"Who is Alan Smithee?" is not a perfect documentary, but it is pretty good and a GREAT film for film students or anyone who loves films. Plus, while I know a ton about movies, there were some interesting things the documentary taught me. While MANY folks out there know about the pseudonym 'Alan Smithee' and what it means, many younger folks don't and it's worth learning why films occasionally have him listed as the director. My only complaints, and they are minor, is that the film has a cheap made on video look and I wish it was longer and more comprehensive. Neither is a big problem--the folks who made the film did what they could afford and it's not meant to be longer and explore every Smithee film.
