UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
stellan-sjolin Im not sure what i just watched.. but it helps if you drink whisky straight from the bottle...jokes aside this is 1½ hr of glorious madness, if you like the old school horor/scifi movies, anything from Hellraiser to Evil dead or Toxic Avenger, you will like this.I have read good and bad reviews and it seems this movie brings out really strong opinions, i dont get why. Its a quite silly scifi comedy, but either you like that stuff or you dont, cant really say i understand why people get so emotional when it comes to this specific movie. Normally those who dont like it seem to just ignore it..Huh.. anyway if you are into this kinda stuff, whatch it and enjoy 1½hr of really, REALLY, stupid fun.
SnoopyStyle Ricky Coogan (Alex Winter) was a lovable child star who was hired by Everything Except Shoes corporation to be a spokesman. They sent the self-obsessed has-been to South America to promote a controversial fertilizer which is banned in the US and Europe. He's too greedy not to take the $5 million. He brings best friend Ernie and pursued by annoying obsessed fan Stuey Gluck. Ricky lusts after environmentalist Julie (Megan Ward) and cons her to join them. They stop at a roadside freak show Freak Land owned by Elijah C. Skuggs (Randy Quaid). The three are kidnapped as Skuggs use the chemical Ricky is suppose to be promoting to transform them into freaks.I have no problem with deliberate ugliness and sarcastic humor. It simply overloads the movie and overwhelms the comedy. It gets tiresome after awhile but it still has some fun moments. Alex Winter, Megan Ward and Michael Stoyanov are a loud threesome who has some funny jokes.
Vomitron_G Technically, this is a comedy. But it's about a freak show containing a whole lot of demented freaks and mutants. Add to that some outrageous special make-up effects by Screaming Mad George, some occasional over-the-top bloodshed and a typical final freeze-frame shock-end shot (think a lot of 80's horror/slashers) and in my opinion this is the ultimate comedy for horror-fans. But you have to dig the sort of humor FREAKED handles, or otherwise you're screwed. I'm not using the word 'splatter' here and I do mean 'comedy', because this flick is more parody-orientated than, for example, Peter Jackson's BRAINDEAD (which focuses more on splatter and gore). When I mention that this movie is co-directed, co-written by and also starring the talented Alex Winter (of BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE and BOGUS JOURNEY-fame) than you kind of know what to expect, right? Well, it's only ten times crazier! A lot of remarkable demented cameos from some famous people of whom you would not expect it. Just see this flick. It's one of my favorite horror-comedies ever!
Aaron1375 This movie is a parody type movie...though there is not a particular movie being spoofed here. More along the lines of a "Top Secret" as this movie has its own plot and stands on its own. And for that I commend it. I just did not find it all that funny. Sure I liked a couple of the jokes like the part where the music is playing and Randy's character tells them to shut the music off. The story basically has this guy who is some sort of star traveling along the countryside and running into a freak show. Well he soon becomes the freak show's main attraction as the owner of said show makes his freaks with a bizarre device. Of course, before this we have a scene where the star is being interviewed by Brooke Shields in a talk show type setting. So basically the movie is sort of a recount of what happened. So we have a bunch of freaks to get to know as well as the star's traveling companions become Siamese twins, there is a worm guy, a strange sock puppet guy and you even get to see Mr. T as a bizarre woman. Though the saddest tale is that of the one tool that became another (have to admit, that was pretty funny). Still, for the most part I just did not enjoy the movie, however, there are worse ways to spend one's time.
