Viewer Reviews
This mockumentary is pure cheese, and even without having read these reviews to find out the real "secret" of this film, its obvious this film was a pure hoax... but it's a fun hoax. Initially the film feels like they are painfully trying to stretch out minimal footage and interviews with Night, but as the mock-doc goes on, it's actually fairly fun stuff, in a cheesy X-files sortof way.
The highlight for me was the interview with Night, about midway through, featuring Philly "velveta" cheese steaks and shooting pool. Night really comes across as a down to earth, decent guy, and you can't help but think that the "buried secret" of this film is that Night is secretly laughing along at all of the footage.
Three stars for a somewhat clever concept, good corny fun, and for the sadly brief interview time with Night.
