Naive, pretentious film director Clive Walton (Michael Riley) and his producer, Marvin Handleman (Stephen Rappaport), set out to create an epic religious film. Their woefully inept efforts to bring forth a masterpiece form the basis of this mockumentary about the making of the ambitious and ultimately doomed project. Despite the havoc that surrounds them, Clive and Marvin endeavor to complete production, resolutely believing they are following God's plan.

There is humor but it's too sane and too safe to qualify the film for an eccentric midnight movie

Amusing mock-doc that sends up the self-delusions low-budget directors often force themsleves to labor under.

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.

A director/producer team of such low budget films as "Nude Ninjas" collaborate on a film about the Bible ... the entire Bible. After the initial footage shot is deemed less than promising, their funding is cut off and they have to scrounge to get the money to complete their epic. Their film features some inspired casting ... Lou Ferrigno as Cain, Soupy Sales as Moses and Eve Plumb as Mrs. Noah. This mockumentary about low budget film making pre-dates the post-Christopher Guest explosion of the genre. It's an amusing film with some truly inspired jokes (Moses carrying cans of Coke down from Mount Sinai to help pay for the film) and a lot of mildly amusing stuff. Andy Dick and Chris Kattan appear in small, pre-fame roles.

If you need a good reason to laugh at hollywood see this parady on big budget epics that are less than epic, one of my favorite next to Spinal Tap.

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.

Basically, how not to make a movie. Amusing and fairly well made... for a B-movie 'making of' movie about a B movie.
