What a great movie. Don't expect anything too special in ways of cinematography or complex deep meaning in the plot. Expect really stupid humor and lots of gonad and poop jokes. That is what is so great about it! A movie that can actually show reality just like it is. A bunch of really awkward people behaving awkwardly, showing over the top quirks, and pretending to be someone they're not because who they are is just too depressing. Michael Angarano stars as Benjamin, a kid from a small town in Utah who is an aspiring Science Fiction author. He has written a novella based on his father and, well, yeast. And flying cyborg deer with lasers and missiles. He attends a scifi aspiring author's convention where he meets his one of his heroes. Jemaine Clemens does an awesome job as the self centered, extremely spacey science fiction writer Ronald Chevalier. On the trip he also meets some new friends. One a girl who quickly becomes infatuated with Benjamin and her friend who is a big time producer in his own garage studio. Intertwined into this story are live action scenes from Benjamin's prize novella "Yeast Lords" starring Sam Rockwell as Bronco, who's gonads have been stolen from him for some reason I still don't quite understand. I won't give away much more of the movie. I'll just give you a list of a few of my favorite scenes.
1) The hand massage on the bus (NOBODY! needs that much lotion).
2) Chevalier giving his lecture on how to make better character names (Broncanus)
3) Chevalier revealing the never before seen 47 alternate book cover art from his original series "The Cyborg Harpies", especially the mammary cannons shooting laser rain
4) Chevalier revealing the never before heard lyrics to the Harpie Queen's lullaby
5) Movie trailer of the love story between Benjamin and the crazy girl (Fatal Attraction anyone?)
6) The vomit kiss... need I say more?
7) Benjamin's new guardian angel arrives with the pooping snake.
8) Ben's mother trying to cram his popcorn car through the jail bars.
9) The alternate ending (Chavalier's version) of Brutus and Balzaak.
10) The final battle scene of Yeast Lords!
Finally, I saved this one for last because it is my favorite part of the movie, Ben fights back. Taking out the guy with the poop needle and punching Chevalier with the miniature souvenir pillow. It was nice to see the poor kid finally stand up for himself and those people important to him. Needless to say, I highly recommend this film to anyone in the mood for a good lighthearted comedy with a fun story and likable characters. By the way, I'll go ahead and throw this in because I was reminded of it by Lonnie's movies. There really are people out there that make movies that bad. Go here. I personally recommend starting out with "She Hulk". As for Gentleman Broncos, I give a 10 out of 10.
