The cast is generally very good and they do a decent job of taking jabs at the genre convention scene. It's silly, goofy, but definitely worth watching.

Never been to a con, but this movie hits every negative stereotype of an auditorium of obnoxious costumed weirdos with no social skills visually and audibly polluting the world. How someone could think that was worth putting on film was the only interesting part of this endlessly painful experience. Zero stars for everyone and everything involved in this travesty.

I found this film pretty amusing, I suspect the actual convention stuff in the background is not to far from the truth for the celebrities trawling the world signing articles, taking photos with the fans and doing their meet and greets. The characters in this film are the bottom feeders whose faces and long forgotten shows fill up that space on the poster. For some it could be the only work they get all year. The main characters are pretty unlikeable, foul mouthed and idiots. This is a film where yo don't give a damn if they get away with the heist or end up in jail, for a change no sides have to be picked. There is not even sympathy for the character begging for a wet wipe.'when I say Skat, I mean get away' it's the funniest line I've heard for a long time. The film is worth watching if you stumble across it, if you go looking for it maybe a disappointment .

Enjoyable ride, cheesy but fun. Great gift con goers :)

The story centers on former child actor Keith Mahar (Russell Peters) who played Haji, the "bald cancer kid" in a camp 80's production. He is financially strapped and extremely down on his luck. He meets fellow "stars" at a "Supercon" convention in the south. They all dislike Adam King (Clancy Brown) an egotistical super hero with certain Shatner qualities. John Malkovich comes into the feature at midpoint as a "Stan Lee" type of character. After an altercation our group of characters decide to go Danny Ocean on the Supercon. The film makes fun of both Comic-cons and Ocean type films with all fictional characters. It would have been nice to of had actors play themselves...so much for budget constraints. Film was funniest when it made fun of the conventions. Adam King goes on a SNL William Shatner rant. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Headline says pretty much everything that is necessary. Dick jokes here and there and a lazy plot to hold it together. 80s movie/TV stars past their prime try to rob a comic-con. Throw in an evil star that hates fans but brings money and the plot is pretty much covered. The heist is thrown in an ocean's eleven kind of way of throwing a few curve balls in a clever way, but the jokes get kinda annoying halfway through the film. It was watchable, but felt like it was just fastly put together. A current topic, with all the cons going around the world and few of them getting bad rep. If this was put together a bit better, this could have been good. Now it is left without anything special and will be forgotten before the year ends.

There's a good premise here, a forgotten child star seeking revenge on his terrible co-star. The faux retro shows they have come up with are pretty cool. Unfortunately, the plot is just bizarre and messy, the characters without heart, and the villain unbelievably vile and one-dimensional. The jokes are repetitious and almost compulsively bad taste. Most of them are awkward like a Ross Geller joke without laugh track because the editing doesn't support them either. Nor the sound design: Sometimes instrumental music drowns conversations that could be snappy and funny. The film seems to take a stand against greedy people exploiting nerds, but at the same time it seems to spite nerd culture. It never misses an opportunity to tell you how sweaty nerds are and that furries and * are weird. The cultural references seem forced. Like, we don't need to be told that a man hanging from the ceiling in a harness is a reference to Mission Impossible. And no "Game of Thrones" fan would say "you Game of Thrones Mountain wannabe". This film at least demonstrates the importance of script and post-production, because there are enought talent here to make a better movie.

This is a strange mess of a movie. It mocks comic-con culture, yet it's so deep into it that I don't even understand half the references. It's full of good actors, but their roles are disappointing and the editing is appalling. The entire movie grinds to a halt for excessively long scenes that don't have any relevance to the plot. Of all the mistakes made in this film, the editing is probably the worst.

God - or producers with an IQ over 90 - preserve us from writer/directors! This has good potential, particularly for anyone who likes comics and the comic con world. Galaxy Quest, anyone? But in spite of several good ideas, it just doesn't pull it off. Yes, you have to blame the script and the director. What a surprise, they're the same person! It does have a couple of saving graces, however. Maggie Grace is brilliant, as is Brandon Morales. And, for me, John Malkovich can do no wrong. Yes, not even here. Makes you wonder how they managed to get him on board, but he is known for doing quirky movies. So watch it for the stars, not the script or dialogue or, well, anything else,really...
