Well, I made it halfway through convinced that I was watching some sort of brilliant Spinal Tap-ish mockumentary, but then I finally started getting the feeling that it wasn't a mockumentary at all, and it was a serious documentary about a real guy. So I paused to check and I couldn't believe it. I didn't get as much of a kick out of the second half, after I knew that it wasn't some sort of black comedy.
