...and take that any way you like, this no-budget Canadian send-up is little more than a pale shadow of inspirations like "Waiting For Guffman" and genuine documentaries like "Confessions of a Superhero." Despite a few scenes that click (mostly ones of the character with a vastly inflated opinion of himself), "Ham & Cheese" is, sad to say, eminently forgettable. It feels every bit as rushed and unfinished as its alleged writing and shooting times. The only actor that really caught my notice was Jennifer "Billable Hours" Baxter, who turns out to have been the grisly-yet-somehow-sexy softball zombie in George A. Romero's "Land of the Dead." No wonder she got my attention.
Beyond that, this flaccid cheapie is of interest strictly to theater and showbiz wannabees as an object lesson in the difficulties of making acting a career (and it garners its 5/10 from me on that basis alone). All other parties need not apply.
