Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A simple case of the media munchies: a post Groove Tube variety pack offering some twenty different send-ups of American movies, TV and commercials. Sticking quite happily to the level of parody, it's full of energy, good nature, and the gross-out humour of fairly obvious targets (the tits and bums of a sexploitation trailer; the festering stiff of a TV charity appeal for the dead). The central sketch is an excellent spoof of Enter the Dragon. Great fun for an undemanding night out.Author: HM
