NBT: Never Been Thawed was extremely funny. "Documenting" a group of Arizona frozen food enthusiasts, it was a loving send-up of obsessive collecting: A Best in Show for the collectibles market. The showing was rather late at night after a full day of work, so I was pretty inclined to fall asleep. Yet the film kept me engaged and amused for the entire length.

True, there were a some over-the-top moments, but so much of it set just the right balance between real and ridiculous. For example, the radio morning show scenes had me completely in stitches because not only was it funny but I've seen just that dynamic. There were also some pretty poigniant moments for a mockumentary. The cast really had a handle on their parts, and it was excellent acting from a group of amatuers.

Very cool news is that so far it has been picked up by an Arizona theater chain for a regional run, so it may possibly go somewhere. Good luck to the filmmakers.
