Poetically, it seems apt for a low-budget, sweet film which unashamedly champions the under-dog - warring against the establishment which seems intent on its failure - to be doing as well as it is on Netflix's streaming service, especially when you take in to consideration the fact that the company has done absolutely nothing to market the damm thing & didn't even have the courtesy to make a trailer - for the bare minimum level of advertisement / visibility.
Therefore, just like its characters (& the genuine people they're inspired by), "The Bank of Dave" - being the endearingly cheesy movie that it is - has defeated the very system that meant to bury it & found an audience in the local, often under-represented working-class communities it's evidently helped entertain & consequently garnered success from their collective contributions. Hence, I applaud the achievement (mirroring reality with fiction & then manifesting reality again from that same fiction) as it's resonated with many & although far from being a masterpiece, for that reason alone, the project is undoubtedly deserving of appreciation.
