So much potential!

I saw this movie when it first came out and I had a high amount of expectations. The cast is first rate as it contains some amazing Canadian improv actors(Wes Borg,Jacob Banigan,Tom Edwards) with some famous cameos(Colin Mochrie,Ron Pederson) and the quality looked exceptional along with all the local hype but........ after a funny first half it really didn't sustain a feature length movie running time. I grew up where the movie was made and tried hard to find positives although I think only cutting 20 minutes could have made it more enjoyable. The couple sitting beside me walked out and my girlfriend who I admit is not an improv fan tried to leave as well. The film for those who give it a chance does show a great future for those involved because this movie felt like a work in progress to better projects. I look forward to continued features from this production group.
