A day in the life of America’s favorite sweetheart Nick Alex, with Robert Benfer and Chris Alex, directed by Jason Steele. 74min imdb
Recap:
Nick is America’s favorite sweetheart. In fact he is the perfect embodiment of nickness. After his birth, he was kept alive by white rabbits for seven full months before he was returned to his parents. His favorite drink is one half root beer, mixed with one half other brand root beer. Now that his nickness has been discovered by filmmaker Robert Benfer, we are treated to a day in the life of Nick. Trouble is that he is stuck in a toxic bromance with Chris, who is obviously the world’s best Monopoly player, and I guess that says a lot. God, how I hate Monopoly.
After seeing this, the obvious thing to do is to praise this excellent movie as a life changing experience, adapting the attitude that Benfer shows in this one. Well, yes, this movie is excellent indeed. Trouble is that most scenes are not quite as good as they are long. More and shorter scenes would have done this movie so much good. And yet, in its own way, this movie is a revelation. All writer/directors of microbudget movies should be forced to watch this, because this one shows exactly how it’s done. Having no budget is just not an excuse for delivering a cheap movie.
