Nerdland

2016 · 83 min

A loud, crude, joke-a-second cartoon ride that satirizes fame culture with gleeful, juvenile energy and a surprisingly bleak edge.

Overview: Aspiring actor John and wannabe screenwriter Elliot are slacker best friends who have seen their dreams of stardom fizzle. With their 30th birthdays looming, they set out on a mission to become famous in the 24/7, celebrity-obsessed world. Through it all, our disheartened duo inadvertently become key witnesses in a high profile crime that sets the news cycle on fire, making them household names... but only if they can survive the infamy and worldwide shame.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, cynical and campy. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Celebrity, media, ambition, friendship
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence and gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
