I can't believe how badly reviewed this film is, I'm actually taken aback. Honestly, it doesn't deserve to cop this flack. This spoof on QT's masterpiece, I know would do him proud. Actually you won't believe how funny this film is, until you see it. It's funnier than you expect in this much shorter film, still done chronologically to it's predecessor, with very long chunks taken out, in between, the impressively smart writers know they're stuff, throwing a lot of inventive gags, taking the p..s out of Fiction's leads, John, Samuel, Uma, while mocking some other '94 hits, One being Priscilla, and Ada from The Piano. It also sends up QT's former hits, Reservoir Dogs, and more so Natural Born Killers, Mickey and Mallory, wonderfully impersonated, especially Mallory where the two come up against Jimmy and Jules, a few times. After all they have a job, but's it's extermination of a different kind, where the latter mentioned, wuzz out, as they hit the ground running. Honestly, this movie is a laugh a thon, which even takes pokes at the Eric Stoltz, selling hash scene, where you really gotta see it to believe it. The Mia here has, as illustrated by the title, an insatiable appetite for food and sex. How the end comes together as to the start/Denny's scene, is just classic, it much betters the original. Even JJ appears, and we actually get to see what's in the briefcase. The actors are great, they so represent and perfectly imitate the others, some kind of award should be granted to them, evidence they're so many damn talented people in L.A. They are so many inventively different gags to the scenes, it's so smartly and comically written, the humour is just non stop. If a fan of Pulp Fiction, you owe to QT to watch this. Just see it, devoid of a lot of negative feedback. I know in my heart, Quentin would love this spoof. It may just whet your appetite or turn you off food forever. Even the prologue, doesn't escape a mocking, or Bernhard's poor loose script, that keeps taking a beating.
