Summary
A creepy prologue informs us we're watching a videotape recently unearthed in "the area formerly known as Central Park," but impatient audiences may be forgiven for assuming we've accidentally channel-surfed onto an episode of Manhattan Twentysomethings' Most Inane Home Videos. It's a downtown going-away party for Rob (Michael Stahl-David), who's headed to Japan to be a vice president of a company or something, while his true love Beth (Odette Yustman) has finally figured out they're more than friends and blah blah blah. The turgid soap operatics are captured via camcorder by a drunken buffoon named Hud (T.J. Miller), and just when everything is seriously bordering on unwatchable, Godzilla suddenly attacks and the Statue of Liberty's head goes tumbling down the street.
