This hilariously smart satire tells the story of Johnny Vince, a swingin' hepcat who meets hitman Sam and Harvey on a road trip to pull a "botched robbery" in Las Vegas. Along the way they take a deeply unfulfilled not-so-good-girl hostage, encounter the mysterious Mechanic, get harassed by a foul-mouthed answering machine... and did we mention the lesbians? The result - hilarity ensues!

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
This low-budget effort lacks the wit necessary to sustain its brief 80-minute running time.

My Big Fat Independent Movie is a frenetic attempt to spoof every major art-house film of the last decade.

rotten:
This painfully unfunny spoof promises to do for independent movies what Airplane! did for disaster movies, but mostly what My Big Fat Independent Movie does is demonstrate the ineptitude of its makers.

rotten:
It's a sour, petty act of mockery that values its own ineptitude over genuine cleverness, travestying Quentin Tarantino and others simply for dreaming up gimmicks that worked.

If you've seen all the above films, this will all sound just as silly as it is. If you haven't, it will just sound cuckoo.
