I had the pleasure of seeing this film recently at the Orlando Film Festival. I found it charming in so many ways as well as extremely well written, directed and performed. Rock Barnes: The Emperor in You is a delightful parody on today's short-cut self-help craze complete with it's own narcissistic superstar, who goes about his business without a clue about who he is affecting or how in the world around him. I found this film entertaining from start to finish and it is a truly intelligent and witty. I would highly recommend this film for people who enjoy a good comedy in the vein of "Spinal Tap" or "Best of Show" as is has the same disarming appeal and will be enjoyed by both young and older audiences.

A friend turned me onto this film and I'm glad I watched it. RockBarnes is a hilarious parody about a delusional self-help guru. It's filmed 'documentary' style with a film crew following him around to get behind the scenes footage of RockBarnes... the legend. I don't want to spoil anything... but like dominoes, it all comes tumbling down. If you like comedies and you want a good laugh, I highly recommend it.
