CorblimeyGuvnors Bill Zebub is a prolific film maker in the low budget school of filming. I have seen other films of his before and remember being pleasantly surprised by them. This appears to be a departure for him from the ones that I have seen and is a "no topic too taboo" comedy. Bill plays the main character who hires a stripper for his birthday and falls in love with her. That's about it really. There are other characters that pop in and out of the film, but I really did not follow the plot that well. I feel that this sets out to achieve it's intentions by really being quite objectionable in it's subject mater. There is a "black" character played by a white man in blacked out face, the police officers are SS gestapo and there is a religious man who is sexually abusing his three daughters. So as you can see, not for those easily offended. I kinda get the religious man and police officer as (I think) it makes the point of (some) religious people being morally corrupt and preaching to everyone else how they should be leading their lives. Heck in the UK it is a frequent part of the news that a man of the cloth has been jailed for child abuse. I also get the Police thing (Fascists). Unfortunately I did struggle with the ethnic character and did find this not to my liking at all. So if Bill set out to offend he achieved his aim. If he set out to make a comedy, then I, personally, did not find much to laugh at in this film.
movieman_kev An unrepentant racist celebrates his birthday by falling in love with the stripper who his friend got for his birthday. All the while stereotypes abound, hypothetically in a satirical sardonic way.Comedies that push the boundaries of good taste can not only be funny, but certain ones such as South Park can be hilarious. However this film doesn't seem to have the wit nor brain power to pull such a satirical feat off instead choosing to stoop to the lowest common denominator in a vain attempt to make the viewer laugh. It rarely works. Sorry I was being generous, it never does. This movie makes "The Underground Comedy Movie" seem highbrow. I'd rather watch the 'comedy' of Carlos Mencia.... Yuck.
rcragun I don't know what possessed me to watch this movie. It is definitely not marketed honestly. It gives the impression that it is some form of cutting edge comedy. It's not. It's a white supremacist recruitment video made by a bunch of idiots with a home video camera. The picture quality, amazingly, isn't too bad. But the sound quality is terrible. The acting - Wow! If you filmed an anthill and then did voice-overs for the ants, they would be more convincing actors. I think there was supposed to be a plot, but I couldn't tell what it was. Mostly all I saw and heard was bigotry, prejudice, discrimination, and chauvinism.There is a good deal of gratuitous nudity and sex - and it really is gratuitous and completely tangential to the story. Maybe they knew they couldn't sell the movie otherwise. I can't imagine how low the self-esteem of the women who participated in these scenes must have been to agree to this debasement. And that's coming from someone who has no problem with erotic and pornographic films generally. These women, however, are participating in a bigoted, piece of crap movie and probably for free. Wow! And, no, my negative review isn't an issue of me being politically correct or not. I can laugh at stuff that is humorous but not politically correct (e.g., Carlos Mencia or Lisa Lampinelli). This is intentionally and unabashedly offensive. There is a difference...If you happen to find a copy of this movie somewhere, do yourself and the world a favor and burn it. It really is that bad.
fleshTH Having actually known "Bill" and the way he is, I expected something a little more in-depth. He told me this movie was a push on the boundaries of what shouldn't be in a movie. At some points I agree. While I am not quite sure if I liked the movie, there are a few parts that were good, and equally, some part that were just horrible. As a disclaimer states in the beginning of the movie: If you are not open minded nor can you accept that there are people who are prejudice with no regard or though for reasoning, you wouldn't be able to watch this movie. However, I can almost suggest it. The story line seems to dim in and out throughout the movie. Trying to guess exactly what the crux of the whole this is annoyed me. There were some parts that I just started skipping though, as it started to get dull. As an independent film, I can respect the efforts put into this movie. There are quite a few things that could have been done way different, especially if it was intended to get a negative reaction of the viewers. However, after seeing this film, I would like to take a look at his other works. I do hope however that they are more plot and better dialogue as I know he is capable
