What I liked in the film?
The concept of these guys shooting their own versions of popular movies is interesting.
What I did not like in the film?
This film is boring with clichéd comedy.
The scenes I liked?
1. ‘Keep the Jerry out’ episode is hilarious.
2. The climax is little heart touching.
Tailpiece: This film is unappealing for an average Indian movie lover. It might have worked in Hollywood, but is an uninteresting film to me.
