A team of investigative documentarians set out to follow the making of a late night, made-for-television Mature Movie, to capture an inside look at mainstream American movie practices and sensibilities at their lowest. Along the way they unexpectedly meet Armondo Jones, Bill Williams, and their 'crew of friends;' all first time Mature Movie makers who find themselves in a desperate struggle against their employers to bring social value to The Lone Rancher, a soft-core epic period piece they've been hired to write, direct and co-produce. As the production spins out of control, the team of friends sidesteps the studios contractual demands of sex and nuance, risking their jobs, in a game of cat-and-mouse, scraping to protect the 'important' love story they believe The Lone Rancher can provide. On this most unlikely of battlefields: a Mature Movie set in Northern California, the documentarians capture firsthand footage of what happens when opposing groups with fundamental differences try ...

Funny AND Meaningful!
If you have ever chased your dream... and felt the pressure fighting back against you... you will LOVE this movie! Just saw it at the Feel Good Film Festival and it was well received by the entire audience!! It was very funny and also well written, acted and the cinematography was gorgeous. All around very well done in every aspect. The message throughout was heartfelt and not even just in the words... it came through in the stillness of the film as well. In many ways this film could have gone distasteful, as it involves "mature movies". Yet it never did. It poked fun in all the right places and remained classy. It was interesting to see how "sex sells" in a movie and never once seeing nudity or it becoming gratuitous. Very clever.
Well written, thoughtful and funny!
This film is awesome. The writing is tight and clever. It is a hilarious look into the world of film making. I highly recommend it. Highly!!!! The main actors work extremely well together. It is obvious that a ton of time went into the production, preparation and rehearsals of the ensemble. The direction is smart and beautifully executed. The film takes a few daring twists that are both unexpected and wonderfully funny. The characters are clear and also wonderfully funny and endearing. The film takes a clear stance on following your dreams and how hard that can be sometimes. The director communicates with interview style soliloquy as well as beautifully shot scenes. Again, highly recommended. Can't wait to see what will come from this team in the future.
Funny, endearing and totally realistic in its fantasy.
Following the colloquialism, "it's funny 'cause its true," one finds a driving plot point to this film. Not found is the overdone, tried and used formulaic Hollywood prescription for comedy. No, "Eagles" writer Brent Florence has taken a much more difficult approach to comedy. And I think a more difficult approach to success. And he has found it. This film does not spit in the face of Hollywood and the film business, but rather offers an offhand compliment. The kind that reveals itself to be far more cutting than a direct insult. By offering his team and himself up for scrutiny within a storyline that pits them as the underdogs railing against the injustices of corporate greed and the loss of craft within the industry, Florence has placed himself squarely in the line of fire. A brave thing. I suspect much of this "mockumentary's" grit has been fertilized in the real world experiences of those involved with the project. What I find interesting is that, (as of this post) IMDb has rated the film at 1.9, whilst the vast majority of reviews and votes put the film at 9 and above. (Perhaps a practical joke from IMDb, a guffaw to offer praise to this heartwarming film?) I digress. Ignore the weightiness of my words. This film can be taken and enjoyed at a surface level like all the rest. It fits in a neat little wrapper, if you want it to. But the true glory of this film is that it can be enjoyed on a great many levels, and the deeper you go, the more "art"awaits you. I would give this film a 10, but I fear IMDb would use that against them. So 9 it is.
A Beautiful Movie
It feels very strange to describe any film about the Hollywood Porn (I mean Adult Entertainment) industry as heartwarming. But there was such a sweet, tenderness to the characters traveling through the gritty, unforgiving landscape of low budget film making in search of their creative dream! I was on the verge of crying most of the time. Except when I was guiltily laughing. I fell in love with the two main characters - their innocence and insistence - and felt personally linked to their journey from title to credits. Brilliantly written and elegantly performed. The characters were both funny and endearing - even the nasty ones I'd like to toss out the window. A great ensemble cast in the spirit of "A Mighty Wind","Best in Show" and "Little Miss Sunshine".
wonderful, endearing film with a lot of bite!
This is a terrific film with a completely fresh and unusual view of the world of "moneywood" where ideas are only used when they fit the long established tedious "formula" for economic success. this well written script brings a team of documenterians into the world of the mature film.What could be lower? It gets a little racy, but the humor and comedic lines give style and a new and refreshing face to the viewers experience. It's the battle for whats good and new, versus what's old and known. the protagonists try to make more than just another adult film...they are shooting for something bigger,better, inspiring through cinematic creativity. At every turn they are thwarted by a production company that long ago gave up the new, for a "formula movie" enforced by lawyers.The whole process is dutifully recorded by the documentary film team. It's funny, it's inspiring. Really a good film. We all become insiders. Eagles in the Chicken Coop could become the bible for all future film makers!
