Review of It Came from Kuchar (2009) by Clayton W — 29 Apr 2010
It Came From Kuchar documents the lives and careers of underground film gods Mike and George Kuchar, whose D- (at best) movies are gloriously low-budget and ridiculous. The film starts off wonderfully, using clever editing to show the brothers' larger-than-life personalities, especially when they describe the same events in their own ways. The film devolves into a run-through of their career, however, when the films take precedent over the auteurs. It's not surprising, and arguably, it makes sense, but it's disappointing that the brothers then sink to the background. I was also disappointed that only one scene showed the brothers together.
Still enjoyable and very interesting, It Came From Kuchar is like a less-effective, filmic version of last year's superb Anvil! The Story of Anvil.
