Best F(r)iends Volume 1
Jon Kortina is a young whose fate puts him in the way of a weird mortician called Harvey Lewis. Jon was searching for a job and Harvey offers him a work in his mortuary. By passing time together, they become friends and start a new business together selling golden things that they collect from the dead's teeth.

The cinematography is half-way decent, the performances that aren't Wiseau's are enjoyable in the traditional sense, and the film moves at a steady clip, with no issues in continuity or plot.

To really enjoy this picture, one must require severe acclimatisation to the 'so bad it's good' style of filmmaking, the only discernible way to get the most out of Justin MacGregor's tame debut.

Tone deaf at almost every turn, Best F(r)iends won't have the same legs as The Room but could offer a night of fun with some of your closest f(r)iends. It's terrible.
