I'm sorry guys but, gosh, the plot devices were a little vague, some did not make any sense at all.
The movie just takes place in a silly little universe of its own, but the aesthetic created here doesn't make you want to stay. Its messy and a little convoluted about what's going on at any one particular time.
I did not particularly find Glenn Robbins to be overly funny, when the punchline is a mere mention of a tranny , watch out. Ed Kavalee has a natural glowing comedy presence here. It was that annoying partner trying too hard to emulate a 'Hot Fuzz' vibe that just drowns him out though. The annoying guy, ugh, the plot, ugh ...
So (just for me) Kavalee and Shelton stood out as genuine scene- stealers, the script needed to be run past someone who would be brutally honest, and the casting misfired with almost every character. On such a tight budget these crucial matters need extra attention.
This could have been a really fun, honest piece but the sense is that its trying so very hard to be liked and emulate other things, like 'Hot Fuzz' for example. Its grabbing at disparate elements but doesn't grab an audience.
Instead this is so indistinct. Where are they? Why would there be a caravan there? What are they doing in the caravan? For the life of me I couldn't quite kinda tell you.
The collaboration between these two particular writers was not so successful. They needed a third party to swoop in and really give it a going-over to make sure the plot devices that carry it forward are clear and make sense. Otherwise, what a waste of money!
