Hi, Everyone,I have just watched the DVD of L.A. D.J. and I will send my bouquets to all the cast and the crew. This one is worth watching.The actors are all likable and we probably have met someone like each of these people at some point in our lives. I like the mom and the security guard at the disco door and the nurse and the deejay on the Razor scooter and all the grandmas and kids and creeps who show up in Tom and Tim's lives. Tim and Tom might be the Laurel and Hardy of the late night music scene. They have a smiling ineptitude that gives those of us in the audience a chance to see how smart we are. We know who will fall in love with whom before they can figure it out.Steve McQueen's first real movie success gave no hint of the parts he would play in later years. His debut starring role was in "The Blob." It was a good movie but Steve quickly did totally different roles. That might be the case with Tom and Tim. They might do more zany comedy or either of them might find a bigger role just beyond the rainbow.Hollywood will not roll out a red carpet for independent filmmakers these days. Maybe Tim and Tom will find a red linoleum leading into the back door of some awards show that recognizes what this movie represents. This is real movie making that could catapult these two past the Hollywood glamour boys of today. Excellent photography, casting and background locations. There are a lot of little laughs if you look for them or listen for them. All the cast members do a great job, which means there was good direction happening too.Tom Willett aka Yonhope

You are not looking at the film from the right frame of mind. The reason your reactions are so strong are the same reasons why you should rent the movie again. You clearly don't get it. It's a different kind of film in a time when everything is special effects and vampires. This is the type of movie you have to read between the lines on. That's why I'm fairly certain the two negative comments below are part of a smear campaign. They are simply trying to stunt the growth of the film in the DVD market. It ain't gonna happen guys. I got news for you.... there are far too many people in our corner. I have received personal messages and witnessed peoples reactions in theaters and screenings all over the world. And yes, some people don;t get it. Because they are not dialing into the humor. Then there are other people who catch on and think it's the funniest movie they have seen in a long time. Well, please tell everyone you know how bad my movie is, because if you are what I think, then it won't matter because nobody will believe you anyway. Which that's precisely why you write anonymously over the internet. If you have any courage at all, send me an email @[email protected]. Sincerely,Tim Producer

Just checked out this "little" gem of a comedy film : "LADJ"... Awesome movie and the not the "run of the mill" same old "formula" buddy film story you so often see these days!!!Thomas Ian Nicholas ("Rookie of the Year", "American Pie" fame) was terrific as were all the other cast members... It's what I like (and like to call)- a "great small movie"- more "character driven" with great writing rather than a bunch of mindless violence and big-budget special effects.... This movie gets my vote for becoming the next big sleeper hit ( a la "My Big Fat Greek Wedding") Check it out..... ASAP!!!!!

Got a chance to see this flick at the Vail Film Fastival while I was in the States. Nearly fell off my chair a couple of times. The guy that played Kevin in the American Pie movies is in it. (Was he the guy from Rookie of the Year??). Damn funny stuff.Anyway... cool soundtrack, decent performances all round, great story line. It's actually a pretty original story, which is a nice change from the usual re-hash movies we get these days. It's really weird that a bigger studio didn't pick it up.Go see it as soon as possible.
