WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Woodyanders Bar owner Joe (a likable performance by Carmine Capobianco, who also co-wrote the script and composed the score) and manicurist Kate (winingly played by adorable redhead cutie Debi Thibeault) find true love with each other. They share a mutual affinity for killing random strangers and a vehement disdain for grapes. Joe and Kate get married and continue to bump folks off together. Director/co-writer Gorman Bechard whips up a blithely depraved, yet bouncy and silly tongue-in-cheek black comedy romp that benefits tremendously from its gleefully sick tone, outrageously excessive over-the-top splatter, plentiful tasty female nudity, and the funny and strangely endearing central romance between the two engagingly quirky main characters. Capobianco and Thibeault display an utterly appealing off-center chemistry as our lovably unhinged protagonists; they even sing the priceless cute'n'catchy theme song during a hysterical cornball music montage sequence. Moreover, there are nifty supporting contributions by Frank Stewart as deranged cannibal plumber Herman and Donna Davidge as shrill and whiny bored stiff motormouth Heather. As an added substantial bonus, the gorgeous Cecilia Wilde struts her smoking hot stuff as sexy stripper Nikki while Ruth Collins, LeeAnn Baker, luscious "Penthouse" Pet Angela Nicholas, and Patti Chambers all bare their beautiful bodies. The admittedly gross and twisted gallows humor is made both amusing and tolerable by being presented in a disarmingly casual and playful manner. Bechard's crude cinematography, the tacky make-up f/x, several choice gags about breaking through the fourth wall (for example, the boom mike purposefully dips into the frame at one point!), and Capobianco's cheesy synthesizer score all further enhance the movie's considerable lopsided charm. A total off-the-wall riot.
melloyellobiafra I don't know how many times I have watched this movie. If I had to guess I'd say I have seen it somewhere between 50 and 75,000 times and it has never stopped being funny. Well, there was that summer where I was held captive by Adolf Smucker and brainwashed into loving grapes. During that time I could find nothing funny about Joe and Kate's anti-grape hate speech. Fortunately, I have shaken off the effects of that terrible ordeal and am free to enjoy this excellent movie once again.Now Go and get your grubby paws on this masterpiece. You will not be disappointed.
brandonsites1981 Two serial killers fall madly in love with one another and that's just about all the plot you are gonna get out of this film. This is supposed to be a spoofing of the genre in general. Some of the jokes really hit home ( ex. when they buy a VCR and start renting movies), but some fall really flat on there face. The muscial numbers don't really work and feel as though they belong in another film. The two leads are alright. The producers and director did the best job they could considering how low the budget was.Unrated; Strong Graphic Violence, Nudity, Rape, Sexual Situations, and Profanity.
greenie420 This movie really sucks . That is what makes it so good. The " I hate grapes" dialogue foretells that this is one of the worst written screenplays of all time . Even the sound effects are overdone . Ed Wood couldn't have done it (Better)? . Whatever. This is a must not see .
