i absolutly adore it!.......2007-03-04
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I have been laughing all day just thinking about this movie. This is seriously great! The humor throughout was spectacular. Do people not realize that this movie is SUPPOSED to be funny? The irony is that you KNOW there are actually people out there like this. I betcha Morrissey himself loves this. He has a wicked sense of humor. Oh, priceless!
If you want to see a movie about Morrissey's bizarre fanbase and can't take a (fictional)joke, then don't see this movie. Go watch Is It Really So Strange? instead. (Which I thought was WRETCHED, and made me feel ashamed to be a fan.)
This is surely not my all time favorite flick, but I recommend it to ANYONE who has a sense of humor. I love it!
Now.....if you'll excuse me, I have to go make out with my Morrissey poster. M'mmmmm....
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I've never seen anything like it..........2006-10-24
This movie is a riot. I bought it despite the extremely long and detailed reviews saying it was a waste of time. I figured there must have been some reason these people devoted so much MORE of their time to write such long reviews... I wondered, why did it strike a cord with these people? I found out BECAUSE it's NUTS! I'm not an extreme Morrissey fan like the girl in the film, but I am a fan of independent film. As far as low-budget indie films this one takes the cake! Funny, silly, wacky and downright insane at times... kudos to the independent filmmaker that made this film!!
Worst Movie Ever.......2006-04-09
This is the most painful 85 minutes that you will ever sit through. The movie sucks. Nothing about it is funny, just stupid. I think I could make a better movie with my camera phone. stupid.
Beware!.......2005-12-17
Yeah, it's kind of over-the-top funny, especially in the way it portrays the character of a rabid Moz fan (we've all had to stand in line with them, and we've all safely watched from them afar as they tear his tossed shirt into tiny shreds...), but as a movie or a comedy, nothing quite says "low-budget" like this movie. Seriously, it takes about 35 minutes worth of something that would be good sketch comedy and stretches it out into an eternity. This makes "Joe Dirt" look like Oscar material. Find someone who has a copy and borrow it-- the original owner won't even care if you fail to return it. Better yet, save your money and just go buy another bouquet of gladiolas.
Hilarious, low-budget entertainment.......2005-12-08
This isn't a movie for Morrissey fans. They have an actor play Morrissey and they probably didn't want to spring for the cash to add actual Morrissey songs to the soundtrack. It isn't even really about Morrissey, except that Morrissey is the object of the main character's obsession. She doesn't seem to know much about him, including his first name. She refers to him as 'Morrissey from the Smiths.' ("I'm getting married to a famous rock-star." "Who?" "Oh, a certain guy named... MORRISSEY! You know, from the SMITHS!") Nor she does accept that he's gay and she violently rebukes anyone who suggests that he might be.
The movie is very absurdist dark comedy. The acting is very over-the-top, almost like Saturday Night Live, and its obvious they're having a ton of fun on the set. The storyline is weak and the characterization is two-dimensional, but it all fits into the movie's absurdity. It follows the Morrissey-obsessed young lady through her descent into madness as she goes from stalking the city for Morrissey to acting out her marriage to him to making love to a blow-up doll with Morrissey's face taped on. There are many long scenes in which she's tonguing Morrissey posters on the wall, arguing with her blow-up doll, or shouting his name in personal ecstasy. The movie switches between her personal life, stalking Morrissey at night (at one point she runs into a tough gang of marker-sniffing schoolgirls) to her work-life where her bosses pile jobs on her and the 'popular' female colleagues make fun of her, partly over her love for the company's free bagels.
Very entertaining if you're into this sort of thing. You don't have to like Morrissey to enjoy it, you just need a tolerance for extreme weirdness and a good sense of humor.
