To Planktonrules Slap-Happy Film - (curious reviews and notions)


Hello Planktonrules from Florida

As a general rule I search for your reviews, either before I watch, or just after I've looked at a show. We mostly tend to enjoy the same qualities within a film.
But this time I'm taken by surprise with your comments on this little gem!

Could it have something to do with the fact you come from Florida or simply that you found it so generally disappointing? Yes, I admit it's a tad violent at times, but this tends to be kept in context with the story...unlike many from today's writers and filmmakers.

As for the main characters, there always tends to be a professional respect - along with a wish things could turn out better between the hapless victims. I know it takes all kinds of views to make the world go round but this was a very rare occasion that I was surprised by your overall comments for this remarkable low budget pic (some other 'strange' notions out there for this one also...!)

Best regards Plankton (good name and dog shot!) and keep those reviews comin' in.

Note:
I had not caught this movie till last week and I've only just posted my completed review today, find it curious that this film is so little known.. be interested to share what you think...either way!
