Absolutely the worst movie.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I would say this practical joke was cruel, if it seemed to have actually fooled the butt of the joke; Perry. But the "reveal" of the joke, which is hidden in the special features, proves Perry is not surprised in the least. There are arguments over whether this is "real" or not. But, I'm mainly concerned with how aware Perry is of the joke. Either way, it's a failure of a "practical joke." Either he's aware of what's going on, which negates any gotcha aspect, or more dubiously he isn't, and it's just plain mean.Aside from awareness, Perry proves a boring lead, and costars like The Mole--a terribly unfunny, watered-down version of a Jim Breuer caricature of a stoner--are lame and unbelievable. Simply, the whole practical joke is so unconvincing, that one would have to be far stupider than fall-guy Perry, to actually fall for the prank.

Perry got into an Auto Accident on December 6th, 1979. Three weeks after he got his Drivers License. I was in a Coma and Hospitalized at Loma Linda University and woke on December 25th, 1979. His fathers birthday. He stayed in the Hospital until Febuary 23rd, 1980. September 4th 1983 Perry and his Mother moved to Costa Mesa, Ca. so Perry could attend Coastline Community College for the Tramaticly Head Injured. Then in Febuary 1988 Perry and his mother moved back to Tarzana to help Family matters. Now Perry works a day job for his Cousins at Master Graphics Printing in Reseda, Ca. and also helps his Aunt and Mother with Managing an Apartment Complex. I also do Extra Work on Film sets and so Stand Up Comedy. To include, to this, I also Host Rock Concerts and in the past have put on Rock Concerts and Booked Clubs from as far North as The Majestic Ventura Theater to as far South as The Couch House in San Juan Capistrano where I booked Opening acts for Leslie West's Band "Mountain."

i really got a kick out of this movie. i love practical jokes. but near the end of this movie, as perry is watching the premier of this movie, i got really upset.especially with the look on his face as this auditorium was filled with people cheering him heroically. i suddenly felt terrible thinking about the moment when this poor guy would be told the whole thing was a hoax.most practical jokes involve really bad situations where the victim is later relieved that is was not real. this is the opposite and to an extreme degree. this guy was crying and seemed to feel his entire life was validated. what a rug to pull out from someone's feet just for the sake of the public's (yours and mine) laughter.i can only hope he was a good sport about it. after all, his dream of being a star did come true, in a way.again, i thought the movie was very funny for obvious reasons, but did anyone feel the things i just described?

Nobody in their right mind will believe that this is a "documentary of a real prank", because there are too many nonsensical events. Instead, just enjoy the craziness and unadulterated (and often unsophisticated) comedy in this film.I think Perry Caravello completely steals this show. To put it another way, I would go so far as to say that everyone *but* Caravello absolutely stank in this movie. But that isn't a fatal flaw - because all the funny moments are HIS moments and the rest of the people are just there converting oxygen into CO2.The biggest knock I have on this movie is that it isn't, well, "tight". I really wonder about the evolution from story to screenplay to shooting to production and where the heck the focus was lost. As soon as about halfway through the movie, everything starts falling apart into a series of seemingly random events, as if they either 1) got tired of making it, or 2) butchered the thing in editing to make a time limit.A bit of an annoyance is Tony Barbieri's insistence that he bring his "Niles Standish" voice (as J.Q. Adams) into the movie, as if that is some sort of gold standard that will add credibility to the movie. For him to have to leave the room each time Niles (er, "Adams") came on the line was basically a silly ego trip on his part. Who cares who does that voice? Keep it over at Crank Yankers.Lastly, several reviewers seem to think that Perry Caravello is not a "real" person. Perry is real, and interestingly enough, if you check out his web site at http://www.scaryperryproductions.com and spend time there, you'll see that there seems to be a big similarity between the real Perry and the movie character. The real Caravello is slogging his way through the business, trying to make it in the same manner. Once you spend time on his site, you'll probably want to watch the movie again because the insight will offer a new dimension. You start rooting for the guy in real life, too!
