**********Warning this Review Contains Spoilers***************
For all of you doubters out there that think this is a serious movie or documentary here are all the clues that it's actually a Mockumentary or satire:
– No matter how much of an attention-whore he is, if this was a serious documentary about Joaquin he would never have let the film be released with his former assistant, Anton, getting revenge by crapping on his face.
– Speaking of attention-whores, as soon as I saw Ben Stiller's face, I knew it was a hoax. Ben's a cameo-whore.
– There's no way Casey could have stayed married and also publicly released a film trashing his brother-in-law by showing every nasty, flaming commentary he could find on TV or the internet.
– After Joaquin desperately follows Diddy from New York to Miami and Diddy continues to take his calls and see him throughout the movie? Diddy was in on the joke. No other explanation. –There are a lot of other little inconsistencies or things that are too coincidental:
* Compare the editing and post-production value of the camera work with that of Joaquin's music. It could not be the same group of people putting so much thought, time and money into setting up the composition and angles of the camera shots for the movie and then turn around and let Joaquin basically defecate on stage when he tries to rap.
*What's up with the surgical mask appearing periodically on his neck while at the same time he has his dirty dreadlocks wrapped up in a shirt on his head?
* For those of you who actually watched the entire movie; the waterfall at the beginning and the waterfall at the end is so obvious that by the end you can't continue to seriously think that it's just coincidental. It's not Joaquin's subconscious leading him back to his childhood roots – common! An article online says that Joaquin admitted that the waterfall footage at the beginning wasn't even him or his family. They paid actors to film that scene and then used a film processing technique to make it look grainy and old. --And if you still don't believe it, there is a transcript online of an interview Casey gave the Roger Ebert with full details of the hoax. Casey says that, "the drugs and the hookers were fake but the vomiting was real". BTW Casey had to say that because if the movie was real, anything the film shows they did is illegal can be used as evidence against them.
