I recently heard about this movie and had to give it a watch as I am familiar with one of the leads through online photography tutorials.
I was actualy pleasantly suprised, the movie had feel good moments drama and comedy, the jokes were quite adult so not family orientated by any means, but it did make me smile quite a few times, and I actually enjoyed watching it.
I gave it 6/10 and hope there is more to come in the future.

Charming
pbawoodruff9 July 2018
With a charming twist on the well-trodden theme of aspiring actors in Hollywood, this film provides a lively vehicle for its cast to show their stuff. Alternately wacky and wonderful, the story unfolds with enough twists to keep us guessing. Serge Ramelli and Jessica Morris effectively portray sympathetic characters whose near-prudishness contrasts with the litany of adolescent jokes scattered liberally throughout. Try it as a feel-good "date" movie and enjoy.
Fun and Funny Indie Movie Despite Vulgar Language
williamscoggin7 July 2018
This was a surprisingly good movie that I enjoyed despite its incessant and mostly unnecessary vulgarity. Some of the humor was really funny, and some was so wacko that it was ... yes, really funny. Also, the movie had heart, charm, and you had to pull for the motley group making the movie. If you can stand all the F-bombs, relax and enjoy the movie.
Wow, fantastic movie!

Great movie!

This movie is funny and charming. Yes, the characters speak foul language sometimes but this is how the real people these characters represent would speak in real life. These characters are real while the situations they find themselves in the movie are not. This is what a good comedy is all about.
Kudos to the team and to Serge Ramelli as the prime character. He is amazing!
Very good film!

Weirdly, the fake reviews aren't wrong
VinnieRattolle13 May 2019
Frenchman Jacques has been obsessed with Hollywood since childhood. Now homeless in America but living the dream, he gets cast as an extra alongside struggling actress Peach, and the sparks immediately fly. Before long, Jacques crosses paths with a highly acclaimed but suicidal screenwriter. as well as a group of rejects who've given up all hope of breaking into the film industry. With exuberant enthusiasm, Jacques plays ringmaster and they quickly go to work making their own independent movie.
There are currently 117 other IMDb reviews, most of which suspiciously consist of about two lines and a perfect 10 rating. That sends up a red flag, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it's ACTUALLY a charming, feel-good movie. The characters are all lovable (or intentionally loathsome), there's a steady pace (despite its slightly overlong length), the acting is pretty solid across the board, and there are plenty of hilarious moments and a few unexpected twists. The only criticism I can muster is that if feels a tad cliched at times (particularly a montage), but given the nature of the La La Land setting and the story, that's probably unavoidable. Another reviewer griped about crude language, but it's set in Hollywood, after all (and I feel like I've been seeing WAY more f-bombs being dropped in reputable publications lately than I heard in this movie!).
The film rests squarely on the shoulders of Serge Ramelli (who also produced) and he is just delightful as Jacques. He's not your standard romantic lead, but he oozes charm and has a giddy enthusiasm which is perfect for the character. Leading lady Jessica Morris has been languishing in soap operas and b-movie horror for years, which is a shame because this movie showcases her star potential. In the hands of a lesser actress, the love story could have come across as really hokey, and I'm guessing her own experiences with the grueling casting process is what made her emotional vulnerability seem so real. Hari Williams is also a standout as Jacques's wisecracking homeless best friend, delivering his performance as the film's token black guy with absolute gusto.
If you're familiar with the behind-the-scenes insanity of the Hollywood scene, this quirky comedy is worth two hours of your time (including the scenes that play through and after the end credits!). And it just might give a glimmer of hope to some of those similarly hopeless individuals who've been struggling to make it.
