Meeting Bobby Young

Comedy gold. A great take on a current fad. The shots were superb and the main actor was really funny with brilliant facial expressions throughout. :-D

Doing a fad film is not particularly easy, considering that no matter what you do, there's a high probibility that it will end up a bit gimicky. Whanau Marama threw themselves into this with gusto, and covered a range of fads. Notably, they were the only team to really touch on 3D Television, which was quite a good idea. The sequences covering that were well done, and their obvious spoof take on explaining it was hillarious and well thought out, I especially loved the red/blue glasses being used to watch one of the new LCD 3D TVs. Like many other fad films, they gave planking its share of screen time, and I rather hope the guy who fell off the apex of the roof didn't hurt himself. Overall a decent movie, though it was a bit long here and there. The audience got a kick out of it and the boys looked like they enjoyed making it, which is always good!
