Producer Steve Rappaport and director Michael Riley have been given carte blanche to make a multimillion-dollar epic based on the Old Testament. One day into production, they blow their budget and are forced to cut corners with a scythe. Rappaport and Riley must now scout about for cheap locations in the LA area, and make do with whatever stars they can afford. The funniest sequences involve Soupy Sales, who has been cast as Moses, crepe beard and all. Lou Ferrigno, Eve Plumb, and film critic Michael Medved (co-author of The 50 Worst Movies of All Time) also have significant cameos in this likeable effort. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
There is humor but it's too sane and too safe to qualify the film for an eccentric midnight movie
Karina Montgomery, Cinerina

Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
Amusing mock-doc that sends up the self-delusions low-budget directors often force themsleves to labor under.
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Mel Gibson should have studied this.
Kurt Dahlke, Apollo Guide
Clever humour, a lack of pretension, and crafty weaving of actual reality throughout the plot delivers a bounty of laughs minus the pandering of mainstream Hollywood satire.
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
Genuinely funny
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
A pretty damn hilarious mockumentary about the pitfalls of filmmaking.

Wonderfully funny Canadian mockumentary chronicles the efforts of two film partners who envision creating the next epic on the scale of <i>The Ten Commandments</i> and instead wind up with a disaster of Biblical proportions! Perfectly inappropriate stunt casting adds to the fun, and the commercial fate of their film delivers one of the most perfectly conceived endings of all time.

Hilarious. One of the first mockumentaries I saw years after Spinal Tap, so it was bound to stand in it's shadow. Years after, now that there are mockumentaries coming out all the time I'm certain this could be looked upon more favourably. Still, a very funny look into a big budget disaster.
