Everyone starts out young and ambitious. This film was actually used in one of my studies classes as what NOT to do. The sound is terrible, the acting is sub-par, the editing and continuity are flawed .. yet, all to great ends.
And yes, the story and characters are not much to attach to. However, it did bring some of the cast and crew to new levels and that is what makes this worth watching. See the process and the evolution of skill from the lows (this film) to the highs (look where they are now).
Did I like this film? No. It was a train wreck as a stand-alone picture. However, if you appreciate the art of filmmaking, you see this as a milestone of accomplishment for everyone involved. I applaud this film for what it did for some of those involved - and poo-poo it from every other aspect.
What a fantastic business is filmmaking ...
