American Cannibal: The Road to Reality

You'll suspect, and even hope, that what's on screen is a hoax, but it seems to be at the very least one version of the truth.

Whatever the project's "reality," it's insightful as well as entertaining, and the inclusion of real interviews with people both inside and outside the business means it functions as both an intelligent critique and a dire warning.

The writers act shocked at how low they are stooping, but given their desire to write sitcoms, you have to wonder.

Fails to draw any conclusions and, thanks to legal issues, leaves too many questions unanswered.

What's here is a glimpse not into how far people will go to win a reality TV show, but how far greedy writers and producers will go to degrade, debouch and enrich themselves.

American Cannibal, something like the (mock-)doc equivalent of "The Producers," really, really should've been funnier.

The ineptly made Animal Cannibal isn't remotely convincing as reality, and worse, isn't remotely entertaining as fiction.
