Synopsis "Terrific! Funny! Inspiring! Two Very Big Thumbs Up." -Roger Ebert & THE MOVIES The hit of the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, American Movie is the hilarious and intense story of one man's obsession to make movies. Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, is a long way from Hollywood, but Mark Borchardt has a dream. Armed with a driving ambition and nothing to lose, the fast talking Borchardt enlists friends, local thespians and unwilling family members to help him finish his no-budget horror film, Coven. The camera doesn't flinch as it captures every emotional crisis and financial pitfall in his two-year odyssey. What emerges is a bizarre, yet surprisingly heartfelt, documentary portrait of a true American character. Welcome to the real Real World.

Customer Review Better than most American Movies - 4.5 out of 5  (11/14/2000) This film was really cool, it was hilariously funny though I did feel a bit guilty as they were real people. Still after a while you don't care. The main guy was so passionate about the movies he made and clearly obsessed with making them it made me laugh my head of when they were really bad. It's good to know that somewhere out there people are struggling to make crap films, it's a wonder they all don't end up working for Hollywood studios. Anyway the DVD was also good, especially being able to   more >>
