Big Fan was a big surprise. "TIED FOR FIRST PLACE" "EAGLES SUCK" I seriously thought that he was going to kill Phil from Philly at the end of the movie; I lost it when it was just paint. He plays such a great character because the whole time he seems so unstable that you don't know what he is going to do. I didn't know if he was going to move to Philly and become an Eagles fan, go sociopath and kill Phil, I didn't know if he was going to tell on the quarterback when he for some odd reason called the cop back to meet with him. It was just great.
His relationship with his family is also awesome. He only cares about the Giants and football, but his mother and siblings just don't get it. His brother wants him to sue, and he doesn't understand why he is obsessed over this quarterback. He is part of this talk radio world where he has an identity as "Paul from Staten Island" and this is the only place his fan-ship gets recognized. I would have loved to see a reaction on the radio station to his ultimate punk of Phil from Philly.
I'm going to give this movie 3.5 stars out of 5. Thats pretty good on my scale. Patton Oswalt was unbelievable.

Extra Credit: Fred
Fred is ridiculous, but genius. I don't know how he started getting millions of views at the beginning, but once he got millions of views more and more people wanted to watch his videos. Once your channel gets the buzz you can only go up. His character is entertaining; he has a high voice, the videos are always fast, his mom's voice is a man's voice and some of his stories are hilarious.
When someone gets such a big fan base it is easy to get so many views even if the video isn't that good. Fred's fan base is huge. He started with a couple hit videos with millions of views. When anyone looking on YouTube sees a video with millions of views, that alone is enough intrigue to check out someones channel. A lot of people aren't going to like Fred's material, but with that many people looking and checking out his channel, some people will like it and his fan base will continue to grow. This is where Fred can take things even further by selling t-shirts to mainstream businesses like PacSun.
Like I said before, if Fred continues to make videos, his YouTube popularity can only go up. He has found a niche in the YouTube world that people are entertained by and you can't really hate on his hustle. I personally wouldn't go on and watch Fred's videos, but if people like him then good for him. he is clearly making money of of his channel and his popularity is one of the more unique ones I've ever seen.
