Mr. Dungbeetle

This is one of the best movies I have watched in a VERY long time. The cinematography was beautiful, the plot was intelligent and very thought-provoking. It was painfully funny and a tear-jerker at the same time. I can't wait to see it again. I wish I could purchase it on DVD, otherwise I am going to have to drag my friends and family to the next screening. I can see this movie getting very popular. I also loved the fact that it was clean enough that I can bring my whole family to watch it. There is no foul language or nudity. The soundtrack was excellent! There are some good bands on it as well as some indie artists I have never heard of. Be sure to check this movie out when you get the chance. It will be well worth it.

When you see a movie and you leave not sure if you love it or not, wait 24 hours... if you cannot get it out of your head and little insights keeps coming back to you, you realize that its a brilliant movie! This movie has continued in my thoughts and the meaning keeps embedding itself in my mind. Brilliant!

I am most impressed with the positive feeling it leaves you about facing your fears and allowing yourself to change and heal. At first you feel like there is no way to relate to these characters, and are even a bit uneasy "hanging out" in a movie with crazy guys. By the end of the movie, they are not only endearing, you see yourself wishing you were friends with them.

If Don Quixote lived in the 21st century, he surely would have been committed to a mental institution--probably one similar to the opening scenes in this unvarnished and openly human film. Let's hope that the Man of La Mancha would have escaped and had the splendid adventures told in Mr. Dungbeetle. How sanity is measured or identified remains a multi-generational cultural enigma, one that is adeptly explored in this film but never explained.

The powerful absurdities revealed in the terse and memorable dialog anchor a remarkable story of self-discovery that never becomes reckless or cloying. You never feel you are being force-fed an agenda; rather you find yourself on the quixotic adventures as a co-traveler. Expect both laughter and tears as the story takes its expertly crafted verbal turns.

One of the most charming and quotable indie films I've ever seen.

This is truly an excellent movie. It is one of my favorite movies of all time. It raises some interesting questions, while making you laugh ... a lot. I saw it at a screening a few years ago with my wife and wish I could share it with others. It is very similar to "Mental" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0791128/), but even better. This is so much better than a vast majority of what Hollywood normally puts out. Someone needs to pick this movie up and make it widely available so more people can share this wonderful, funny, thought-provoking film. I am not an 'insider' to the world of 'indies' and don't know the details of what it takes to get a movie like this into theaters and onto DVD, but everyone I know who has seen it has absolutely loved. I would readily pay full price admission to see this movie again (and that says a lot coming from me - I don't even like paying matinée prices).

I saw this film at a screening on the BYU campus earlier this year, and I truly enjoyed this film. I talked my sister into seeing it with me, and we stood in line for an hour and a half so we could get on the "waiting list," and we were not disappointed. It was refreshing to be able to enjoy a film that had humor (a great deal of it, too) and a good message without all of the sexual content and graphic language that is prevalent in many of today's films. I hope it finds a distributor soon, because I have told my friends about it, and they too are excited to see this movie (I am looking forward to seeing it again). I look forward to being able to say a line from the movie and have others say,"oh yeah, that's from Mr. Dungbeetle!" A charming film that deserves to be recognized.
