somehope Compared to some of the Tarnatino rip-offs that advertise themselves as original, give PF credit for being the stupidest, and its pride in being one of the worst, weirdest low-budget films ever made. Granted, its stupid basically because of its inconsistency (why "Nell" and a Gump clone came into the story I'll never know and the "Reservior Nuns" section fades out after the "Monkees" theme really confuses me), but from what I understand of Ed Wood's bad movies they didn't make sense either. Still, PF has some amusing things going for it: 1.) the independent film café (with a good Walken impersonator and Priscillia, Queen of the Desserts who gives the sum of the movie's literal running gag: "It's been a crazy mixed-up day (reference to Pulp's time frames); 2.) wild acting by Julie Brown and some of then Comedy Central's show "Strip Mall"'s actors, Sandra Bernhard, Tommy Davidson, and "Strangers With Candy's Paul Dinello and many others (including the real Homer Simpson -- Dan Canstella); 3.) a weird mix of "Clerks" and Reality Bites" together; and 4.) an overall loving homage to everything QT at that time(including "Natural Born Killers" and "True Romance") ... except it's weird and inconsistent. Give it a shot for something ... original?In comparison, Film Threat's "My Big Fat Independent Film" is a better Indies spoof, but for a weird homage to QT go with the Plump ... it's cult like a Ed Wood original."Those looking for a plot will be shot." -- Mark Twain, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

BigHardcoreRed I rented this one because I heard it was funny. I don't remember where I could have possibly heard that because it was anything but funny. I've seen all the movies it attempted to spoof and I understood all the "jokes". I was even amused at first, but that didn't last long. The pure and simple truth is that this movie was not funny. Not in the least. It was so bad, it reminded me of The Underground Comedy Movie. That was horrendous, too. I think I laughed at least once in that one, though. I didn't laugh at one joke or gag in this one. I did find it a tad clever at times, but not enough to make it anywhere near a good movie.The worst of the worst was Sandra Bernhard. Man, she has to be the worst actress I've ever seen. She would give the girls in Savage Roses a run for their money for worst actress. It's pretty bad when you can't act well enough for a parody. I can't believe she's still getting work. Enough time wasted on her.If I had to say something good about the movie, the only thing that stands out is Tommy Davidson. He can do a dead-on Samuel L. Jackson and he was the highlight of the movie. Not something to be proud of. It's a shame that Bernhard is still working and Davidson hasn't been around for a couple of years. It is because of Tommy's performance that I would give this movie 2 stars out of 10 (instead of 1). Don't say you haven't been warned.

movieguy1021 Ever since Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker broke up, we've been hard pressed to find good parody movies. The Scary Movies gave us a laugh or two, but nothing like Airplane! or The Naked Gun. Plump Fiction is a hit-or-miss parody of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers, and other violent, (usually) Tarantino movies. Some of it works, some doesn't, but after a while, you just want to quit.Jimmy (Paul Dinello) and Julius (Tommy Davidson) are two exterminators who are sent by their boss Montello (Robert Costanzo) to eliminate rodents from Nicky (Matthew Glave) and Vallory (Pamela Segall) Cox's apartment. Jimmy also has to take Montello's plump wife Mimi (Julie Brown) out to lunch. Throw in some references to the overbudgeting of Waterworld, some Priscilla: Queen of the Desert and Forrest Gump, and that's Plump Fiction.The movie starts off well. It's almost scene for scene with Pulp, and with some very funny bits poking fun at Pulp, such as Jimmy's fascination with telling people what they call things in different countries. Basically, most of the parodies are pretty funny, until about halfway through the movie. Then it gets boring, unfunny, and repetitive. The whole Reservoir Nuns gag was one of the worst things I've ever seen. It's just a bunch of people in nun outfits cursing. For ten minutes. Plump Fiction does have its moments, and Tommy Davidson is awesome, but ultimately, it fails in becoming a lasting parody. It's almost like an SNL skit turned movie. None of those work out.My rating: 5/10Rated R for strong language and violence.

Spinal83 ...about this film was the title song. After 30 minutes, I discontinued watching because it was so lame. Bad story, bad actors, bad movie. If you want to watch a good movie, watch Pulp Fiction instead.
