What is the point of this film?

What on earth is the point of this movie? If someone could explain to me why this film was made, then I would really like to meet you. I'll admit that the camera quality was nice, though. But there were lots of audio inconsistencies, and man oh man, does this story drag along at the pace of a hungover turtle. But what IS the story? And what is the point? The only thing that made the film watchable were a few of the actors who made the best out of a rather weak script. I just think it could have been a lot better had more attention to detail been given from the start. Give us a good story, a good script, and well-written characters. Then maybe it would be something worth watching. If you love making films, then keep working at it. But better luck next time.

Yawn...

Happened to take a look at this film from a friend of a friend. But I'm not sure we'll still be friends after they made me sit and watch this thing. I will never get those minutes of my life back! What was the director trying to say with this film? Does it have a purpose? Really flat dialogue, poorly-written characters, the list goes on. I wanted to care about the characters and get involved in their story, but there was barely even a story at all. It seems like maybe it was made just to crack up the crew. I can't imagine any other reason for putting this film together. I could tell that the actors were really trying to make it work, but the whole project just really falls short.

Funny!

No doubt that Haynes and his crew did the superb job making this master piece out of the limited budget. All the main characters in the comic book store and its strange shoppers are all funny as hell. Highly recommend this movie.

Great Movie!

I recently saw Comic Day and I really liked it! The cussing was a bit too much but all around it was a great movie. It was very well acted, and I wish it were even longer. Steve Summers and Josh Gilpatrick were hilarious and perfectly cast! Todd Taylor was perfect as Holden. I was laughing out loud during the scene where is at the drive through. Soshi was a very funny thug too. The kids were also very good! I'd recommend this movie to everyone!
