Wow, Joe has got problems. He works at a video rental store and all he wants to do is watch movies. So it's not totally surprising that when he falls asleep watching a DVD, he wakes up to a bizarre world where he is an action hero and his life plays like a movie trailer--complete with narration! Joe is confused and overwhelmed, but somehow he manages to become the hero that he is destined to become! The film is a cute and very well made film. It pokes gentle fun at many films and is quite entertaining. The only thing I didn't like was how the movie made me think about my own obsession about films. So far, 6500 reviews on IMDb and counting. Perhaps I am the next Joe! Perhaps I should take a day off and go fishing.

It explores realms beyond the boundaries of reality, featuring elements such as magic, mythical creatures, supernatural powers, and fantastical settings. These stories can take place in entirely fictional worlds or blend fantastical elements with real-world settings.
