It's got a little something for everyone. If you like the SoupPlantation because you can't decide on a main course is, then this plot is for you! SPOILER-iskayas Between the odd Russian accents, the Russians made to look like Americans just by shoving on cowboy hats, some oddly biblical seriousness, the "choose your own adventure" plot structure, the potential making of a God-baby baby-making, rotating choice of protagonists, the amazing "almost" musical montages, the epidemic of only one rat suit shared between actors and an ending seemingly driven by a 'film' shortage rather than a narrative conclusion; it has something for everyone.

This is almost an Ed Wood level effort but sadly comes just shy by only being 55% dedicated to full camp. But then perhaps that's what makes this so unique, it's like the director died mid editing and his son took over. If Ted Cruz and David Nunes made a film, this would be it.

P.S. The credits indicated this was made in 3D. I'm now on a mission to experience this on the original Coleco Vision 3D system being shown somewhere in Kasikstan. Any movie that credits "PA Intern" gets my thumbs up.
