Midsummer Night's Run
There is exactly enough wrong with this that you will have fun making the usual fun and enough right that watching it won't feel like actual torture... but you will have a lot of questions and I have exactly zero answers to any of them
What it is at its core: A "fantasy creatures enter urban setting" type deal, where the main character is meant to be redeemed.. but is not given enough backstory to pull it off? And cgi is spent on tricks that add flair... but no distinction between fairies, gnomes, and elves? Except the elf ears. The differing types of magic seem to be the difference but we don't actually get how magic works in all this..
Good (?) Reasons:
-There is exposition existing, but it always answers questions that you do not have.
-There is a character that is a director self-insert and it very gloriously does not match anything else to do with the film. Also camo pants? Also why that accent? Is it wings or a jetpack?? (Why didnt you choooose????? One or the other??)
-Several of the actors do a phenomenal job at actually acting and the fight choreography was just great, but it is clear that they did not have much to go off of. Which means you have a variety of actor problems other than just "can't act" so you have some nice choices.
Bonus: the best fake acting scene (character acts badly on purpose)
Lesser luxuries:
-camera quality otherwise good, so you won't have problems with actual movie quality from a... i want to say technical but can't say that... uhh.. equipment standpoint?
-only one song in the movie that wasn't free, so getting the permission to do rifftraxs should be less hard because you only have to ask them and that one band
-Based in actual philly. But also pretend philly.

Weird that this doesn't even have an IMDb page. Found the director's IMDb page.
