Review of Blubberella (2011) by Emily S — 05 Aug 2012

At first I wasn't liking the movie. The first scene tells you it's set in 1940 Nazi Germany, then she gets out of bed and checks a dating website on her laptop. It seemed like someone with very little history knowledge just wanted to do a WWII hero movie with a vampire twist.

But I'm not one to give up on a movie five minutes in. Filled with all its ridiculousness and only one actor on and off attempting to due a German accent, I first started to laugh when the resistance fighters and Blubberella are walking through a snow covered field and a man in a giant fish costume falls over and struggles helplessly.

There is no explanation for this incident, it's just one of the many random funny things that happen. The movie also does many paradies and references of movies and tv shows. Towards the end I was laughing hysterically.

It is in fact a cleverly done comedy. I would recommend it to anyone old enough (swearing, sexuality) to watch it.
