Description
See Muffin Man the way it was intended to be seen - in glorious High Definition! This special HD Edition includes a bonus disk with a version of the movie in Windows Media HD.

Muffin Man is a hilarious and frightening look at the obesity epidemic and social dysfunction that led to the extinction of the human race. In the film, anthropologists from a distant galaxy are studying the ancient planet, Earth. Presented "mocumentary" style as a history lesson for alien viewers, the story follows the evolution of humans from Homo Sapiens (Modern Man) to Homo Twinkus (a.k.a. ... Muffin Man), while simultaneously interweaving an age-old love story: Boy meets girl. Boy fights abusive ex-boyfriend to win girl's heart. Boy has an ill-fated encounter with one too many donuts. Through scientific discovery the aliens piece together our story of extinction by consumption. Part Discovery Channel and part Monty Python, Muffin Man is a campy, fun, in your face, and politically incorrect romp across America's warped cultural landscape ... so grab a giant tub of popcorn covered in a buttery flavored substance, supersize that drink, and hang on for the ride!

4 out of 5 stars Muffin Man .......2005-12-13

This is a weird, unconventional independent film. It is thought provoking, if you allow it to be. Muffin Man takes a bizarre, hilarious, bold and even eerie look at the obesity epidemic. Be warned: Go into it without expectations and you will be in for a surprise! Michelle Porras is brilliant and a natural beauty. Too bad she is not in more films. Steve Hodgson played his role very well. He was really very funny playing the role of the Mom.

5 out of 5 stars Great Educational Tool.......2005-11-02

I am a nutritionist for a school district in Texas, and we have a severe obesity problem with our kids. I've started showing Muffin Man to groups of High School kids across the district, and the impact this movie has on the students is incredible. Some have come back and said they would rather have their jaws wired shut, so they don't end up like the Muffin Man.

We've also shown SuperSize Me, which is a great movie but doesn't seem drive home the fact that the kids need to change their own behavior. They just can't blame McDonald's and think the problem will go away.

I've noticed that some of the other reviews say that Muffin Man is "dirty" or "not for kids". There are a few scenes that are somewhat suggestive - but nothing the kids haven't seen before in the theater. I haven't had any complaints from the parents - I've even let my three younger kids see the movie. The educational value is well worth it, if I can change the eating habits of some of my students.

1 out of 5 stars Filthy Dirty!!.......2005-09-29

This was un-rated, and now I know why. It is filthy in several places and unfit for younger children. It is funny at places but the filth ruins all that.

Michelle Porras (Hope) is beautiful. I can't believe she's not a star - I've searched around but haven't found any other movies she's been in. Is Muffin Man a "one hit wonder"? I want more!
