While nothing that's going to win any Oscars, "Bit Parts" is an OK flick for a slow afternoon. It's actually sort of cute, in a perverse way. The acting isn't as bad as one often sees in low-budget horror flicks and it doesn't take itself too seriously. I mean, c'mon, anytime you have a mad plastic surgeon standing over a patient delivering the line, "One booby... two boobies..." you can't hate the flick too much.
It's not terribly memorable on most counts, but the daddy/daughter scenes aren't bad. There's even a bit of chemistry between the actors playing those parts. The rest is pretty hit-and-miss and there are a few big plot holes (e.g., the female lead could have called the police on her cell phone without leaving the mad surgeon's house, so the line "I'm not leaving here without Melissa!" in response to the cabbie's suggestion about fetching the police is rather a miss on the writer's part).
Still, it's one of those movies that one might have seen on the old "Up All Night" show, and who knows, maybe an edited version will show up on the SciFi channel one of these days.
Nothing great, but not terrible, either. Like I said, it's kinda cute.
