When Terry discovers he's about to be a father, he does what any other sane person would do. He moves himself and his nine-months-pregnant wife from Iowa to Los Angeles to shoot a low-budget indie movie and sell it to a streamer. Documented by his cousin Devin's behind-the-scenes camera crew, Terry suddenly finds that his beliefs about diversity, the #MeToo movement, and what technically qualifies as a properly financed film production put him at odds with, well, every single person who meets him. Featuring a cast of comedy MVPs, Micro Budget follows Terry's disastrous attempts to make a disaster movie, and his inability to serve a decent lunch.

Fans of "cringe comedy" will probably enjoy this ode to independent filmmaking, but others will find main character Terry endlessly aggravating and the jokes more gobsmacking than funny.

The cutoff's very simple when it comes to comedies: is it funny? And on that count, Micro Budget succeeds, going for cringe humor that's obviously inspired by The Office. ... A pretty hilarious takedown of current moviemaking.

3/5

This ode to industry-outlier fame whores is a street-level version of AppleTV’s hit The Studio. A feel-bad satire aimed at the industry’s low-tier exploiters and the boardrooms that enable them.

8/10

Micro Budget is packed with superstar improvisers, immortalizing the no-budget film set life through the eyes and ears of a team of the stupidest possible people. It's a deliriously perfect, laugh-a-second satire.

B-

"Micro Budget" certainly has its moments, though the endeavor could definitely cut a little deeper with its comedy and interest in the difficulty of moviemaking, especially when a complete idiot is calling the shots.
