Spaghettiman

This is a good film. Well paced, amusing, simple but satisfying storyline. The budget is low, but no shakey footage with rubbish angles.. the directing is great and you're totally engrossed in the story. Made me realise what makes or breaks a film: the characters. The main character is a lazy bum but is played so well. The lack of shiney polish amd CGI just make it even better. I'd choose this over any consumer Hollywood movie. Don't expect an artsy or student film, it's just a good film in its own right.

Another no budget flick that hits the mark with plot and characters. If you can't laugh with this movie then you have lost all sense of humor. Director: Mark Potts and Writers: Winston Carter and Ben Crutcher bring to us one of the silliest superhero's to date - but he's so likable you can't help cheering him on in his quest for justice and a little bit of cash!

Clark is a guy who can't keep a job and he shares an apartment with an obese guy who is a want-to-be policeman. Clark starts to warm up a bowl of spaghetti, he falls asleep for four days, and the microwave continues to run these four days. When Clark awakens he eats the spaghetti anyway and he discovers later his new powers from eating the over cooked spaghetti.

But he still needs money! And he goes out into the streets as a superhero to quell thieves but there's a catch if you want his help. Is Clark above corruption? Watch it and find out.

Don't expect great special effects, but the story behind Spaghettiman is awesome.

The tagline is "Clark doesn't care about you. He doesn't care about the world. He barely cares about himself", but in the end, Clark DOES care.

And we end up caring about all of the (admittedly limited) characters in this movie. Spaghettiman is just right at 80 minutes or so, and a good family laugh. It doesn't take itself too seriously, but the characters are likable, and the story holds our interest.

Wish there were more movies like this!

The Plot.

Clark doesn't care about you.

He doesn't care about the world.

He barely cares about himself.

But after an incident with an old bowl of spaghetti and a malfunctioning microwave, he becomes a superhero that can fight crime with the power of spaghetti.

However, you have to pay him.

It's actually funny. I liked it. And no, i had nothing to do with this movie.

But it's really original and keeps your interest. Considering that the budget was like nothing, it really deserves way more than the current IMDb number!

"Spaghettiman" was a welcome relief tonight. All day, I watched films that turned out to be incredibly serious and incredibly depressing. What a wonderful change of pace to find a film as original, funny and deliberately stupid as this one! Because it's so stupid...and weird, it's my next installment in my "You ain't seen nothing' yet" series...films so odd, so unique and so demented that you just have to see them...or not. But I suggest you see this one.

Clark (Ben Crutcher) is a complete loser. He is about the worst possible employee and loses job after job--including one as a pizza deliveryman because he was delivering pizzas half eaten! His one friend Dale (Winston Carter) puts up with this and even give him rent money...and you really have to feel sorry for poor Dale. One night, Clark falls asleep while a bowl of spaghetti is heating up in the microwave. When he awakens four days later, he finds that he has a new amazing super power...he can shoot spaghetti out of his hands! And, oddly, he also bleeds and urinates spaghetti. While it's not much of a super power, Clark's ambitions aren't all that lofty either. Instead of trying to rid the Earth of evil like a typical hero, Clark is pragmatic and when faced with evil, he expects the folks he saves to pay. Otherwise, he just minds his own business! After all, he sure ain't doing it for free! So, while wearing an old paper bag over his head as a disguise, he collects $40 here, $17 there and he's finally able to pay his rent. But when he meets a videographer, he realizes he is able to hit real paydirt and might even be able to save a few dollars! But Spaghettiman's dreams of financial solvency appear to be dashed when a motley crew of villains arrive to put an end of his reign of semi-goodness...and extortion!

While no one would call this a great film, director Mark Potts as well as writers/actors Winston Carter and Ben Crutcher have created an utterly ridiculous winner. Sure, it's low budget, sure it's silly as well as a bit uneven. But, it's funny and made me smile...and I think it will make you smile provided you don't expect great production values or a plot that makes much sense! And, at the end of the film you learn that they are planning on making another Spaghettiman film! And who knows...if the film takes off and makes money...perhaps we'll see Stan Lee in a cameo in the sequel!!
