True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Unemployed filmmaker does to 68 year old food delivery man exactly what fake psychics and alien abduction insurance sales people do to Leon, but worse under guise of helping him. Man you have got to feel bad for the poor unemployed filmmaker sipping coffee on on his glass enclosed balcony on the beach somewhere in southern California. Leon did not ask for his help but must have expected when it was offered. But all he got is another douche exploiting him. Another 20 something walking around telling everyone how stupid they are while giving the impression they are helping. I don't believe psychics are real and they are evil people making a buck off of people in need just like this jack ass. Don't watch this self indulgent look at how great I'm for helping this poor stupid old man. Physics suck, useless insurance sales people suck, and you suck. If you really want to help people like double your tip next time he comes with food. What you don't do is offer help and do nothing but show how tough his life and leave him used once again

SPOILER alert:I really liked where this was going but got pretty bummed out at the end.You made it a central theme that you were rescuing Leroy from the grasp of fakers and scammers. All the while, this documentary (with so much potential) ended by pulling the biggest scam of the film - pretend to be a French painter. This time around the victims were obviously the young employed citizens of Los Angeles who were too stupid to research the guy.What did Leroy learn from scamming I would ask? With a bit more training Leroy could find his own unique style.What could have been.....Hope to see more of your work. Sincerely- Frank

Theme of the journey is in principle interesting, but it is very loosely treated.You put a bunch or poorly educated people who create a whole imaginary world around them, because obviously they did not manage to reach the dream life they wanted when they were kids and you put them in front of a camera. Of course they make fool of themselves, their ego shouting all over the place that they want to be considered, whatever it takes. The film director seems very much happy that they give the show, not trying a single minute to be understanding, quite the contrary. Summum is reached when he gathers two of these chumps, which of course ends up in a fight of cuckoos. Easy and lazy.After explaining how much psychs, voodoo, and other proclaimed experts fool people and make money out of them, the movie end up in a big painting sale, where the film director is delighted in showing how much he can fool people buying pieces he painted with his penis...Of course on the way one poor guy is helped for the "ooooo that's so sweet"-effect, but the aftertaste of this movie is rather bitter. Too bad good ingredients were there.At the end this is not a must see and current IMDb rating is difficult to understand.

I thought this movie was going to be a lot like Religulous (which I did like) but it was definitely more... theatrical? Meaning there were a lot of moving/sentimental moments that I did not expect. It deals with paranormal, crop circles, aliens, ghosts (not explored very well though), voodoo, God, doomsday, etc.I learned to love each of these special characters and I think Blake Freeman takes the viewer on a fun, silly, random, and meaningful journey. It brought a lot of new perspective to me on how we live our lives. I know, this is very strange commentary for this particular movie but when you see, you'll understand why.Any criticisms would be for the cinematography I guess. It's sometimes guerrilla style shooting, which is understandable, but in a lot of places it doesn't seem to flow too easily or transition well. It's kind of like those adventures on Jackass. It often switches from home-video style to theatrical style which can be kind of confusing, but I took it for the better because it KEPT my attention. It's VERY EASY to say I was never bored or looking at my phone. I cared about where the characters went and what happened to them.Definitely something I enjoyed and would recommend.
