Wasabi Tuna

This is one of those movies that you have to just go and enjoy the ride..a wild romp about a group of pals who end up being chased by cops, drag queens and gangsters as they attempt to make it to the annual West Hollywood Halloween parade..lots of silliness, but fun esp. for a midnite movie. Anna Nicole Smith is a hoot as herself.

Celia Fox Hollywood's new "It Girl" has truly done it with the brilliance of her new feature Wasabi Tuna. Seldom has a first feature given us a writer / producer of this magnitude, talent and vision. Wasabi Tuna is pure camp at it's finest. A virtual laugh riot from the opening frame, with characters and dialogue surpassing the work of Peters, Brooks, and countless more, it is safe to say that we have welcomed a new era in comedy. With the amount of buzz this film generated at Cannes (even surpassing the

latest Michael Moore offering in many eyes on the panel) we can only look

forward to the sophomore effort from Ms. Fox rumored to be an action / comedy with top liners Brad Pitt and Catherine Zeta Jones already expressing interest. Wasabi Tuna 's laughs are bigger than Brando!!.

I saw the film when it played in theaters, I thought it was actually funny in a madcap screwball kind of way. Particularly, I found Alanna Ubach both charming and enchanting. Tim Meadows was great as well (much better than he was in The Cookout) and the film has a great supporting cast of faces you will recognize. I've read some of the comments on here and I think some of the other viewers didn't take the film for what it is: light fluff meant to entertain, not socially relevant. But that's my two cents. By the way, this is the first time in a long time where I've seen something that has Anna Nicole Smith in it where she's actually entertaining, and self deprecating, not irritating.

This is a completely goofy comedy. A fun film that is not serious at all. Frankly it's the best stuff I've seen from Tim Meadows in a long time and I have to admit...I love Alanna Ubach!! She is beautiful and one heck of an actress. (check out Freeway -- she is great in that). Did I say she is beautiful?? She looks fabulous in this film (especially when she does the Breakfast at Tiffany's look).

Plus Antonio Sabato, Jr. is funny, there are three Ninja chicks, a midget and Anna Nicole....What else could you want? If you want to see something goofy and funny then check this film out. Jason London and Barney Cheng play good femme gay males and I think that this and D.E.B.S. would be a great double feature!

A lot of talented actors are wasted in this amateur piece of film making. Poorly edited to the point of you do not know what the Hell is going on and packed with enough over the top stereotypes to kick up the volume to deafening. There is no other word for this than BLECH! Too bad as it had possibilities in the hands of people who knew what the Hell they were doing. It wastes some great performances by Antonio Sabato, Guillermo Diaz, Jason London, Jessica Lugo and Alanna Ubach. Barney Cheng should be ashamed of his work in the film, it nearly undermines Jason London's who does a great job playing his Boyfriend. Let's not forget Anna Nicole...she plays herself and the task proves too much, she has zero comic timing...or maybe it was the result of bad editing. A film school student could have done better at directing, writing and editing than the behind the scenes people on this disaster!
