It just looks like normal Louis stuff. Like his show. Not meant to be flashy.

It probably had a bigger budget. Louis funded this whole thing himself.

I like the humility. It's like, "this is a movie I made. if you want to see it, fine, if not, that's fine too." It's like one of his e-mail announcements to his fans.

I almost certainly would have watched Louis's movie if I hadn't seen the trailer. Now that I've seen the trailer, I'm fairly certain that I won't watch the movie

No planes, no bullets, no catchy one-liners, no ocean views, no eighties rock anthems, no tom cruise

I'm just kind of shocked that it looks like it was shot with a $500 DSLR. But you can tell by the lighting that they still tried to make it stylized, it's not that they were going for a "raw" look. Very strange
From what I remember from his show, Louis actually has some directorial chops, and these days you can do a lot with a small budget and a skeleton crew, so I don't know why this looks so cheap and amateurish
