Review:
This film claimed to be a dramatic comedy. Well I will say this; there is really nothing funny about this film. The only part that had some humor to the film was in a radio broadcast at the beginning of the film. When this was played it appeared the film could have hope. However, that did not happen. Also there was nothing in this film that was dramatic.
The one thing about the film was that it was sad. Sad in that the film was made. I find it shocking that someone actually financed this film.
The so-called humor in the film was something you would expect to see a high school student to write. All the jokes were predictable and completely juvenile. The film seemed to be making fun of The X-Files, however, I wonder if the "writerdirector" understood that The X-Files has been over for a long, long time. Most people probably do not get the reference. However, at the same time one agent played his character as if were Agent Smith from The Matrix. Also, another reference of being old and over done. Surprising, the director didn't add in Lord of the Rings. There were times I expected to see a Hobbit just run on to the screen and ask if anyone saw his ring.
Also the film had characters that were there and then just disappeared and never really said what happened to them. For example, take the DJ from the beginning, at first it appeared the DJ was someone who is like a narrator, but turned out not to be one. Only that one scene. Also the DJ was talking to a Professor who seemed to have some sort of insight to a theory of "nothing", in which the film calmed to be, (I assume this was a reference to Seinfeld, again, long time over) anyway, the Professor's words never referenced again.
Also, there was FBI director, another agent, both spoke to the lead agents and nothing came of them. Also there was a cop who saw one of the female characters "throw up" a weird ugly ball thing and then disappeared.
I am not saying that any of the characters mentioned were important or interesting. But, as with real story telling, they should move the story, not just be there. However, come to think of it, the "lead" characters were not interesting or important. They didn't lead the story anywhere. Probably because the film had no story.
The film was claimed to be smart humor, and no, there was nothing smart about this film. Beyond the fact someone was smart enough to sucker people into financing it.
Also, I find it funny that the "WriterDirector" of this film claims to have taken influence from Little Shop of Horrors, but called it Flower Shop of Horrors. Well that explains a lot about this film.
Also it is covered in quote of Herb Lightman, ummm... who is this Herb Lightman? A professor from UCLA who claims to be an influence on Lucas and Spielberg. Well, this so called Herb Lightman must not be too important because as one who loves film have never heard of him and knows that the main influence to both Lucas and Spielberg was Francis Ford Coppola.
If any one sees this film, and you paid for it, demand your money back. If you didn't have to pay to see it, don't. It is not worth your time, because Ed Wood and Uwe Boll made better films than this one.
