When Terry discovers he's about to be a father, he does what any other sane person would do. He moves himself and his nine-months-pregnant wife from Iowa to Los Angeles to shoot a low-budget indie movie and sell it to a streamer. Documented by his cousin Devin's behind-the-scenes camera crew, Terry suddenly finds that his beliefs about diversity, the #MeToo movement, and what technically qualifies as a properly financed film production put him at odds with, well, every single person who meets him. Featuring a cast of comedy MVPs, Micro Budget follows Terry's disastrous attempts to make a disaster movie, and his inability to serve a decent lunch.

8.5/10

If anything, Evans’s film encourages an empathetic understanding of the challenges in indie filmmaking. Moviemaking is tough; sometimes you need to just laugh at all the idiosyncrasies of the process.

The people who made this are much better at convincing well-known people to make cameos than at any other aspect of filmmaking.

7.5/10

Micro Budget surprises with its sharpened sense of humor backed by cursed knowledge in the film industry, which will hit different based on your familiarity with it. But for those who need it, this is a therapeutic breath of fresh and rarified air.

3/5

"Micro Budget" is no blockbuster, but it is a very amusing film about a modern Ed Wood, filmmaker behind the notorious "Plan 9 from Outer Space."

2/5

Fans of "cringe comedy" will probably enjoy this ode to independent filmmaking, but others will find main character Terry endlessly aggravating and the jokes more gobsmacking than funny.
