The book is praised for its practical advice and entertainment value, making it a valuable resource for independent filmmakers. However, some critics note that it lacks depth and is not as comprehensive as other books on the subject.

The book is highly regarded for its practical tips and humorous tone, which makes it an enjoyable read for aspiring filmmakers. Reviewers appreciate the real-world advice and the importance placed on insurance and professionalism. However, some feel that the book does not go into enough detail and is not as helpful as other books in the series. Overall, it is seen as a good starting point for those new to film production, but may not be sufficient for more experienced producers.

Quick quotes

    It offers a lot of good suggestions.

    The only reason why I gave it four instead of five stars is that he pushes using non-union cast and crew.

    I just didn't think it was as good or helpful as 'Make your own damn movie'.
