"It was a lot of fun on the set. I had the most fun making that movie out of all of them. I'm sure if I sat and thought about it, but none that I could think of offhand"
About this Quote
The intent is straightforward - to praise a particular set experience - but the subtext is doing more work. “It was a lot of fun” and “I had the most fun” aren’t just compliments; they’re a subtle credential in comedy culture, where the vibe on set is often treated as proof of authenticity. Mewes isn’t talking about craft, legacy, or “finding the character.” He’s talking about the atmosphere, the hang, the memory. That frames the movie as part of a lived-in community rather than a product.
Then comes the stumble: “I’m sure if I sat and thought about it…” followed by the admission that nothing else comes to mind. That trailing self-correction reads like honesty defeating PR training in real time. It signals a guy who isn’t curating his opinions for maximum diplomacy. In an industry where everyone claims every project was “amazing,” Mewes’ inability to smooth the edges makes the praise feel oddly credible.
Contextually, it fits his career arc: a cult figure whose appeal has always been tied to spontaneity, friendship-driven filmmaking, and the sense that the best work happens when it still feels like play.
