The Midas Touch

Flicks like this are the reason I enjoy indie films. No mainstream film company would ever do this in a million (billion?) years, and that's why it's so much fun! The film is written with a totally unheard of perspective, that's for sure. Far too few comedies get so many crazy subjects addressed in a single film, but this one does. The main conceit is that a man who is best described as woman repellent all of a sudden has the power to get the unflinching attention of any woman have likes. For someone who was once invisible to the ladies to now be a reluctant Lothario is good adult fun. On the plus side, it's totally original, with a voice that leans toward eccentric European humor. On the opposite end, the first scenes seem mostly unneeded and a film editor who is experienced with comedy would have made an enormous difference in helping many of the jokes land better. That means this film may not be for everyone, but it still earns points for originality. And finally, there were more than a few LOLs in this movie, and when a comedy manages to make me giggle, I always feel I got my money's worth.

There aren't really words to describe this trip of a movie! Tongue and cheek on sex, politics and religion, this film is crude but insightful. Maybe not for everyone, but definitely worthy of being seen!

I don't know what to make.of rhis movie, I found myself wondering how it could escape the editing room in its current form. It feels unpolished and much too long. It is like watching somerhing that high-school students would put together for fun, where they don't care if the joke is only funny for them. I think you would be better off spending time on something else.

Really campy British movie that's a lot of fun to watch! It doesn't take itself too seriously which is why it works. Great work on the acting, costumes, and production design in a lot of cool locations. Watch this if you're looking for something fun!

I was in the mood for something that would be fun to watch in the midst of a pretty dark time and relieved to find a fun, light hearted movie. I enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to someone else looking for a great ride!
