Blogger's Note: Well, pals, here we hit a major milestone of ChabertQuest. As far as I know, this movie is the last live-action Chabert movie on the list that seems to be available on disc and/ or streaming. Of the 90 films on my list, only five remain, and I am not sure two of them ever saw the light of day. And the others may just disappear into the fog of time, never having had a physical or streaming media release. That said, I'd love to finish off the list.
As near as I can guess, this movie was a money laundering scheme. Like, bring in money saying you have name people but spend none of it on the actual movie as you shoot in your house.
There's no obvious script to High Hopes (2006), it genuinely feels like they had a rough idea of what they wanted to do, but then they just kind of shot a movie - sometimes with lines, sometimes not - when they had enough actors in the room. Or, they had rewrites and more rewrites on a movie that is 99.99% set up for a punchline that is telegraphed well in advance, bigoted and was never going to be funny.
