Plump Fiction (1998)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Don't believe the hype! This movie is stupid and has no humor. There's not a single clever or funny line in this thing. Sorry, but almost every joke in this film is absolutely pointless. That said, some great costumes and dialog move it all along. All of the fancy characters struggle against a system that has perpetuated falsehoods, and there seems to be gentle fisticuffs back and forth with those who claim to work for justice. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them.

This has to be the funniest spoof movie ever. I can't for the life of me figure out why it has so many bad reviews? Did all these people not see all the movies the film is ripping on? If you haven't, I can see why. It is required that at the very least, you first watch: Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers, Forest Gump, Clerks, and Nell. The lines are just too good. Even the gags in Airplane get old after the 1st or 2nd time you have seen it, but this movie is funny over and over. The actors are great in their delivery. You could tell they really had a great time making the flick. The classic line has to be when Sandra Bernhard says to the dim-witted Forest Gump character in the restaurant (after he tries to say the "stupid is as stupid does" line: "If you say that stupid line one more time, I'm going to execute you and every other pancake-eating mother ****er in here." I lose it ever time! My girlfriend and I watch it together and can't catch our breath we are laughing so hard. I mean, the whole Reservoir Nuns scene… awesome! How can you not find that funny? It's like one of the other reviewers noted, either you get it or you don't. Also don't forget to watch the credits all the way through as the bloopers are in there and they are great. This is my favorite comedy of all time. I recommend it highly.

Ever since Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker broke up, we've been hard pressed to find good parody movies. The Scary Movies gave us a laugh or two, but nothing like Airplane! or The Naked Gun. Plump Fiction is a hit-or-miss parody of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Natural Born Killers, and other violent, (usually) Tarantino movies. Some of it works, some doesn't, but after a while, you just want to quit.Jimmy (Paul Dinello) and Julius (Tommy Davidson) are two exterminators who are sent by their boss Montello (Robert Costanzo) to eliminate rodents from Nicky (Matthew Glave) and Vallory (Pamela Segall) Cox's apartment. Jimmy also has to take Montello's plump wife Mimi (Julie Brown) out to lunch. Throw in some references to the overbudgeting of Waterworld, some Priscilla: Queen of the Desert and Forrest Gump, and that's Plump Fiction.The movie starts off well. It's almost scene for scene with Pulp, and with some very funny bits poking fun at Pulp, such as Jimmy's fascination with telling people what they call things in different countries. Basically, most of the parodies are pretty funny, until about halfway through the movie. Then it gets boring, unfunny, and repetitive. The whole Reservoir Nuns gag was one of the worst things I've ever seen. It's just a bunch of people in nun outfits cursing. For ten minutes. Plump Fiction does have its moments, and Tommy Davidson is awesome, but ultimately, it fails in becoming a lasting parody. It's almost like an SNL skit turned movie. None of those work out.My rating: 5/10Rated R for strong language and violence.

I consider myself to have a decent sense of humor, but this "movie" left me stunned in my chair.It's so bad that it could just not have been any worse. Not once did I laugh at the sadly attempted jokes in this movie. I have watched and enjoyed several parodies of big movies, but unfortunately this one will allways be the one I remember best - in my nightmares.The only reason anyone should want to watch this, is if they want to enter a coma for a brief period of time.This is the worst movie ever.
