This is a witty and funny film about a supermarket bag boy who struggles to be the best at his craft. As such, it's also a spoof of American competitiveness in business and sports, and a good example of the mockumentary genre. The voice-over, talking heads, location shooting, and cameo appearance from Bob Costas all contribute to a convincing documentary tone. The Costas appearance itself mocks various clichés of sportscasting and American heroism.
Good, clean production values, especially for a student film. Also fun if you're a fan of Kal Penn (from his pre-Harold and Kumar days), though his role is small and not that important to the film.
