36 Husbands

Bright Blue Gorilla's latest creation is a sweet little monster of a comedy. I will have to introduce the term LAC for this. Low action comedy (LAC).

A spy movie of sorts with 3 secret female agents and helpers trying to secure world peace through marrying and deceiving dubious male characters who might pose a threat to the world one way or another. This includes special combat techniques, kung fu , sedatives and travels across the world.

As a production of extreme low cost it praises the love of film making, making things possible within an impossible budget. With an almost innocent approach the creators pour their heart into storytelling with a combination of goofy (in the best sense of the word) surrealism and an almost Tarantino like kitch style. The deliverance of the understated humor in this piece and the construction of some scenes reminds me of an early Pedro Almodovar from time to time (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown springs to mind).

All together this TAC is a sweet declaration of love to the film media with a fine touch of surrealism and absurdity sneaked in to the easy going storytelling.

If you love spy movies, kung fu movies, comedies, and a fun soundtrack? Then check out 36 Husbands. It's fantastically funny, sprinkled with some cheese, the fun, kung fu, spy movie with a fun story-line will just keep making you say "what is going to happen next?" Bright Blue Gorilla seemed to have a lot of fun making the movie, as much as they seemed to have being in it. Again this movie is a lot of fun, good for some laughs in a time now when laughs are needed.

An infectiously engaging globetrotting romp which somehow manages to incorporate kung-fu action, spy intrigue, and romcom into a musical format. Only the "Gorilla" moviemaking team of Michael Glover and Robyn Rosenkrantz could conceive such a genre smorgasbord - and actually pull it off. While most indie productions are limited to a few single key locations, 36 Husbands leaps seamlessly from Paris to Los Angeles, with stopovers in Frankfurt, Berlin, and the wilds of Australia. Add to this some trompe-l'oeil acts of cinematic deception, and you have a refreshingly upbeat entertainment. Howard Corlett is a particular standout among the energetic cast.

This wild, offbeat spy spoof follows a team of three female agents recruited to use their unique skills to prevent World War III. Krista, the spiritual leader with mystical powers extraordinaire, Gina, the over-enthusiastic newlywed Kung Fu master and Nola, the under-experienced newbie with a knack for falling down. Together, they fight and love their way across the world leaving a trail of broken hearts, foiled schemes and shameless plugs for previous BBG films...featuring the music of BBG (with BBG parodying themselves as clueless TV hosts).

Great to be able to watch a wacky slapstick film without the 18+ jokes so the entire family can have a god time. Watch these 'spies' try to decipher clues and hunt for the prize. A throwback to the classic comedies of the 40's when it didn't have to follow logic...it only had to be funny! And this film is! Enjoy!

36 Husbands ? ?

What can i say? It's probably the worst film I have ever seen.

A very silly production that can't be taken seriously. Badly edited and cut. Absurd acting and actors. A foolish plot. Is this a comedy? If so, it isn't the least bit funny. I am still trying to figure out what this film is about, other than a bunch of people travelling around the world. Avoid if you can!!
