My Big Fat Independent Movie

2005 · 80 min

A rapid-fire spoof that throws jokes at you nonstop, funniest if you know the indie films it mocks.

Tagline: The Hitmen. The Swinger. The Not So Good Girl. Together they'll discover Action, Culture, Mystery, Romance (and Lesbians?) in the most Pretentious, Artsy, Violent, Botched Heist film EVER MADE! Taking the highbrow world of Independent Film to all new lows!
Overview: This hilariously smart satire tells the story of Johnny Vince, a swingin' hepcat who meets hitman Sam and Harvey on a road trip to pull a "botched robbery" in Las Vegas. Along the way they take a deeply unfulfilled not-so-good-girl hostage, encounter the mysterious Mechanic, get harassed by a foul-mouthed answering machine... and did we mention the lesbians? The result - hilarity ensues!
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, campy and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, art, crime, identity
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
