I've ever seen. I thought the director(s) were laughing at the characters and smirking at how much more sophisticated they were. I saw the film at a festival and the responsible parties were there. Young yuppie types. Fashionably disshevelled. Making humorous comments about the subject director. I wonder if their next feature is "Welfare Moms?"
Hands on a Hard Body: the real stuff. Not insulting or demeaning. You can feel good about laughing at this one.

A month ago I would not have agreed with you -- but today I think that this has validity if you see Todd Solondz's "Storytelling.""Storytelling" has a section called "Nonfiction" which revolves are creating a documentary about a well-meaning buffoon named Scooby Livingston. Scooby thinks they take him seriously, but he ends up looking like a joke and finds that out at the end of the film.
Why this is so pertinent to "American Movie" is that Mike Schank has a small role as the documentary's cameraman. A jab back at the "American Movie" creators? Likely. On the other hand, Schank wouldn't be in this movie -- or known at all -- if it wasn't for "American Movie."

latest, but "Happiness" is a classic. Great performances, brilliant handling of perhaps the most difficult subject. Now, for cruelty that is intended, see "The Dinner Game." An extremely funny French film with a bite that draws arterial blood.
