An Evening with Beverly Luff Linn

Not a lot to say really... Probably one the strangest films I've ever seen but that's by no means a bad thing! A great cast, locations and music. Little lacking in the story department but don't let that put you off - just give it a watch for Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry!

Bizarre comedy from writer-director Jim Hosking has Lulu (Aubrey Plaza) stuck in a loveless marriage with beverage-store manager Shane Danger (Emile Hirsch). When Shane steals some money from a vegan health food store, troubleshooter Colin (Jemaine Clement) is hired to get the money back. This leads to Lulu going on the run with Colin, and the two ending up in a hotel where a one-night-only performance by Beverly Luff Linn (Craig Robinson) is scheduled to take place soon. As Colin grows to love Lulu, he discovers that she has a past with the mysterious Luff Lynn.

Filmmaker Jim Hosking was responsible for the extremely strange 2016 offering The Greasy Strangler. This follow-up ditches most of the sickening gross-out gags, but it retains the "intentionally-bad" aesthetic. The acting is purposefully amateurish, and the dialogue is stilted and absurd. The audience is kept in the dark about what kind of performance the enigmatic Luff Linn will display, and the revelation is as off-center as the rest of the film. This is the kind of out-there comedy that very few people will click with, but if you do, you'll like this one quite a bit. Not everything works, but enough did for me to keep me chuckling throughout, with a handful of laugh-out-loud moments.

This movie is absolutely not for a wide audience but if you fit the niche they are targeting like I do you will absolutely love it !! It's super weird, has an assortment of one of the best characters ever, has great music and it has Aubrey Plaza what more can one wish for ! I will watch this one quite a few times in my future I am sure of it :)

In one word , i¡d say "interesting" .. It starts in a really weird way -- a bit slow but then things starts to get crazy .. oh .. crazier .. and more tense.

The plot goes around an idiots village filled with these socially awkward people .. i actually felt uncomfortable for a while before the comedy kicks in.

The casting is WoW,, i literally knew all the leads and co-leads .. from Aubrey Plaza to Craig Robinson, Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry (from the IT crowd :D) ...

Was it a perfect easily digestible comedy ,, nope ,, it was unusual and very weird it becomes a bit enjoyable right at the end.

I've wondered over the past few days whether this film is awful, or possibly my favourite film of the last 5 years. I'm leaning towards the latter.
