Not Another Not Another Movie is a 2011 comedy film directed by David Murphy. The movie is a satirical take on the movie industry and its tropes, mocking the formulaic and cliched plotlines that several films tend to follow. The film features a star-studded cast, including David Leo, Ellie Gerber, James Piper, and many others. The plot revolves around Ellie (played by Ellie Gerber), a young and ambitious production assistant who works for a struggling movie studio. She is tasked with creating a film that would breathe new life into the dying studio, but she is stuck with a lack of creativity and an inexperienced crew. Ellie's boss, Donnie (David Leo), gives her the ultimatum that the studio's future lies in her hands and needs her to deliver something amazing. Ellie, in desperation, turns to a veteran director, C.J. Waters (James Piper), who has already directed the studio's most successful films in the past.

C.J. is a washed-up director who is suffering from overshadowing by his past success. He, too, is stuck with lack of inspiration in the script and the actors, and his style and methods are becoming outdated. He agrees to work on the project only with a few conditions, including total creative control, casting rights, and even the power to replace any crew member at will.

C.J.'s presence only adds to the chaos unfolding in the studio as he refuses to let anyone else tamper with his vision for the film. The studio is full of quirky and eccentric characters, each bringing their own problems to the fray. There is Chad (Austin Anderson), a struggling actor who is always trying to impress his girlfriend. There is also Pauly Shore, who plays a movie executive with an obsession with dolphins.

The film parodies several well-known movie genre clichés, including those in action, romance, and drama. The director, David Murphy, pokes fun at the overused dialogue, predictable plot twists and the absurd and over-the-top characters that are so often seen in today's cinema.

The satire is not limited to movies alone. The film also takes jabs at the reality television industry. There is a hilarious sequence where the crew decides to use animals instead of using human actors for the film. They accidentally end up catching wild animals instead of the ones they intended to use during the shoot. The animals run amok, causing destruction and mayhem, making many references to popular TV show Jackass.

The movie also features a hilarious and obscene cameo appearance from an internationally famous Hollywood star, which is kept reserved as a surprise element for viewers to enjoy.

Not Another Not Another Movie's script is snappy, witty, and has a lot of movie references that are sure to get some laughs from movie buffs. The humor is good-natured, tongue-in-cheek, and never takes itself too seriously. The film's characters are all lovably eccentric and the performances are fantastic.

The cinematography is excellent, featuring several stylistic choices, including split-screen compositions and exaggerated angles. The editing captures the film's frenzied atmosphere well, with the film jumping between scenes, genres and characters without missing a beat.

Overall, Not Another Not Another Movie is an entertaining ride that delivers a brilliant satire of Hollywood's often outrageous conventions. The film is perfect for those who love movies and can appreciate the industry's humor and quirks from afar. The movie shows that even in a field where creative originality is often lacking, there's still room for those who dare to stand out and try something new.
