The Napa Boys. The concept is, what if the movie Sideways had spawned a series of increasingly terrible, raunchy, American Pie style direct-to-video sequels, and this is the fourth movie in the franchise. It’s full of juvenile gross out humor, bad editing, plot points that get introduced out of nowhere or disappear into nothing, and incredibly cheap production values. But on purpose.
It’s a fun concept, and it wrings some genuinely funny moments out of the absurdity. It also has some fun roles for a few comedians I like: David Wain, Paul Rust, Mike Hanford, etc. Ray Wise and DJ Qualls show up in small parts too.
But it’s still sometimes a hard watch; cause even if a bad movie is bad on purpose, that doesn’t inherently make it good. I’d say it’s worth checking out though if the premise intrigues you. Just know what you’re getting into
Calling that movie unapproachable is an understatement and I enjoyed it. It felt like at times they were parodying so many concepts simultaneously that I lost what the joke actually was. Still it’s a weird indie comedy so I don’t think it was aiming too high
