arts movie star, even though he has no training. We follow him and his producer friend around as they try to get studio interest, attach stars, and get the thing made.The problem is that it isn't that funny. It's funny, but just not very. The problem with making a movie like this is that you have to make it look real while still maintaining comic timing. These two things don't work together easily. This movie is full of overlong scenes, timing that is just slow enough to flatten jokes, and silences that go on too long. These things are a part of this type of film and can work if they are turned into comic beats of their own (look at the work of Chris Guest for how to do this). Sadly they aren't here.What we are left with, instead, is a somewhat funny movie that could have been a VERY funny movie. Dax does have ability, he just needs to take the time to develop it. I wasn't terribly disappointed, because there were some really great moments, fantastic cameos, and truly funny performances, but they aren't enough to get past the flat timing and lifeless direction.
