Courage and Stupidity - watch the first 8min + new review

Posted by:
Our friends from The DreamworksFanSite reviewed Darin Backstead's movie "Courage and Stupidity". Courage & Stupidity is a comedy inspired by Steven Spielberg and his early years as an up and coming filmmaker.

Set in the early 1970's, Steven has a major studio deal to direct a movie about a killer shark and is confident that his experience will be a breeze. Conflicts arise after Steven and his pal George (based on George Lucas) accidentally destroy the movie’s main prop--a mechanical shark.

The next day, the giant fish sinks to the ocean floor and it looks as if the director's career has gone with it. Steven must stop the film's producers from pulling the plug and find a way to make his monster movie without a monster.

Although inspired by public information, the truth is that Mr. Spielberg has never harmed nor would he ever harm a mechanical fish.

The story unravels with a tragic accident involving the mechanical shark. The mishap leads Steven to panic and eventual guidance from George. What I love about this film the most is the subtle references in dialogues and props to majority of Spielberg films, not to mention the very subtle reference to Spielberg's wife Kate Capshaw.
