From the wonderfully offbeat mind of director Jared Hess comes a delightfully quirky comedy that celebrates the awkward, passionate spirit of young creators. The film centers on Benjamin Purvis, a sweetly earnest teenage aspiring sci-fi writer played by Michael Angarano, who lives in a fantastical world of his own imagination with his eccentric mother, played by Jennifer Coolidge. Benjamin’s life takes a bizarre turn when he attends a fantasy writing camp and his beloved novel "Yeast Lords: The Bronco Years" is stolen by a pompous, washed-up author named Dr. Ronald Chevalier, portrayed with delicious arrogance by Jemaine Clement. As Chevalier adapts Benjamin’s story into a film, the narrative splinters into hilariously low-budget, cheese-tastic movie-within-a-movie sequences featuring Sam Rockwell as the heroic, mullet-sporting Bronco. With its deadpan humor, awkward social interactions, and a loving tribute to the cringe-worthy yet heartfelt world of amateur creativity, this PG-13 comedy explores the painful, funny, and ultimately triumphant journey of a young artist finding his voice amid a sea of pretentiousness and misunderstanding.
