In the tradition of "Waiting for Guffman" and "Take the money and Run," a documentary film crew follows the pitfalls and pratfalls of reality show winer Dennis Flotchky. One million dollars richer and 150 pounds lighter but none the wiser, Dennis quickly and hilariously falls victim to the machinations of the Hollywood celebrity maker and the vultures and hangers-on that accompany it. -- © Cineville Inc.

Reviews for Surviving Eden
Reality TV, says one character in Greg Pritikin's Surviving Eden, makes you stupid and ill. The movie tries hard to prove it.
Although early scenes hold out some promise that this parody of Survivor could amount to something, the movie quickly runs out of ideas.
Surviving Eden is the sort of hapless vanity project where even the outtakes at the end aren't funny.
Writer/director Greg Pritikin has created a reality-TV satire as clueless as the self-impressed 'stars' it scorns.
The movie insists that we care deeply about its sad sack protagonist as some sort of Chaplin-esque victim of vanity and greed. But neither Pritkin's conception nor Panes' performance warrants such sympathy.
This witless satire dares to take on the culture of -- get ready for this -- reality TV!
