From it's compelling opening titles sequence, until the final scene, Artie Saves the Hood is a lot of fun. Yes, it's obviously very low budget, but quite good considering its limitations. The story involves a go no where loser who finds himself battling aliens from another dimension. A little like Shaun of the Dead meets Aliens meets Clerks? Absolutely. While some of the acting is rough around the edges, it's no more so than Kevin Smith's early work, and the movie proves to be laugh out loud funny.
For the most part, Artie Saves the Hood has got a great pace, soundtrack, effective off the wall special effects, and some strong laughs. A terrific party film.
