I was an actor in this film, (the bartender watermelon guy) I took my girlfriend to the premier and we cried with laughter the entire time. Thank you for making me laugh uncontrollably at this review. 😂 this film is hilarious and glad to see you enjoyed it too.
Yes, we need more behind-the-scenes info on this movie. I look at the actual movies produced by these vanity projects as merely residue from the much more intriguing real-life behind-the-scenes events. Kind of like The Room and The Disaster Artist.
I think everyone knew it was gonna be terrible, that why the director made specific attempts to lean into it. Honestly I don't think Jag (brian) really knew that we were leaning into the mockery of it. After the screening there was a Q and A and I specifically remember him saying how everything went perfect and he was just so happy about how perfect it was and how everyone did just did an a+ job in it 🤣
@@oscarharris4342 It makes me wonder if there is a need for all artists to be at least a little bit delusional. At least they seem to need to be delusional prior to any accolades or success. Maybe that goes for any endeavor pursued. Thank you for the info.
@samholdsworth420 yt is getting weird with comments. I just heard someone complaining that his replies to comments on his own videos were getting instantly deleted. Now I just got a notification about your replies to my comment and I see that they're from 3 weeks ago. Weird af.
Yep. Kinda like a VERY exaggerated Ryan George 'Producer Guy'. I really, really love the self-inserts (not least because they take so much time, effort and GOSHDARN IT creativity. AWESOME!
The copious amounts of green screen, the tiger, all the girls going after this guy who looks about 60 - as an Australian, I hereby christen this man "The Aussie Neil Breen".
I made the mistake of watching this at the office. I was being very discreet for the most part but the mustache scene just killed me. I couldn't hold back. It was echoing laughter at that point, resonating all over the office.
I love the confidence of these weirdos - like Champagne & Bullets, the protagonist doesn’t exactly look like the sort of guy they wish they were. Far from a badass lothario, and with all due respect, this guy looks like he’d cook up a mean gyro and try to pitch me on some business idea while I’m waiting.
I saw another post mention that the movie is actually satire of vanity projects, and that would explain these naked gun like moments. It is a vanity project satirizing vanity projects... but it is still a vanity project. XD
@_Niki_224 he could have pulled more chicks if he'd booked the actual sexiest animals: Bonobos. Unless there was some edited out BDSM. Then the most sexy are llamas. 🤐
A little bit of Monica in my life A little bit of Erica by my side A little bit of Rita's all I need A little bit of Tina's what I see A little bit of Sandra in the sun A little bit of Mary all night long A little bit of Jessica, here I am A little bit of you makes me your man (ha!)
one of my thoughts was, these guys in these vanity projects always look like they buy their clothes and furnishings exclusively from stores that end in "emporium" or "city"! glad someone else understands the vibe!
Pretty sure the waiter scene is the result of someone telling Bryan Fernandez "If you want a good bar scene to stand out, make sure there's a staff member with huge melons." He stared blankly at him, uncomfortably shook his hand for a long time while looking like he was at a urinal and made himself a mental note of that advice he'd been given... 6:40 is the result of how he applied it.
This film seems like an attempt at comedy. Not fully a "bad on purpose" movie, but definitely taking the piss. Also, Mark as the boss is one of the best green screen Mark moments.
Not sure how much of it is due to Mark's presentation, but it genuinely feels like the guy had some self-awareness. Just enough to know that it wouldn't work as a straightforward mystery/drama, and so tried to make something a little weird and fun instead. It's still a failure as far as I can tell, but respect for having any self-awareness at all if so.
Yes, this is definitely satire of vanity projects, rather than a vanity project in itself. There's a lot of "performative vanity", where the lead actor is inserted into typical situations from such movies, but the situation is deliberately undercut by a background gag (like someone getting a folder from the shelf while they're having sex). It's the kind of thing that happens in genuine vanity projects but as mistakes, like the hand of one of the crew catching the champagne glass in GetEven. That's why there's framing device of him watching the movie - to establish that Bryan Fernandez is a "real" person who's telling you a story about how awesome he is, but we know that isn't true. He's an actor - Jag Pannu - acting out a script written by another person and is directed by a third person. It's a fun idea though, and seems reasonably well executed.
@@TaramiBedona Ya know... if it was actually intentional, then the movie might actually be good. But the fact that you can't actually tell makes it great.
