... but I just can't call it good.
It has the feel of a series of skits with a common theme than a real story. Almost as if a bunch of the preceeding segments in Willems's videos had been gobbled together to form a movie.
There are good moments here and there, and I do like the main characters. Despite this, it feels like exactly what it is: a YouTuber trying to fulfill their dream of becoming a filmmaker. The history of that has not been good and while this is better than most (which isn't saying much), it isn't anything relevatory or game-changing. (Although, bonus points for Willems's parents, obviously.)
While I don't necessarily expect a comedy to be laugh out loud funny, the jokes in this one just mostly fall completely flat. Not being that funny isn't necessarily a problem, if the jokes (or just a mood) support a great story, but since that isn't the case here, the jokes mostly just work against any kind of immersion.
