Bowser Makes a Movie (2005) User Reviews

it is what it is

[shadowblitz · 5/10 · 29 June 2009]

I am not too sure where on stand after finishing watching the film. Was it the best acting and directing, no it was not. But I certainly was amused by the movie, and most definitely shocked by the ending, how could I not laugh, it lifted my spirits.

But the movie, like the goal of any was to tell a story, and it did though as sped up and fictitious as can be. I do not feel in the least that time was wasted watching it. I'm sure the writers and director had fun shooting it. I had fun watching it. It's not in my top 10, but not the worst movie I've ever seen.

It's innocent and enjoyable, and I didn't feel at any point of the movie that it was trying to be pretentious or anything else then it was, which is more then can be said for most Hollywood films.

Props!!

Atrocious excuse for a movie

I can't believe this film. The acting is terrible, the script is ridiculous, and the film making is embarrassing. I couldn't find a single redeeming quality for this movie.

The movie is basically about a kid, Bowser, who decides he wants to be an adult film director. He has numerous obstacles (disapproving parents, raising money, and a vengeful ex-boss) that he has to overcome before realizing his dream.

I can't express how badly this movie was. My god... my friend and I were furious after watching this. It barely even qualifies as a gay film in the first place. This is truly a step down for gay cinema.

It is a comedy!

Compared to the horrible song (FILM NOIR) and the horrible voice singing it, during the end credits, the movie is very good! It is a comedy and we supposed to laugh while we watch this boy attempting against all odds to become what he thinks is the only thing he could do well... and not, even the movie has to be done by someone else...

Toby Ross, who happens to be an excellent director or actual porn movies, is trying to cross over to mainstream, and is not being easy for him. At least here, we don't get to see nudity or sexual scenes like many other gay movies show. This is a serious gay comedy, and I liked it.

Bad Doesn't Even Describe It

Bad doesn't even begin to describe this movie. I suffered through this movie for the sake that it might get better, but it didn't. I think having my toe nails pulled out with rusty pliers would have been more enjoyable.

On the plus side, the only reason it's getting 2 stars, Mathew Goldman Mr. Belami (Bowers boss) was nice to look at. Mimi Marks (Mrs. Belmai) had some wonderful lines and I found she made me laugh once or twice and then there was Matthew Harrison (Bowser's Dad, bless him) who could actually act but was given such crap to work with that there was no where for him to go.

I would say avoid this movie at all cost. If it came between this movie and "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" watch the Tomatoes.
