The Minis

An inspiring tale, full of great music and some funny moments. The messages here: believe in yourself, follow your dreams, and never give up. Four dwarf men want to raise money for the son of one of the men to go to college, so they form a basketball team and get Dennis Rodman to join them. Rodman's agent (the funny Richard Portnow) encourages them, as it will improve his image and make them money. (Though of course he's not above exploiting the dwarfs for an embarrassing ad endorsement!)

There's a cow-obsessed gal from Paris (...Texas); the dwarf waitress who befriends the smallest of them, Chevy ; his Worm-ness himself, and Chevy, (Gabriel Pimental)who thinks a risky limb-lengthening operation would help him. Can this ragtag team of little guys win?

Fast paced action and catchy music enlivens the story, which is suitable for all ages.

It's the end of the world as we know it: The Minis Are Coming! Actually, no. They're already here, being programmed on Sky twice a day for the entire month of December. I watched this movie years ago and it's just....... incredible.

I loved watching this movie and it was simply amazing.. The story goes like this...

My brother and I would occasionally make Friday trips to Family Video every couple weeks to pick out a few movies to watch over the weekend. My brother, knowing nothing about movies, would choose DVDs based on their covers exclusively. On one trip, he saw a cover that caught his eye. It was of a basketball player (unknown to him) surrounded by a group of little people. He showed it to me, thinking it looked funny. I rolled my eyes, but agreed. It looked so bizarrely ridiculous, it had to be a riot.

He rented the movie, brought it home and popped it in. I sat in, salivating at the thought of how crazy stupid an obscure comedy starring an ex-rebounding champion nicknamed "The Worm" would be. The next hour and change was shocking. After the first few minutes, I realized that I wasn't laughing. Maybe the jokes don't come until later, I thought. I waited another few minutes. Something's not right. An hour passed, and I realized what was going on. The Minis, the Dennis Rodman midget basketball vehicle, is not a comedy.

This is the work of either a god or a monster..... or both!? The movie is pure genius. It's about "dwarfs playing basketball" and people review it like it's supposed to be an Oscar-winning drama. Reading some comments here is even funnier than the movie itself hahahaha. I demand special midnight screenings with people dressed up like the team and singing, the same way it's done for the Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Minis forever (this could be a good title for a sequel. Either this or The Maxis!!!)

I like it because it is so amazing I watch it so many times and I want to watch it again and again I like it because it is so amazing I watch it so many times and I want to watch it again and again I like it because it is so amazing I watch it so many times and I want to watch it again and again I like it because it is so amazing I watch it so many times and I want to watch it again and again I like it because it is so amazing I watch it so many times and I want to watch it again and again I like it because it is so amazing I watch it so many times and I want to watch it again and again I like it because it is so amazing I watch it so many times and I want to watch it again and again.
