A Blazing Saddles-style spoof, My Big Fat Independent Movie takes aim at cinema's sacred cow – the independent film. Meet Johnny Vince (Darren Keefe), a swingin' hepcat and trombone player who crosses paths with chatty hitmen Sam (Neil Barton) and Harvey (Eric Hoffman), who mistakenly believe Johnny to be the third member of their gang, assembled by their evil crime boss to pull a "botched robbery" in Las Vegas. Along the way, they take a beautiful hostage – the lovely, lonely cashier Julianne (Paget Brewster). Little do they know that she will forever changes their pathetic lives. During the journey our foursome encounter their share of freaks including a bald genius, a forgetful thug, rabbis on a mission, Pete Jones, and lots of lesbians. No one is spared in this well-deserved swipe at the conventions of indie filmmaking. [More]

While the movie at times feels very low budget and unrefined, I think this is the attribute that makes this film such a good parody of indie films.
