He soon decides that his goal is to make a film, and to not only enter, but to win the prestigious Sundance Film Festival, because as he says at one point in the film "how hard can that be?"

This is slight stuff, but the legions of budding Scorseses and Kevin Smiths might actually learn a little something, and they will certainly enjoy a chortle or two -- even if it is at their own expense.

Village Voice
Amy Taubin
An Indiewood spoof that's more winning than anyone who wasn't a close friend of the director could possibly expect, R2PC satirizes not only wannabe auteurs but also that overworked genre, the faux documentary, while functioning as a credible study guide for Filmmaking 101.

New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
If you want to make a film, this is a great place to start. But if you just want to watch one, it's more of dead end.

TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Hugely smug and annoying.

The New York Times
A.O. Scott
The intentionally self-conscious style of R2PC is a little hard to take sometimes because the movie is trying too hard to be funny.

12
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
A pointless, wincingly snide exercise.
