The cast and crew of TRAILER: THE MOVIE take you on two trips. If any narrative can be capable of describing the first, it would be about two loser guys devoid of reason or restraint, who uncharismatically pick up two girls. It turns out these four are very much made for each other and for the rest of the film are free to run roughshod over the desert and then Hollywood. The second trip is through the dialogue, pulling snippets from famous films at (mostly) appropriate times. If you caught yourself recognizing any of them, give yourself a gold star. I am sure I missed over half of them, but the film's structure lets you know instantly that what you are hearing has got to be significant. My favorite reference was the classic "These are not the droids you're looking for" scene from STAR WARS. Ian and company obviously had a lot of fun making this film (as is evident from the very end shot), and I hope to see any future projects from them.

Even worse than STRAIGHT TO HELL

If this movie was a person, I'd beat it to death with a claw hammer. 90 minutes of static would have been more entertaining and less annoying. Definitely one of the ten worst movies ever made. EVER. Why was this made? Why? Why? Why?
This is a clever film.

It was interesting to hear the characters in this movie use dialog from movies I saw ten or twenty years ago. It was fun guessing what movie thoses lines were from. The characters talk about movies, recite lines from movies, and talk about making a movie. It's great if your a person that really loves film (obviously). Besides that the characters were really cool and the cinematography was beautiful - and those girls were sexy. I loved that bit of nudity just after the end credits started. It's a fun movie.
