Thanks for the memories!

Sadly Over-hyped

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is one of the WORST movies I have ever seen. All these glowing reviews are pure BS and posted by people connected to this God-awful movie. It's too bad there is no way to stop these fake reviews but ... there really isn't any way to control it. The movie is slow, boring and NOT FUNNY at all. Are the executive producers of these type of movies doing drugs? Are they really this far out of touch with reality that they don't know what a "good" movie consists of anymore? Is it that they are in that "inner circle" of Hollywood muckety-mucks so as to get the funding for these horrible movies? At least nine out of ten of the movies I watch are worthless. This one is pretty much at the bottom of the heap. Be prepared to fast forward, turn your DVD player/TV off or just plain walk away from this piece of junk.

I was lucky enough to see this movie a couple of weeks ago and it was absolutely hilarious! I honestly could not stop laughing the entire time! The entire theme of the movie is down right hysterical. Gary Coleman's overall attitude and sarcasm throughout the film had me laughing so hard my stomach hurt! The concept is that a deceased littler person sets up a contest where a team of midgets and a team of mascot compete against each other for a prize of $ 10 million. My favorite movies are pineapple express and Jackass, and after seeing MVM I have to admit that it is definitely up there! I would not recommend taking your mother or grandmother to this movie because some of the jokes are a bit crude but if you enjoy that kind of humor, like I do, you will absolutely love this film!

This movie is downright funny. Crude at times but if you like the humor it's a must-see. Five midgets and five mascots compete in challenges for 30 days to win a million dollars. The benefactor, little Richard's father, is a midget as well and will provide the money to the winning team. Both teams battle through challenges ranging from crocodile wrestling to beer chugging. The mascots try to complete the challenges in their suits while the "little people" (to be politically correct) combat discrimination and attempt to beat the mascots twice their size. The movie ends in a funny and feel good way, and although the ending could use some work, it is defiantly worth seeing.

The film's website describes it as a kind of Borat-meets-Jackass. Sounded interesting, so I attended one of the Tribeca showings. The description turned out to be right on -- lots of wild stunts, plenty of offensive material, and (believe it or not) a really good performance by Gary Coleman, though it's hard to tell if he was acting. The good news is that it was better than many of the raunchy (and not-so-raunchy) comedies that have come out over the last 4-5 years. And despite all of the nastiness, the film delivers a pretty decent message at the end as the little people pull together and the mascots give them some respect. Overall, it's worth seeing. Just don't take your grandmother.
