'Alan Smithee' is a film about a boy growing up. It delves into the darker side of what 'growing up' sometimes means: growing into your flaws, inevitably being met with the errors of your parents, and the necessity to make room for the pain. While Alan is surrounded by what is thought to be the American ideal, all the material comforts that should equate happiness, he learns that sometimes all we are is lost in the woods.

    Let's commission Alan Smithee to make the documentary! ;-)

    I've definitely noticed a huge increase in tangential slop when I've made the mistake of searching for books on Amazon in the last year.

    Isn't this one of those cases when the credits of a movie mention "Alan Smithee"?
