Vulgar (Unrated Edition)

Rating:
Summary: A Dark, Savage Comedy.
Review: Some have obviously termed this movie as depraved and uncomfortable, and they are absolutely right. "Vulgar" is the definition in films of acquired taste, you're either into it or you're not. Granted "Vulgar" in general is not great cinema, it's not even great independent filmmaking, but from the first scene it is clear what the movie's intentions are and in that sense it succeeds. What director Bryan Johnson gives us is a dark comedy mixed with the trappings of the typical psycho movie. From the start Johnson chooses a subject that is already creepy to some people, clowns, and then throws in homosexual rape, paranoia and a gunfight finale to make this into PURE B-movie material. Had Kevin Smith not produced this movie it could indeed have been worse than what people already think it to be. As a dark comedy it works, we laugh and feel guilty sometimes about it (at least some of us), the story has a creepy of way of getting under your skin with the gritty, low-grade photography and isolated settings, there's even a strangeness to the dialogue and though some complain about the sound mix, it adds to the movie's weird allure. Like the much superior "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Vulgar" looks cheap but that is precisely how it manipulates the mood of the viewer. Even the music sounds like that dark monotone score you hear in the occasional PSA on television. Yes, it is true that the actors aren't exactly A-list stuff, but this is a small budget production and you can't expect anymore from it than what it is capable of delivering. "Vulgar" is creepy, strange and certainly memorable, it is not great but for those looking for something RADICALLY different, here's a movie that fits that category.

Summary: Underrated
Review: Please give this film a try. I disagree that this film is badly acted and unrealisted. This film is ugly and it's uncouth, but that's what American cinema needs. It needs to show pain that isn't glamorized. Human beings are pretty darn ugly and evil down deep. We're not natually good and wholesome. This movie shows how ugly we are. Watch this movie for a good reality shock.

Summary: ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN
Review: First off, the guy who wrote the spotlight reveiw saying this
is a light hearted family movie, should be carted off to jail.
Shame on you!! This movie is not only disgusting, it is poorly
written, has an unbelievable plot, and the acting is terrible.
It has no redeeming qualities, and deserved a X rating. Hey, I'm
a pretty liberal guy. Open minded too, but this film is simply
garbage. I played it back-to-back with I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, and
would recommend that one over this one any day. With either,
keep children,teenagers, and the easily influenced far,far away.
Just tellin' it the way it is.
Thanks,
Tom

Summary: This film isn't vulgar
Review: It seems that a lot of people are missing the point of this film. It isn't exploiting rape and violence. It's giving the viewer a close look at the horror and shame of being the victim. The film doesn't dwell on the attack, but looks at what happens next. There is a bit of fun and silly stuff in it too, just like life.....but then we are caught off-guard.
Maybe the problem is that everyone expected the Kevin Smith "formula", which is great fun, and probably the reason we all watched this to begin with. But this is very different.
I think it was a very brave human study and I hope Bryan Johnson has more for us.
Just remember...Nobody said it was a comedy!
And Kevin....thanks for helping with this!

Summary: PAY ATTENTION
Review: why is everyone calling this a kevin smith film? bunch of idiots. yes, it's a view askew produced flick, and yes, kevin does appear in the movie, but HELLO!!!! he neither wrote nor directed it, merely lent a helping hand to brian o' halloran, (i know i misspelled it), to get HIS movie made. can't you people read??? sheesh. but anyway, yes it's disturbing film, intentionally so. but thank jeebus people still have the guts to make flicks like this instead of another tedious, hollywood formulaic piece of garbage. kudos to all involved. it's a great flick. but if you're looking for a humorous jay and silent bob flick, this isn't it brother.

Summary: I really thought it was good?!
Review: What's wrong with you people? This is the best of all Kevin Smith movies! When I invite my girlfriend to bed I commonly use the term...."I'm gonna make hate to you." That is hilarious! The only downer is the Silent Bob and J weren't themselves. But the humor and content in this more than make up for it. It's about a clown who is down on his luck and comes up with the idea to put on funny kinky shows at batchlor parties. Well...these(you can't say the F,G,H,or Q word here)alternative life style inbred rednecks discovered his add and decided they wanted to make hate to him. So they call and pose as people throwing a bachelor party. He go's and they drug him up and take him to bed..."And that's a fact!" When he wakes up.....he knows the true meaning of SHAME(Insert metal music here). So he puts on this really good show later on and gets famous. The rednecks see him on the TV and track him down. They demand that he let them have thier way with him real nasty or they'll tell everyone about what happened. I'm not gonna spoil the festivities for everyone with the ending. People often say negative things about this movie because they are homophobic and can't even watch this movie without being completely horrified. Open your mind fools. Just because alternitive lifestyle stuff disgusts you doesn't mean it's not incredibly funny. Props to you kevin smith. You're the only one with enough guts to release a comedy like this.
