Feel the buzz

Your movie rocks! This was really good. It needs to go to people. —Shanti Sosienski, magazine journalist Steve and Shawn's documentary was very amusing... The fact that Brooklyn Weaver never shows is wonderful and so typical Hollywood. I could REALLY feel the boys' disappointment... Sarah and I enjoyed it. CONGRATS! —Chris Lockhart, ICM The picture quality was better than I expected. —Cindy Donnelly, Shawn's mom It's fucking awesome — I forgot how good it was. —Jeff Miller, music journalist Guys, next time, use standard play! —Dan Petrie Jr., screenwriter/director I mean, I might be biased, but I thought it was good shit. —Ryan Patterson, college roommate I just watched WOTT and I thought it was TERRIFIC! You guys did a stupendous job. I would have liked to have seen a little more of the meetings you guys had, but overall, fantastic job. —Chris Switzer, Michigan screenwriter

I think it's hilarious. I think you guys are hilarious. I was an intern for George Clooney's production company, but he doesn't compare to you guys. —Alie Flierl, Dreamworks I loved it. I laughed, I cried. —Mike Eiff, CAA The DVD didn't work in my player (an Apex AD600) but worked fine in my girlfriend's Apex player (different model). —Switzer again I watched the whole thing. —Neil Cox, friend of Shawn's since boyhood The movie is really great and the two of you are, too. I hope that you're both feeling good and proud of what you've done so far and excited about the future — you should be! FELIZIDADES! —Jackie Guerra, comedian, actor, TV host Sorry I wasn't able to see your movie. I was cleaning my car and I sprayed myself with Armour All, so I'm having my eyesockets drained. I'm hoping I can see it some other time, though. —Kendall Linzee, actor I liked it. Found it charming and funny and agonizing in parts — agonizing in the right way, with a kind of squinting anticipation of rejection. It had a tongue-in-cheek naivete that really worked. —Julia Schachter, documentary filmmaker

Just watched your documentary and I loved it... It's one of those great projects that would easily gather a huge fan following if it had the chance to be seen. I work in film as a bitch, er, grunt... er, production assistant. I've gotten a bunch of connections over the past two years and know quite a few people who'd love to check it out, including a couple of folks at MGM and a director or two... —Brendon Fong, Hollywood type It's all tortilla at this point. —Angus Spottiswoode, editor on the film I really enjoyed it. I like the development of the story — how you start off so naive about things, which is funny. Lots of little nice moments... The best scene is in the car after the meeting with David. With Shawn's "What if your soul doesn't pop" stuff. That gets to the heart of every writer's fears. —Brian Diamond, screenwriter* Note: None of these people were paid to say these things. Except for Angus, and then only in cheeseburgers. And his comment isn't even about the movie, it's about a fajita. *No relation to Dustin Diamond from Saved by the Bell. Wanna add your own review?
