Movie Reviews of Cannibal! The Musical
Movie Review: Horribly Funny
Summary: 5 Stars
To be honest, I thought this was a horrible movie. However, I also thought it was the funniest movie I have ever seen. There's not alot of movies out there about cannibalism that are funnier than heck, but this one is. From the first scene to the last, it's a laugh riot. I can't believe how they did this masterpiece on $125,000! Oh, The director's commetary is definately worth Listening to. If ya want to hear them get drunk whilst commenting on this flick, then listen to the DC. I find myself whistling the opening song almost daily. #The sky is blue, and all the leaves are green. The sun is warm as a baked potato# You just can't beat such absurd songs. in a way, this movie is like a drug - you just can't get enough of it. The only real downside is the bad acting. I admit, for them being in collage, they did a good job on the movie. The only "real" actor in this movie is the guy who played the prosecuting attorney, and even then he didn't do a wonderful job. But, all in all, this movie is defiantely worth looking at. Actually get it on DVD, that way you won't wear it out too fast. Also, You may recognize the opening song of the movis from the end of South Park - ya know the advertisement for the airline. Well, bon appetit.Movie Review: it made me hurt
Summary: 5 Stars
This has to be one of the most hysterical movies I've seen in a long time. Trey Parker and Matt Stone filmed this one during one of their Spring Breaks while they were still in college. It's loosely based on a true story of a man tried and convicted of murdering and eating his counterparts on the way through the Rockies. The acting is terrible. The cinematography stinks. The beginning credits take a year to get through. It's so bad it's good. Troma was smart to snatch up this gem.The extra stuff on the DVD is FANTASTIC. The commentary is worth the price of the disc alone. You watch the move, then watch with the commentary. I laughed just as hard (if not harder) through the comments as I did through the movie itself.
The original songs are catchy, witty, and all written by Trey and performed by the cast (for the most part). You'll end up singing/humming them for days after you watch it. I have been for months, now. I made a friend of mine sit down and watch it with me for the first time. She's not the type to like Trey and Matt's humor - she went home (Australia) and bought the sound track. "I think I know precisely what I mean, when I say, 'It's a shpadoinkle day!'"
Movie Review: Fudge, Packer?
Summary: 5 Stars
Trey Parker takes the milk-toast, wholesome feel of an Oklahoma-style Musical and, with a nudge and a wink, uses this format to tell the true story of starvation, murder, and CANNIBALISM on the old frontier. The result is insanely funny.The music is dead-on. Parker is a damned good commercial composer/musical satirist. His uncanny ability to nail any style and then accentuate certain aspects and mock that style is featured in this movie, as well as his Southpark series, and most convincingly, in "Southpark: Bigger Longer and Uncut." But let me tell you, these songs are really funny. The Trappers song always has me gasping for air. "Let's Build a Snowman," is one of the funniest moments in any movie that I can recall.
Several of the scenes in this movie are of the "so funny it hurts" variety. The funniest scene in the movie is also the goriest. I have never seen gore and humor come together like this. You should know which scene I am talking about and I don't want to spoil it. This scene is Monty Python-at-its-best-funny and that my friends, is really friggin funny.
Movie Review: What about the Aliens?
Summary: 5 Stars
One thing that everyone fails to mention is the alien heads that appear throughout the film. I've found four so far, but I'm curious to see if there are more. For everyone who would like to see them, look carefully at the snowman during "Let's Build a Snowman," then look in the background when they're eating the first victim. Towards the end of the movie, at the bar-room brawl part, look at the cow skull. I also think...but I'm not sure... that an alien walks in the background in the Indian Reservation.Please post if you've seen other Aliens in the movie. The cover of the movie shows four aliens, but I'm not positive about the Indian reservation part.
This is...without a doubt...one of my top five favorite films. I first saw it right before South Park came on the air, and had no clue that the two were related until someone told me. Nowadays, whenever I watch the "Braniff" logo at the end of South Park, I'm forced to sing the Shpadoinkle song.
Movie Review: What ? Troma did not make Cannibal!
Summary: 5 Stars
Now I understand that everybody who likes Cannibal!The Musical will know that it was made by WRONG! No, it was only put out on VHS & DVD by Troma,but had nothing to do with perduction of the film! Cannibal was a film that was refused by all the mayjor film companys, for exp. universal said that " cannibal is one of the worst musicals ever made!" and so thay tried to get other movie companys approved but..... was just flushed down the toliet. So thier last stop was Troma witch approved thr movie and was released by Troma.I saw this movie on Hot Choice ( A PPV channel) and thats when I first saw it and I thought to my self ( Now I know Troma made a film about cannibalism and it was a Musical and I said " This cannot be A Troma Movie".And they say " Every time you think of Cannibal! The Musical,Think Troma!" "BULL!"
