The film is at it's best when it's showcasing Steven, sorry, I mean Sammy's love for filmmaking. I wish it focused more on that. Instead we get a bunch of subplots that add nothing to the overall theme of the movie. Was it really necessary to see yet another cliched high school story with the bullies straight out of an anti-bullying campaign video? Or the crazy uncle who showed up for a few scenes, spewed the old inspirational 'Follow your dreams' speech, and then goes away, never to be mentioned again? The whole movie feels very unfocused because of this. Jumping from one story to another with no real connection. There are some really good moments in the film. Unfortunately, you have to sit through some long, drawn out, unnecessary and boring scenes to get to them.
