Hi everybody. I've started a website devoted to this movie at www.malooga.com. Guess who stopped by the other day? Mr. Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga himself! Yes, Allan Katz emailed me to say thanks for keeping the dream alive. He explained why the movie has not been released on DVD. It was owned originally by Vestron. When they went out of business, the new owners sold off all the international rights, and decided not to release it into theaters. Eventually this company was bought by Lions Gate, who I assume now have it in the vault. I've emailed them asking to have it released on DVD, but have had no response yet.We all know how great the movie is and maybe if lots of us email Lions Gate, they'll consider a DVD. It's a longshot, but hey, this is a cult film and it's going to take a lot of pressure to get what we want.Please stop by the site and have a look and let me know what you think. Allan sent me the original script along with a never before seen photo of Bob and I've posted these on the site. I'm planning to put lots of video clips up in the near future to make it more interesting. I have links where you can buy the VHS and posters.

It might seem a pat campus movie, but there's a lot more here. Allen Katz is more and more interesting as you concentrate on him. The gags and jokes are really funny, and catch you by their Understatement. It has become one of our ravenous movie watcher household's "watch again" classics, a fate which few films enjoy..We have one 35 yr old filmwriter and fanatic, one theater/film educated person of the next [old] generation, and one newby with discrimination. Hope you try it!

This film has some funny and touching moments, but it's only sporadically truly inspired. Allan Katz gives a very good performance as the title character, and it's a role that must have been more difficult and demanding that it appears at first. However, as others have said, Corey Parker's sub-Woody Allen puns are self-conscious and annoying. An OK film to watch, but the story just seems to go on and on and on...long after you're ready for it to end. (**)
