It doesn't work, in my opinion, because it makes the mistake of thinking its pretentiousness is substance. I'm sure the film has a deeper social commentary about mass entertainment, as is mentioned in the description, and how Disney, as a corporation, will cover up horrible incidents in order to keep up Disney World's appearance as the happiest place on earth intact, that part I liked, but I just feel it's a hollow way to give the film some depth. I''m just saying that the effort to pull it off wasn't made into putting together a great film that would make all of this effort worth it. I'm not trying to shit on the effort made into actually pulling the film off without no one noticing. It's all running in place until Jim is incapacitated by the security guards and taken to Epcot people, which is when the plot, if you can even call it that, starts to reveal the big picture. I can't imagine how long the script was, there's literally next to nothing going on in this film.

But the fact of the matter is this, that there's nothing in this movie that a first year film student couldn't have done, and probably done it better as well. I have tons of respect for the cast and crew for managing to pull this off. I think it takes a LOT of balls to do what these people did, and how they actually pulled it off without any of the workers at Disney picking up on it. People made such a big deal about the film, and how it was shot, at Disney World without their permission, that I think people actually forgot that they hadn't seen the final product yet. Things start to get even crazier near the end, but by this point it's just simply too late. Nothing really happens outside of Jim constantly following some Parisian teenagers, like a pervert, and seeing surrealist visions as he's going on the rides at Disney World. I'd like to say that the first 50 minutes, or so, of the movie are deliberately paced, but I can't. The problem comes in the fact that this is a concept and nothing else. What is there to say about this film? One thing I will say is that it's certainly not boring. But that's another discussion for another day, and another website. There's a lot of that in the internet, and with the anonymous nature of it, some people think they can get away with saying horrid things just because you have a dissenting opinion. It's not like anybody reads these reviews, I do them because I enjoy writing them, but this seems like the type of movie where if you disliked it its fans will claim it's because you didn't understand it. I've been dreading doing this review ever since I finished this movie yesterday.
