This is nostalgia at its most wrong, but also, for those of a certain mindset, it might prove a lost treasure from the trash - like the woman's arm that a passing bum finds in Donald's rubbish bin, and repurposes as a crotch- and back-scratcher. Go to Full Review

Vegetarians beware, this is a meateaters delight and the faint of heart should probably steer clear. Go to Full Review

...the movie's extreme incompetence ensures that even the most open-minded of viewers will find nothing worth embracing here. Go to Full Review

Dallas H. @FozzieMcFly 2d Watching a white man explain to a black man about the art of getting into the flow and rhythm of music is hilariously absurd. And the rest of the movie is satirically all downhill from there. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Aug 6 It was worse than I expected, but I did like the ending. See more Horror fan 4 Jan 18 It's cheesy horror fun. Seeing Jackie Vernon on screen was cool but all I could hear is frosty the snowman lol. Tim Treakle See more Brianna B 02/16/2024 This movie is SO awful that it's great! Watch this movie with your friends, I promise you, you will have a great time! See more 03/07/2021 This movie has a lot of comedic value. The storyline is very unique, you find a construction worker (Jackie Vernon) who is fed up with his wife's mediocre cooking, he decides the take things into his own hands and in a drunken rage strangles his wife to death and hides her body in the microwave. From there he gets an idea. The movie is very fun, when you're not looking at it from a critical standpoint. You have funny characters played by amateur actors. The movie seems almost like an improv comedy sketch. And maybe that's why I liked it so much. I would recommend it to anyone looking for fun with a buddy or anyone looking for a laugh.
