Bad Milo!

Well this wasn't horror at all even if there was the occasional blood spatter and some biting by a little cute butt-monster. But it was humorous. Well at least to me it was. Call me a child, I don't care at all, but when there are jokes about poop or farts I automatically have to laugh. And apparently I'm not the only one that thinks it's funny. For the people that hated this movie what can I say? Did you expect that this movie was going to be anything else when you knew it was about a monster living in your intestines? You knew before even watching it that it would never win Oscars or whatever price but is that the point of a movie like this? No, it's just a bit of fun for the open minded. Glad I saw it. I certainly had to laugh more in 90 minutes then in 10 seasons of How I met your mother...

When presented with the plot of "Bad Milo" one can't help be a little cautious. A movie about a "butt monster" doesn't seem like the most palatable of premises. But in spite of initial misgivings, this movie was a pleasant surprise.

I really thought this movie was going to be more in line with some of Lloyd Kaufman's Troma flicks after seeing the trailer online. I was prepared for a plethora of poop and penis jokes with little emphasis on story or characters. But what I ended up witnessing was an oddly charming blend of "Basket Case", "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Gremlins."

Ken Marino is a perfectly affable bumbling lead. His development and internal struggle (in more ways than one) with fatherhood are the centerpiece of the movie. I was quite impressed with all the supporting cast as well(Peter Stormare was exceptionally funny.)

After all the blood-splattering and crude jokes you're left with one oddly sentimental story that may even bring a tear to your eye.

JUST WATCH IT.

Minor gore. Minor horror. Several funny, good jokes and several funny, bad jokes.

Why 7/10 stars? Because its exactly what it deserves to be... it never fell apart. If you're laughing 2-6 minutes into the film... It will only continue. Really. I'm not sure anyone could make a better movie about a small demon-creature that exits and re-enters a man's b*tthole, over and over throughout the film.

No one decides to watch 'Bad Milo!' expecting a film on the same scale as The Lord of the Rings or Avatar. Nobody casted Edward Norton and Amy Adams as the leads. And that is no insult to the perfectly casted Ken Marino and Gillian Jacobs. Not to mention fine (humorous) performances by Patrick Warburton, Peter Stormare, and Stephen Root. Particularly, Ken Marino. Almost like a Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead. He plays his character (mostly) seriously. Not like its a SNL skit.

Yes. This movie is "stupid". You should expect the jokes to be as "bad" as Zoolander but a film with a much smaller budget. **The lack of budget is not an issue. The practical effects look good. I appreciated every goofy scene with Milo.

So YES, maybe "stupid". But the plot is only as stupid as the film is silly/funny. It is definitely intended to make you laugh.

If you've come here to find out if this movie is worth watching, because you are now aware the film exists, definitely watch it. Its sort of like Idol Hands, but with an anal-demon instead of a hand.

Did you laugh when Ace Ventura came out of the Rino's butt? If Yes. You can stomach this film too!

Duncan (Ken Marino) is chased by some mysterious horror. Then it flashes back 123 hours. He is in the doctor's office with his wife Sarah (Gillian Jacobs) with a polyp in his colon. He hates his job and his boss Phil (Patrick Warburton) is making him fire people. He has a new therapist Highsmith (Peter Stormare). His mother Beatrice (Mary Kay Place) brings her boyfriend Bobbi (Kumail Nanjiani) and a fertility doctor to dinner. He poops out a monster which kills everyone who causes him stress. He bonds with it naming it Milo.

It has some minor funny moments. Milo himself generates very few laughs. It's a little gross and very perplexing monster. I think the scene coming out in front of the therapist needs to show their connectivity more. Milo can get hurt and Duncan can get hurt in sympathy in that scene. The horror part of the movie isn't that scary. The comedy has a few good scenes. It's a B-movie that is slightly better than a butt monster ought to be.

This site says this movie is comedy and horror but I don't think it's either. It's only funny a few times and there's no horror, but it's still a good movie. Kumail Nanjiani has some very funny lines but Ken Marino only made me laugh once. Toby Huss and Patrick Warburton were great, so was Slippery Pete. With so many funny people I was expecting more comedy but I still liked this movie. You have seen worse.
