Forgot to mention that if you are a fan of poor lenses and like to brush up on poor resolution, poor contrast, coma, astigmatism, and vignetting, you can't do better than 'Celebration'. It was shot with a handheld video camera using the poorest lens I have ever seen used for a cinematic release. I guffawed during the opening credits when the out-of-focus highlights were squares: all-time worst bokeh ever. Good movie, though.
