The Great World of Sound

Interesting film about two salesmen, opposites (shy/outgoing, white/black), who get unwittingly sucked into a bunco scheme to defraud aspiring unsigned musicians. The acting in this film, especially these two lead actors is superb.

Money, not talent, is the only pre-requisite for these amateur singers and players to get signed. Much of the film features auditions in cheap hotel rooms featuring non-actors unaware of the project for which they were being filmed. This becomes obvious as the endless cringe-worthy performances pile up...no screenwriter could ever write so much dreck.

Even though it started slowly, the film gradually becomes better until the payoff. Definitely worth a shot if you like the indie-film vibe combined with watch multiple slow moving train wrecks. The movie is a thought-provoking survey of what motivates people's behavior.
