Lost Reality 2: More of the Worst is another direct-to-video entry from National Lampoon that’s actually not a movie at all. Lost Reality 2: More of the Worst is a sequel to the first Lost Reality (2004) and it is a collection of rejected reality shows that most of them are really degrading and absolutely controversial and would probably make attorneys and prosecutors' works busier than ever.
There is not much to be commented about the shows since they represents their own material and ranging from the one that could amuse you (if you have the same taste as them) to the one that would make you choke on your food. Some of the filmmakers have actually send their tape to a famous TV network such as MTV, but MTV luckily turned down the pilot projects, otherwise MTV's credibility would certainly slide down to the gutter.
To make you clearer, I'm just going to list some of the pilot projects that one of them actually derived from Norway and the original format was the number one show in several Scandinavian countries. And between one reality shows to the next, there are some guys serving as presenters that are going to explain you a thing or two about the next show. Some of those wacky shows are titled Money, Amazing Racist, Scare Me, Lifestyles of The Poor & Homeless, Dumpster Diner, and Midget Wars. Dumpster Diner is about a contest between two chefs in serving the most delicious food to the unsuspecting customers on a restaurant, only...the ingredients for their recipes are taken from the dumpster from the leftovers...hmmm there goes my appetite...
Moreover, each of the reality shows seemed to be rushed. I wasn't satisfied with its short running length. Once I got excited for one of their shows, say, "Scare Me", then Poof! It ends. Each show only lasts for a couple of minutes, but probably that's because the original filmmakers of those videos didn't have the chance to complete their projects. Nevertheless still, they are too short. Probably the good thing is that the presenters give a quite informative explanation for each show, so that we could know a bit about those videos history.
 Who's next?
About the score that I've given to this film, I couldn't give any score for the "Cast" or "Ending" categories, since this is all basically a collection of reality shows, so the most appropriate score is simply zero.
Quoting what I heard from the movie about the quality of those rejects, it goes like this "If the Roman Empire had cheap video cameras, it would probably look something like those 15 rejects, you're gonna see people do things for money that they probably shouldn't do, you're going to see some of the worst that human behavior has to offer...Enjoy the journey I know I will". And yes I did and perhaps you would too, enjoying it in laughing their effort and how ridiculous their ideas were and probably shake your head once or twice or thrice in disbelief and perhaps thanking that they didn't make the cut for Television.
