Make That Movie review
The Last One Laughing and Taskmaster star’s supremely daft mockumentary is so hilarious it deserves to be paraded around the streets. Hopefully it can run and run
TL;DR
- Sam Campbell's new sitcom, Make That Movie, is a mockumentary about film production that worships 'Birdemic: Shock and Terror'.
- Campbell plays a former movie director who now helps people make bizarre low-budget productions.
- Episodes feature outlandish ideas like snake transformations, cyber-thrillers involving pensioners entering computers, and animated feet.
- The show explores Campbell's confusion with English culture, including children's book characters and football hooliganism films.
- The series is lauded as a celebration of bad films and comedy, steering clear of justifying humor with trauma.
- The fast-paced format fits a new character, idea, production, and finished product into 23-minute episodes.
- Make That Movie is considered a sign that comedy for comedy's sake is returning to television.
