NERDLAND is the story of two best friends, aspiring screenwriter ELLIOT and aspiring actor JOHN, whose dreams of super-stardom have fizzled. With their 30th birthdays looming and their desperation growing, John and Elliot decide that in this 24/7, celebrity-obsessed world of over-shared navel-gazing, there are more ways to become famous -- or infamous -- then ever before. So why not become famous TODAY? NERDLAND is that day. Making up for what they lack in brains and talent with abundant, witless enthusiasm, John and Elliot troll Los Angeles on a fame-grab journey, encountering and abusing friends both new and old. Navigating their hyper-stimulating landscape of consumerism gone wild, our two consumers want desperately to be consumed -- and they will have their FAME, no matter what the cost.
Leave your thoughts about Nerdland.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfTests of skill and the implementation of bad ideas are amusing, offering satisfying timing and unpredictable results, getting "Nerdland" up to speed with a broad sense of humor |
| Under the RadarCody Ray ShaferAndrew Kevin Walker's (Se7en) script is solid and the jokes shamelessly crude, making Nerdland a trusted entry into the canon of animated cult films like Heavy Metal or Fritz the Cat. |
| Screen InternationalWendy IdeAlthough the gags hit home throughout – as they should, with such a broad target – the script loses focus slightly in the final twenty minutes. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAside from a supporting turn by Hannibal Buress as a king-of-the-geeks character, the film's most diverting ingredients are its aggressively crude character design and its sickly color palette. |
| VarietyNick SchagerWith a scuzzy style to match its sleazeball vision of spotlight desperation and depravity, this Tinseltown satire — led by voice work from Paul Rudd and Patton Oswalt — revels in the foulness of 21st-century pop culture, albeit to a degree that’s ultimately both exhausting and redundant. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkUnfortunately Nerdland doesn’t offer many surprises. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldGross-out, violent cartoon satire has nudity, cursing. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasIt's hard not to get your hopes up while seeing the names in the credits, including Paul Rudd, Patton Oswalt, Hannibal Buress and Kate Micucci. But those hopes get dashed, fast and hard. |
| We Got This CoveredLauren Humphries-BrooksMuch like its central characters, Nerdland is a dismal, unfunny failure, wasting all its potential and entirely unaware that it is every bit as stupid as the stupid people it so despises. |
| Slant MagazineKenji FujishimaThe film exudes a self-satisfied smugness in its unvaried focus on the worst of human behavior. |
