Manos: The Hands of Felt (2014)
MANOS: The Hands of Felt is a puppet musical re-imagining of the cult classic MANOS: The Hands of Fate. The film's story of a family vacation gone horribly wrong combines with the backstage drama of a movie shoot gone horribly wrong to tell the bizarre tale of fertilizer salesman-turned-film director Harold P. Warren. With song and dance numbers. And puppets.

Overrated and overhyped
i must have seen a different film!!
A brilliant film that helped define a genre
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.
First of all, if you don't know the original film that inspired this show, you won't really get a lot of the humour. Fans of the movie (and the second life it has enjoyed, thanks to Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax) should definitely watch it. The show mixes up a spoof 'making of the movie' story with the actual plot (such as it is) of the movie itself. It isn't a quick, lazy knock-off. This is a smartly-written and funny tribute.I'm not sure why the guy who plays Torgo isn't (at the time of this review) credited on IMDb. His performance is a stand-out, from the voice to the gait.But everybody involved should be proud of what they have done. Seek it out, either online or on physical media!
