What happens when you become an internet sensation, but
not for doing something admirable, but embarrassingly funny? Well, that’s what this documentary from Ben
Steinbauer attempts to find out when he searches out and finds Jack Rebney, aka
the Winnebango Man. Mr. Rebney shot an
industrial sales video for Winnebango.
Unbeknownst to him the outtakes of this strenuous job became a favorite
for home video collectors, his cursing and outbursts being traded across the
country for big laughs. And then to make
things worse for him, the video gets released onto the internet. The rest is internet history. Yet that’s only half the story, because its
Steinbauer’s journey to find the real Rebney and to help him find redemption
that is truly inspirational. Grade: A-
