No, that isn't a typo - this is not a review for the summer 2011 film "I am Number 4" but rather another short film found in the bowels of the internet. Where this deserves to stay.

The film begins with a pretty interesting idea, what if the guy that usually plays the bumbling idiot gets to be the big star for once in his life. Then it takes that idea behind the shed, holds it down, and makes it eat its spit. Andy is, like most people in California not smoking all of the legal weed they can get their hands on, trying to make it big. He has had several roles allowing him a foot in the door but he is always casted as the bumbling idiot. On the day that he decides to tell the producer of his biggest opportunity to forcibly insert the role up his anus - coinciding perfectly with Andy's birthday, he is magically turned into Bob Saget's bitch . . . . John Stamos.

Well not exactly, he only looks like Stamos on camera, meaning he can "ruin" Stamos' "career" but he can't use it to get laid. Seriously at one point in the film, when he's doing a scene for his bastardized sitcom, a model can't kiss Andy until she looks at the monitor and gets the picture of her and Stamos making out in her head. I joke that he could ruin Stamos' career mostly because this short basically ruins it for him.

This video does absolutely nothing to bring something new to cinema. The idea is alright but not all that special . . . oooh a film about a loser wanting to be cool this is SOOOO original (sarcasm). The shots are cliche, the jokes are so overused that if they were prostitutes, throwing hotdogs down a hallway would be a compliment.

I don't like to give the ending away, this is my spoiler alert kids, if you care to watch this its roughly 18 minutes long so feel free. The ending was obvious, the producer and Andy kill the real Stamos to keep their sitcom and make them that money but when they get Andy in front of the camera he is seen with a bullet hole and blood on his face. The make-up budget was $3 dollars. But this brings and interesting idea . . . will the camera Stamos age and slowly deteriorate - like a creepy version of Dorian Gray? Does all of the old footage show up with the hole? Will this thing ever end? Did anyone tell Saget that Stamos got out of his gimp suit and is making films again?

The answer to the last one is yes.
