* PanderingToTheBase: The whole point of the film, both in-universe, and in real life, is The Nerd finally doing a review of the infamous "E.T." Atari game, which he finally does at the end of the film. Surprisingly, [[spoiler: he doesn't actually consider it the worst game ever made, and even points out that Atari's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was more cryptic than their "E.T." game!]]

Added DiffLines:

* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: Invoked. Obviousy, they can't use the exact title "E.T.", so the game is constantly spelled as "EE TEE", and the video game graphic shows E.T. with a mustache.

Added DiffLines:

* SpecialEffectsFailure / StylisticSuck: Played straight, and PlayedForLaughs. One pretty bad special effect occurs when The Nerd, Cooper, and Mandy try to cross [[ItMakesSenseInContext a stream of lava]], that is obviously CGI, and the actress playing Mandy actually ''steps in the lava a few steps'' before jumping on the platform! Other examples are deliberate to invoke laughs, such as the toy models for the van, and tank.

Not only are the moments not called \"crowning\" anymore, but they only go on YMMV pages for works.


Since the movie is independent, James made an Indiegogo to raise money, with a goal of $75,000. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome About four months after the campaign was started, fans had raised over $325,000]], becoming the 2nd highest online fan-funded movie ever.
