Whether the 'Greenlight' gang intentionally gambled on the dark horses in the hopes of winding up with a more compelling TV show, we'll never know. But as interesting and informative as it would have been to watch a levelheaded and talented filmmaker tackle his or her first studio project, it would pale in comparison to 'Efram and Kyle's Big Adventure.'