I'd happily settle for a collection of inserts of Mark throughout famous scenes, like: "Actually, _Neo,_ there _is_ a spoon; it's right there in front of you. C'mon, man!"
Thanks. What makes these ego driven passion projects so hilarious is the narcissistic jerk making them is so self involved they can't even SEE how bad it is!! 😅❤
this is a masterclass in "b*tches be crazy" lore, and I'm so thankful to be able to consume it through a satiric lens with you, otherwise I'd lose all hope!
The women characters obviously are angry at Brian out of envy and unrestrained desire. That's why they blew up his Lamborghini, NOT because he's a lying, philandering misogynist. /s
I NEED this director and Breen to collaborate on a project about a Breenesque superspy taking down a corrupt businessman as the both steal ladies back and forth from eachother. I want it so bad.
Im from Perth, Australia where this was made and Id like to apologise for this very accurate display of what people are like here. Perth is the Indian-creep capital of the world and this documentary is about how they turn our women into toxic obssesors.
Yeah if you ever hear knocking on the door and you hear someone in australian accent asking if you orderd some kipper from the barbie then its time to panic.
Man that skit you did at 14:00 was absolutely hilarious. It just kept getting funnier and funnier. This is just one of the many reasons that this is my favorite channel on RU-vid. 😂
Mark absolutely needs to check out "shotgun" starting stuart chapin... it's essentially samurai cop crossed with lethal weapon, complete with a BDSM millionaire bad guy and it's own 80s theme song... you won't be disappointed, it's one of my favorites
It’s fantastic that they’ve used a right hand drive like we have in Australia, but in the road images they are obviously driving on the right hand side of the road, not the left like we do in Australia 🤣
Mark man when you popped in that scene mustache and white suit I nearly died laughing, keep up the good work, hope the move went well and your settling in too
Watching Toxic Obsession conjured memories of the likes of Dangerous Men and The Amazing Bulk. It highlights Mark’s genius for mining comedy from cinematic root canals.
Nothing more annoying than breaking in a new compass. Having to move the pourn from between the mattress and box spring to make room for your new compass and sleep on it for like a month straight.
This reminds me of made for TV version of Joey Buttafuoco's version of events with Amy Fischer. Such a joke where he's an innocent bystander of a teenage girls obsession.
This is obviously set in Australia, and all I can think while watching is, "Why is his wallet full of paper money? Why were they driving through the snow?"
Does Brian Fermandez, or whoever the Star/Director/Writer/Producer is, have a scene where he's wearing a *black tank top?* This seems like a _black tank top_ kind of movie.
This was by far my favourite of your character insert scenes! It worked so well. Of course, it helped that you had so many amazing main character reaction shots to use 😂
I love how these bad movies exist in their own weird universe made by people who have no idea how real people act. Like the girl leading him around on a horse in a bikini and then for some reason looking up and waving hello at him? Weird movie with Mark indeed.
"employee of the month gun" LMAO. Okay ngl, the b/w filter going off at the timing of him waving his hat, that was kinda fun. The Maclane? guy ('stache dude) was doing some heavy lifting with this acting, and I chuckled at that cop who was like, nah let's check it when we get to the station. The delivery was A+ lmao.
I don’t know why, but the cringe/squirm factor on this movie was a lot harder for me to sit through, than usual… I had to look away from the screen a couple times during the “love scenes”. 😂
If you hate this movie, Mark. Then Broken Contract, another ego project by this guy, may be right up your alley. Especially one scene that happens in the last 10 minutes of the movie. RU-vid suggested it after I watched this episode.
14:07 Mark made this movie a 100 times better. Especially with that mustache. I wonder if I should grow a mustache, imagine me, Albert Wesker with a mustache. 😎👍💯
I didn't notice before, but the picture in his house is the movie poster. I think they photo-shopped the sword out, but he's still holding his hand the same.
The main character seriously looks like a fusion of Turkmenistan leader, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, and billionaire Haim Saban... frankly, I'm sure Berdimuhamedow would do a movie like this, except he would portray himself in a more positive light rather than this... I would most certainly see that movie, btw
Gross,wealthy Turkish businessman makes a terrible movie just so he can run a casting couch . 10:16 dude has a picture of himself in a kimono brandishing a sword 😂
Melons in Australia are a very sought after high commodity. My theory is the bartender is in the black market melon selling. Not that I would really know, it's just what I have been told.
