Blubberella (2011)
4/10
Almost made Bloodrayne 3 worth watching
21 June 2011
A bit like an Aaron Seltzer/Jason Friedberg movie. Not really a superhero film although it realises that in a voice-over of the credits. Where should I start with this title? With Uwe Boll's rampage, I was hoping for something better, but was stuck with trash. Apparently this is a money making movie, as he fronts his own production company and shot this and Bloodrayne scene for scene. He mocks/parodies his own movie whilst putting in sex jokes, food, flatulence, and pop culture references. This movie was immature but made be chuckle at some bits. (rosebud, resistance fighter 1 ETC).

However, you have to see this as it is. Light entertainment for those with low IQ. It stands on its own feet as a film and contains some funny references to film making, which often breaks the third wall. Sadly too often, but if your a Boll fanatic this is worth a rent. Its use in title cards was effective, and most the time the wacky music set the tone perfectly. The actors were more suited to this than its counterpart, as the goofy feeling of the film even allowed Clint Howard's character not to annoy me. That being said there was an obligatory homosexual, and this film really felt to me like an attempt to follow a spoof formulae, as the film failed to live up to its premise (IE, the beginning which was of higher quality).

In conclusion, it was some funny moments, but they are over done for the dumb. By the way, the protagonist is a fat vampire. Its really hard to remember that throughout the film.
