review by Mike Haberfelner

Now I'll not even try to concoct a synopsis for this movie - as quite
simply this film doesn't have a comprehensive plot, and has never set out
to have one. Instead its a loving hommage to Troma-style
low budget filmmaking, done in a series of skits and snippets wildly
varying in technical quality, and put together in an associative rather
than narratively coherent manner, some featuring beloved Troma
characters like
Sgt. Kabukiman, Dolphinman
and the Toxic
Avenger of course, or even Troma
figureheads like Lloyd Kaufman, Trent Haaga and Doug Sakman, others just
diving into the brand of humour generally associated with Troma,
including bathroom humour and sexual disorientation - and at times even
early John Waters shines through a bit. And while some of the
jokes are admittedly driven home way too bluntly and suffer from
repitition, one can clearly feel the love that went into making this
movie, and if you're at all into this style of low budget filmmaking,
you're more than likely find plenty to enjoy about this one!
