Audience Member Buckle up, because riding along with Dick Dickster and his Manager Sammy Davas,Jr. on his way to revive his Hollywood career is a bumpy and hysterical ride. Robert Ray Shafer (Psycho Cop, The Office) takes us on a journey through Hollywood that goes from sadness, to gladness to downright badness. Anyone who has spent time, even a little, in the machinery of show business will find so much to relate to here. Dick Dickster, as the down and out Director, chasing his next big project and running from the mob and his ex-wife, takes us on a break-neck rollercoaster of comedy and situations that would make even some veterans of the biz squeamish. His passion for the business and love of whiskey collide daily, and the documentary crew following him captures it all. Shafer is probably best known as "Bob Vance/Vance Refrigeration" on the wildly popular sitcom 'The Office' but this Dickster character is the complete antithesis of Bob, in so many funny ways (and a few that would make Phyllis blush). The supporting cast is also very well appointed. It was great to see Richard Grieco again as well as Tim Russ (Star Trek: Voyager) and Jan Broberg, but my personal favorite is Calvin Tenner (Glenn in the warehouse of 'The Office') and his opportunity for some very funny comedic choices/scenes. As a veteran myself of Hollywood for almost 20 years, I saw so many familiar "types" here that reminded me of some great and some not-so-great moments in my own career as a Casting Director. Shot in only 6 days, Shafer used every minute to his advantage, employing a farce-like pace to the absurd situations these characters found themselves in, resulting in a pure comedy that doesn't really give you a chance to catch your breath before the next crazy scene picks you up and dumps you out onto Hollywood Blvd. Dick shows us that no matter who thinks you're "finished in this town", if you still believe in yourself, your dreams...and whiskey, you can do great things and "rise to the occasion". For those who still misunderstand him and his vision...they don't know Dick. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Full of one liners, funny from start to finish. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a funny, fast-paced story with clever dialogue and a terrific cast! Robert Ray Shafer is fantastic as Dick Dickster! To see him go from despicable obnoxious drunk to a man in a state of child-like glee is a treat. The rest of the cast is amazing, too! There are too many great moments to try and list them and I wouldn't want to give away any of the plot twists. It is a great mockumentary and definitely worth watching! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Bobby Ray Shafer has made a very funny, very entertaining movie here with "Dick Dickster." Clearly leaning on his experiences in Hollywood, Shafer also relies strongly on the exploits of legendary Hollywood actors and directors to create a witty mockumentary about movie-making. Shafer shows he's not just a talented actor, but he also is a sharp writer has a keen eye for producing. The supporting cast also do a good job of making the movie a fun time. Jan Broberg in particular was fun to watch. This one is worth your time, for sure. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is fast and fun from start to finish. Dick is an obnoxious drunk and he embodies every "bad-boy" behavior that Hollywood is famous for. Dick's world is deservedly imploding as the mob, the D.A., his ex-wife and a woman from the past returns for revenge. The actors are all top notch and Shafer as The Dickster is truly the director from hell. Laugh-out loud comedy! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A complete RIOT!! A send up! This movie is wild and relevant. It has new jokes for everyone and pushes the boundaries of comedy to become a revolutionary and instant comedy classic!
