Hysterically funny, wonderful, and really terrible.

Walking away from Chop & Steele, I have great admiration for Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher. They see the silliness behind the world’s seriousness. It’s stated in the film that they use mischief to save the world, and I wholeheartedly believe that.

What also transpires is a portrait of friendship and underdogs, choosing to preserve a way of life and denying compromise in the process...

We’re essentially watching two guys with a lifelong dependency on each other, and a seeming addiction to cringe, consider the possibility for the first time in decades of giving up some key aspect of their own identities.

They really are funny guys and it's amazing that they've managed to make a living off of this.

3.5/4

“Chop & Steele” digs just enough into the real lives of Prueher and Pickett to give their story some emotional weight, without detracting from the laughs.

I enjoyed this. The guys made me laugh, and it was cool seeing the behind-the-scenes of K-Strass. Very niche film, but great for comedic pranksters.
