Review of Slash (2002) by Brody M — 11 Nov 2010
Staring that guest star from Lost! Slash follows the least rocking rock band ever as they spontaneously decide to visit the farm that the lead singer guy (I have no idea what his first name is) inherits after his aunt dies. Or maybe he's just visiting. And bringing along the entire band complete with tour bus.
Anyway, at the farm, we meet Joe Bob and... uh... 'Dad', who kinda hang out and look semi menacing. Or at least the dad does as Joe Bob quickly reveals that he can do anything that the token black guy musician can do, and better. Guess who dies first? (Correct answer worth zero points.).
Possibly the biggest flaw, though the entire movie is just one giant flaw, finds the supposed "main character" spending almost the entire movie moping around the farm alone instead of being in the movie as a character and stuff. There are a few scattered exchanges between him and Dad about needing to stay on the farm and carry on with the MacDonald family legacy. Oh yeah, the farmer's name is farmer MacDonald. Not a single joke made in the movie about this point is even close to funny, though most of the jokes we made while watching were pretty good.
2 stars for some inadvertent entertainment value, but mostly a waste of time. Oh, and the dead grandpa did it.
