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!

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!

Not for all age groups, but I had crazy good fun watching this over-the-top, no-holds-barred absurdist slice of an an indie film that obviously took its cues from Monty Python and maybe even some early slapstick. If you're looking for something to blow your mind, give this one a shot.

This movie was done very poorly. It had no value, not even as a fun to watch terrible movie. I feel like they had a casting call at an international convention of bad actors. The antagonists reminded me of mean Mr. Mustard from the Sergeant Pepper movie.

NOW for the big issue. The ratings don't make sense. Click on the rating to see the breakdown. It's around 3.8 or so, yet when it is averaged, they display 6.4. So something is definitely wrong with the algorithm of showing the rating of this terrible film.

WHAT was good about it? It is so hard to find something good but if I had to say something, the Benny Hill type of chasing in the park was kind of funny but only because it reminded me of Benny Hill.
