Gentleman Broncos

Gentlemen Broncos was written and directed by Jared Hess, it came out in 2009. It's a story about Benjamin, played by Micheal Angarano, who is an aspiring fantasy book writer. He goes to a writing convention for homeschooled kids called Cletus Fest, where his hero Dr. Ronald Chevalier ( Jemaine Clement) is speaking and doing work shops, as he is a great science fiction writer in the story. They hold a contest to see which story is best, judged by Chevalier, the winning person getting published. Benjamin leaves Cletus Fest early, and never gets his story, Yeast Lords, back. It turns out that Chevalier has stolen his story and made changes to it so that he wouldn't get caught and has had the story published.                         
                                                                        
Benjamin shows up at the book signing and accuses Chevalier of stealing his story and he ends up in jail on his birthday. Benjamin's mother comes to see him and she brings his birthday presents with her. One of them is a box full of all his stories that he had written throughout his life, including Yeast Lords, which had all been certified with the National Writer's Association. So in the end everything is made right; Chevalier and Benjamin both got what they deserved.
I would probably recommend this movie to anyone who liked Napolean Dynamite or Nacho Libre, movies like that. It is a totally pointless film, but it has its funny parts. In the movie, it goes between real life and what is going on in the story Yeast Lords. It shows the changes in the characters and the setting once Chevalier gets ahold of the manuscript and starts making changes.

  3. I think the best part of this post is your last paragraph, where you explain why you recommend it and what some similar movies are. Maybe you could incorporate that kind of commentary into your future posts.
