Hmm and uhhh and woo hoo

I started wondering awhile back is it possible to laugh out loud I mean I see people do it, but I couldn't tell you from experience. Well I think I just found out thanks to the Mann Brothers and There film Glitter sorry I mean Uchuujin.

If you don't know the story It has to do with a man, A SALESMAN who is abducted by Aliens, and held captive for Five years. He is then beamed down to earth, and told that he shall be the next alien hunter let the craziness begin.

From the opening scene on a radio to the twisting of an ending it's a laugh out loud gross out, offensive funny movie. The Mann brother's make no qualms about there goal for the movie, and they present it with pizazz and well other objects.

I was actually really surprised by some of the characters in the movie most actually made me laugh out loud, and that doesn't happen very often.

I won't spoil to much for you because it needs to be seen to enjoy. I've give credit where credits do, and actually believe if promoted right could be a cult hit, But don't take it from me watch Blair Witch Project... I mean Uchuujin see for yourself if Torgo is as retarded as you think, and can Musashi save the world only Uchuujin will tell.

Damn good time that will inspire every amateur film-maker!

After almost a year of production, "Uchuujin From Outter Space", the new feature from the guys who brought you "Johnny's Odyssey", has hit DVD! The story, written by Johnny Mann (and directed by his brother, Danny Mann, Jr.), centers around a Salesman who becomes abducted and held captive by a group of aliens ("uchuujins") for several years. At his escape, he becomes "Musashi: Alien Hunter", and forms a hunting party out of some of the least likely characters--including his retarded brother Torgo! Those who know the humor of Danny and Johnny Mann (or have seen "Johnny's Odyssey"), know that they don't hold back when it comes to the gross-factor. However, this time they have been aided with the skillful special effects and make up artist, Ricky Lee Leonard (who does some acting in the film, too). Trent Haagaa (Troma's "Killjoy 2") and Lloyd Kaufman (Troma Films President and actor in several of those films) also add production value to this low-budget film! 'Uchuujin' will literally have you laughing uncontrollably! It's even surprisingly dramatic at points. And throughout all of the zaniness, the story actually is pretty well thought out, and even a bit twisty! The characters are all fun to watch, especially when they're together.

In closing, the only drawback I had with the film is that it's a little too long and some of the scenes do run a little past their joke. But it's not enough to make me change my mind that this is definitely one of my new favorite movies! I've been looking forward to it's release for almost a year now and it did not disappoint! Amateur filmmakers will feel inspired to go out and make their own movies. This is destined to become a cult hit! So just sit back, relax and let yourself have a good time with 'Uchuujin From Outter Space'!
