Rating by Cara Buckingham:
4--Pretty Good

What was it that you liked or didn't like about the movie?
It moved a little slow at times, there are parts that could have been condensed. During the public meeting scene it was too preachy about the first amendment. There was too much swearing - swearing is okay but loses its impact when used in a monologue. (Gary's video of himself in the hotel room for example.)

What scene stands out in your mind? Was it good, or bad?
I really liked when Lance and Helen do the scene by the car. (Lance chasing car, etc.)

Which was your favorite character? Why?
Lance - Goofy with a good comedic delivery


Rating by Royce Scott Buckingham:
4--Pretty Good

What was it that you liked or didn't like about the movie?
Humor was most effective when played straight. The profanity actually detracted from the film. Technically the sound has some improvements that could be made.

What scene stands out in your mind? Was it good, or bad?
Cast party was a weaker scene while inside the party. Any scene that was all yelling could also be strenghtened. I enjoyed the interviews with the characters.

Which was your favorite character? Why?
Lance, who was believably naive.

Any additional comments for the students who participated in GONZO:
Cut the script by a half hour or more to quicken the pace. The sound problems with some of the voice-overs were distracting.

The scene that stands out.....was when he they are pretending to fuck each other. It is pretty good. Also some of the cock and cum shots are delightful.

Which was your favorite character? Why?

It was hilarious at times, but slowed too much toward the end. It would be great if it keep up the fast pace of the beginning.

The scene were they were shooting facial close-ups and Nick fakes some doggy-style action with Angeline by using the pillow was beautifully done!
