Great Film overall

An absolute waste of money

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The makers of My Boyfriends Back, obviously saw this film a number of times. The likable cast of unknowns help to pull this above the majority of 80s cult wannabes.The plot centers around six friends trying to score some weed to loosen up their prom dates. It's been a very dry year, so only dealer Moose(who Backlash007 perfectly described as a meshing of Jerry Stiller with Cheech Marin) has the only "weed" in town. His product is subpar to say the least, so the buddies decide to get a refund, which Moose refuses to honor. This leads to the guys killing Moose, and disposing of his body in a contaminated river. Well, the contamination brings Moose back from the dead, as a crazed revenge seeking zombie. After Moose kills baseball stud Dan(a remarkable performance by Michael Rubin), his friends decide to dump his body into the river, thus re-animating him to serve as undead protection from the zombie Moose.This film is very clever, in the league of Evil Dead and Re-Animator, and should be considered a great cult film. Personally, my favorite scene was when Dan day-dreams about swatting a clutch homerun, that kills the crazed Moose. Well worth a look for people who like witty comedy sprinkled with their horror.

I was dopey enough some years ago to buy a used tape of this from a Blockbuster. I thought it might be fun in a campy sorta way. I wasn't expecting much in the way of high class entertainment. Well, I watched the whole movie. I concluded that it sucked -- a lot. I quickly sold the VHS for a buck, mad at myself that I had spent 2 bucks on this sh*t. Ugh!I'm not gonna discuss the plot. You can read about what passes for the plot from another commenter. I can only say I wasn't entertained at all. I don't have high standards for movies like this, but even my low-rent standards were compromised by this pile of garbage. There are several movies whose negatives I wish I could destroy. This is one of them.I might add that any readers who don't find this review useful are the kind of retards the director made this movie for. So there.

If you are a member of the "It's so bad its good" crowd you are going to love this movie..We have it all here friends...Men who are obviousley in their late 20's trying to play high school students and a vietnam war veteran drug dealer who looks like an 18 year old freddy mercury! Yep it's cue card heaven..Theres a guy that looks like a fat rick nelson from cheap trick (even wears a cap)...there is a henry winkler (fonzie) character...I could go on but what's the use..Check the bottom shelf of your local video store's horror section..dust this thing off and take it home you're sure to find it giggle inducing.

This movie smells worse than a rotting corpse. The film maker wasn't interested in little things like continuity, synchronized dialogue, or comprehensible shot angles. I'm undecided on whether to put this in the "it's so bad it's good" category because it may just be too horrible. Watch it and decide for yourselves.
