** The film's release on Vimeo on Demand. $5 to rent, and $10 to purchase. A good chunk of people argued that he ought to make the film free to watch mainly because it was crowd-funded, while many others are ok with paying to watch it and even argued that this took the most amount of effort yet (especially if you've been following his updates) and is worthy of those prices.

** A few shots involving miniatures look very "off" because they feature a shallow depth of field, which is only possible when the subject is very close to the camera. Miniature effects are generally shot with a deep depth of field because it creates the illusion of greater size and distance.

* StrangledByTheRedString: The [[spoiler:Cooper/Mandi]] at the end came from where?! She only used him to get close to the Nerd and he accused her of being a DoubleAgent and left her to possibly die, romance was not in the movie.

* EndingFatigue: A complaint that has cropped up from some is that the film runs too long (about 2 hours) and could've been cut in some places.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The Nerd bringing and using a record player in his car makes for a hilariously exaggerated DiscoDan gag, but some very vintage cars (i.e. A 1960 Dodge Polara) actually ''did'' come with (optional) record player attachments.

Not YMMV. I'm moving it to the main page.


* BrokenAesop: The point of the Nerd's character arc is to learn that his over protection was making him sound like Dark Onward and he doesn't need to protect his fans from bad games like Eee-Tee. While the Nerd does do the Eee-Tee review at the end, it's only after every copy of Eee-Tee is assured to be leaving earth forever, [[ShaggyDogStory meaning that he's only accepted that he doesn't need to protect his fans after the thing he was protecting them from was already gone forever]].

* PanderingToTheBase: The whole point of the film is The Nerd finally doing a review of the infamous "E.T." Atari game, which he finally does at the end of the film. Surprisingly, [[spoiler: he doesn't actually consider it the worst game ever made, and even points out that Atari's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was more cryptic than their "E.T." game!]].

* The quality of the movie itself. Some thought it was an amazing film with nonstop funny moments, great acting and characters, and were happy James achieved his dream of being a filmmaker. Others thought it was a trainwreck that didn’t live up to the initial hype with a convoluted plot, bad special effects, and found it to be a pathetic excuse to finally review the infamous [=E.T.=] video game. There’s also a [[TakeAThirdOption third, smaller group]] who thought it was [[SoOkayItsAverage competently made]], but otherwise a generic road trip movie.
