He won the competition because they thought he'd make the most drama not because they thought he was the best filmmaker. This is a reality show, not an actual documentary program. They lied on the air about certain things (like them picking the location at the last minute because Jason couldn't make up his mind—it was…

Also I'd like to point out he has said in interviews he is 100% happy with the film except with the coloring and thinks the critics are wrong.

Not in most film schools if you're a directing major. (In mine they did)

He's not talented. This film did absolutely nothing right. Besides even if he WAS talented, there are millions of talented people that don't succeed attitude and rep are way more important than talent and this show and movie really hurt his rep. Second ambition means absolutely nothing. I've known people so ambitious…

I don;t think the car accident scene even fit with the story. Hell I don;t think ANY scene fit with ANY of the other scenes.

We must have been watching two different shows because I didn't see him taking advice. i don;t think he's ever going to get an opportunity like this again though, considering how epic this failed with both critics and in the ratings. Maybe he'll make an indie hit and prove me wrong, but I think he's destined to never…

Fair enough. A film can can be professionally made and not well made that is true.

Your last statement is correct. The director has no say in how money is spent, unless they are a producer as well.

Not Another Pretty Woman was not Farrlly's script. No one knows who wrote it but it wasn't Farrelly. Can't count the number of times I've said that.

No it's hard to tell the end product will be UNTIL you see the end product is what CFAmick meant.

I think you are very wrong, He didn't listen to a single person who gave him advice even though all of them were more experienced than him and he didn't listen to the test audience. Why would he listen to critics? Besides I doubt he'll ever get the opportunity to make a film this big again.

Polanski is the worst human being Hollywood has ever produced. Disney was the second. I love Chinatown and Mary Poppins. It has nothing to do with how unlikeable the people who made the film are, the movie was terrible.

No, it's god awful. Not the worst movie of the year, but pretty terrible. Sometimes though, kinda terrible is WORSE than really terrible, because really terrible can be dismissed outright or laughed at because of how pathetic it is (The Room) this movie wasn't bad enough for either of these which makes it WORSE than a…

Jason didn't make the short film, his friend did.

Jason chose two locations that fell through early on. It wasn't his fault he got the location late. The show didn't show the real reason he got the location late. I read this on Ifilm.

Javert not Joubert.

She hired a few Latinos too.

Her company has been called Duly Noted for years.

EVERY film does reshoots saving money is what every producer does. Effie was doing nothing abnormal or unethical there. Lying about the stunt on the other hand and arguing with Peter Farrelly were both unprofessional.

According to one website I read Jason chose two locations that fell through before the final one they chose. So reality show editing comes through.
