Rectuma

Attended advance preview of "Rectuma" and had a great time. Worth it just to see the "Jodie Foster" impersonation. Lead actor reminds one of Gene Wilder in his 1970's films, very good performances by all, including some veteran Pirromount players.

Have you ever flipped around at 3AM looking for a movie? If you reach "recatuma", flip on (it will never be shown at any other time, I'm sure).

I've nothing against gutter humor, e.g., "There's Something about Mary", or the "American Pie" series, but "recatuma" is just not funny. It looks like the product of two 8-year-olds who got their hands on a camera.

It's beyond me how this movie has one of the highest ratings I've seen on IMDb (votes by the director and friends?), but this movie seriously makes me question IMDb ratings.

Terrible acting, terrible plot, terrible dialogue, terrible soundtrack, terrible dubbing, and a terrible waste of time. It wasn't offensive, just completely and utterly boring. I'm a BIG fan of lots of low budget or B grade movies, but usually they have a great plot or a good idea behind them. I watched this with a friend who loves B grade horror movies and he actually fell asleep through it. This is something maybe a 5 year old kid would find amusing, but you'd have to find one of those kids who giggles every time somebody says the word 'butt'. He wouldn't be laughing at the movie, just the word 'butt'. To give you an idea of how juvenile this movie is, they use the word 'poop' a lot but never say the S word (that would be rude wouldn't it?) however they occasionally use the F word. It felt like a Disney movie, designed not to offend anybody. It doesn't fit into the 'Comedy' genre and doesn't fit into the 'horror' genre either. The most amusing thing about the movie is the name. I can only assume the movie is so far rating at 7.3/10 after 30 votes is because every single member of the cast voted 10 for it. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS!! I implore you! Stop giving people who make these movies your DVD renting money! Then maybe they will stop making movies like this. I've seen movies in the IMDb Bottom 100 that were far more entertaining than this.

What happens when someone's ass breaks loose and goes berserk in Los Angeles? You have one of the best movies based on Japanese monster movies there is. Rectuma is very tight, and the comedy is right on the money. Director Marc Pirro knows his genre, as practically every Japanese monster movie cliché is exploited in this movie, right down to the twin fairies who sing the narration and a Japanese monster fighter who speaks out of sync (noticed by everyone in the movie except him). Pirro also throws in a few non-genre bonuses, like a detective who thinks she's Jodie Foster. The actress who plays this part does an uncanny Jodie Foster impression. In fact, she even LOOKS like Foster. There also is a creepy lab assistant who looks and sounds EXACTLY like Bela Lugosi's Igor character from Son of Frankenstein. Sure, this is low budget, but I got more laughs out of this movie than anything the Farrelly Brothers or Wil Farrell have done recently. I saw this at a movie night at a friend's house with about 15 people, and everyone laughed their asses off. Get it? Asses? Ass movie? If you want a very clever comedy with gags that hit the target practically every time, I urge you to see this! If you don't think it's one of the funniest movies you've ever seen, then I suggest you go watch something more your style, like possibly an episode of "Friends."

I don't get some of these bad comments left for this movie. This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen...ever. There is nowhere it won't go and I am thankful for it. This is not a film to see if you are politically correct, easily offended, religious, or have absolutely no sense of humor. Today, the current trend is to make sequels, rip offs, remakes, reimaginations, re-writes, rehashes, etc. etc. etc. People shell out millions collectively to see all the blockbuster crap that Hollywood force feeds them. Then here comes a film that is completely original and unique, and the less astute folks gripe about it. I would think that the people who have left bad comments just don't get the humor...or live in trailers. Screw 'em. They can have their Superman Returns, X Men and Spiderman sequels, I vote for clever and original, and recommend Rectuma highly!!
