It was worse than bad.
It actually came across as a rehearsal, with people, (who weren't trained actors), who had just come in off the street to audition. Some of the auditions were held at a location apparently near a beach resort. It looked like the camera crew were all trainees filling in for the real ones, and they were told to just press the button to start the camera when the director said to, and press it again to stop. They seemed to have been given totally free rein to use the cameras in any way they felt like, and being amateurs, they did just that..
But all of that didn't really matter anyway, because the script the people were asked to read was apparently a prank. I suspect the director wanted to hit back at critics who said his movies were bad by making a truly bad film.
And when he had all those audition film clips, he gave them to a junior trainee Editor to edit. The trainee must have been apprehensive when he finally presented the finished edit to him, because of the director's previous reputation. But he needn't have worried, because the director obviously gave it a pass, and his dreadful film was released.
This film isn't a movie - it's a symptom...
