More so than any other film I have ever seen, I just cannot understand why this film has never received a higher level of recognition. It is a true work of genius and is one of the funniest films I know.
I know the 'mockumnetry' genre has been done and done now, but back in 2000 I guess it was still kind of fresh and it works well with this film. Jerry Stiller's facial expressions are just a delight by themselves - whenever I see him in anything else I always think of Morty Fineman. The scene when his son reveals how Morty gave him his name will always make me laugh.
Any B-movie fan will love this film - the trailers we see of Morty's films are just mini works of art within the film.
