My Review-

I have never heard of this man, by the name of Jack Rebney or seen his infamous "Winnebago outtakes." However, from watching this documentary about him and his life after he made the video for Winnebago, and how he lives and what he thinks about America and others things. It seems likehe is a very angry person at times by watching the documentary, but also he is in deep thought about certain topics, when he gets into arguements with the director and won't believe certain things about his video and how many people like his video that he made in the 1980s about trying to sell a winnebago. After watching this documentary and seeing everything that he when through by making that video and what happened during that shoot, he is truly the "angriest man in the world." Even though he does at times seeing he does have a heart of gold, he speaks his mind, if you want to watch this documentary do not do what I did, watch his youtube video first, then watch this documentary so you will see for yourself why this man is so well liked by fans that love the video and have seeing it more than 10 times. And you will see why people watch his video, it is one of those things that will put you in a good mood, if you are in a bad mood. As someone put it he is everyone's "angry grandpa". Even though he has that video of him in which seems to be his worst mood ever, he does have a kind heart and seemed to actually care that people loved his video, and liked him, not just because he was angry, but also because he was a kind person and did finally actually care that this documentary was being made about him. If you want a good laugh or just having a bad day watch his youtube video, and if you want to know more about him, watch this documentary on him.
