Let's encourage people to make fools of themselves -- then mock them when they act foolishly!

A small but droll big-box comedy.

It's obviously more fun to watch Czech Dream than it was to experience the deception firsthand.

fresh:
The film wavers between nervous dread for the unsuspecting public and sheer gall at the number of consultants who agreed to help sell something nonexistent (for money, of course).

In the post-Morgan Spurlock era of stunt docs, the open-endedness is welcome.
