Subject: This is my kind of wit!

I liked this a lot! The very dry delivery was the perfect contrast to the acting. An extreme mime that throws punches in the air and accidentally hits someone? That's my kind of wit.

Subject: Good stuff!

was intresting to see a canadian tourist and his ideas in such an american video game.

Reviewer: Joey Nukes - - October 28, 2006
Subject: Interesting

It was very very dull. I thought it would be interesting but I was wrong. Not much really happens in this. But it was a good time passer for extreme cases of boredom. Not recommended for impatient people.

Subject: Day out

I met the protagonist of this film by accident when I was camping in Liberty the year before last.

Subject: Simple and Witty Spoof

Ah, there's no reference to the main character being gay or strait. That comment in nonsense. This interesting machinima film shot in GTA3, is a witty spoof that tries to show what it would be like if a Canadian tourist decided to visit Liberty City. While the visuals are a bit crude (it's just the game screen) and the film is too long, the writing and performance are wonderfully droll and witty. Especially during the last half of the film when the narrator (the canadian tourist) ends up in the hospital and has to busk as a "macho mime artist" to get some money.

The film ends too abruptly, but I found myself laughing and enjoying this fun film very much. Think of it as a Saturday Night Live skit; not well rehearsed, but performed with passion and fun. Very good film.

Subject: I hate it

It's GTA 3 through the eyes of a gay guy. The makers of GTA 3 would probably vomit if they say this pathetic film. ^_^

I thought it would be entertaining, but not much happens. I like the idea though.
