True, but in this case, they're right. This documentary is terrible. They tried to paper over it with a fair amount of semi-celebrities in the commentary and on the special features, but the doc itself is ham-handedly edited, and for something that took over 3 years to complete, should be tighter than this thing is. There's really no through-line here, and the way the characters are presented really ISN'T all that flattering, or compelling, or even all that interesting. I'd like to see a fan doc that actually adds a different dimension to the people in line besides the over-obvious "dorkumentary" angle that every documentary plays to the hilt, this one included. It's like even the subjects of these things are more than happy to marginalize themselves as much as possible.

The LiningUp.tv doc already looks to be a lot funnier, shot much better, and full of more interesting people.
