Mayflower! (2009)
Worth the trouble
After almost stopping the DVD after 10 or so minutes from some boredom, bad dialog and bad acting, the movie actually picked up some speed. I'd be willing to bet it was shot in-sequence, as it got better and better until the very end, where everyone seemed to run out of steam and the last sequence left me wondering where the energy went. However, the middle part of the film made it worth it, from the robbery scene where the robber leaves with less money than he came in with (my fav!) to the hallucination of Dirt and the Vagina Lady to the bartender's downward spiral - there's a solid middle section you might never get to if you can't stomach the fist ten to twenty minutes. I would not blame you if you turned it off, but you'd miss some funny stuff. 7/10 only because there's about 4 really good scenes you would never expect from an ultra-low budget flick with completely inexperienced actors and crew, a bunch of mediocre ones you would expect (and one really bad one with the "security guard" that's not even unintentionally funny and was left in probably because they shot 83 minutes and needed 83 minutes of footage.) 4/10 if this was a bigger production. I doubt they spent as little as $250 on this film as IMDb claims, but even if they spent $2500, it was impressive that anything sensible came out at all, yet alone some genuine laugh-out-loud moments.
