A mind-numbingly unfunny and inept attempt at sketch comedy from the director responsible for the Psychotronic Man, and featuring Forrest Tucker in his final screen appearance - the poor man definitely deserved better. Interminable parodies of Donahue, low-budget horror films and late-night news programmes are interspersed with dreadful spoof advertisements, punchline-free quickies and abandoned sketch ideas trading in humour so remorselessly lowbrow and unambitious, even a slow ten-year-old would consider it an insult to his intelligence.
The only other review here is clearly a review troll. This is a John Waters movie without the intelligence, talent, or class.
God bless the people at IMDb, I struggle to get short films I've seen at festivals added to the database but yet a collection of comedy bloopers from a BBC3 television show gets added as a separate title! Well anyway, my compulsive behaviour is not yet weak enough for me to be able to walk away from reviewing everything that I have seen (if the sun coming up had a title page then I'd find it hard to resist doing that as well).
First off, I must state the fact that I am a very loving fan of The Groove Tube, The Kentucky Fried Movie, and any others like them. That is why I loved outtakes.
OUTTAKES could perhaps be one of the most self-absorbed, most poorly-realised films I have ever seen. The lead actors are absolutely pathetic in their deliveries of even more pathetically written lines, and the film's depiction not only of filmmaking, but of ANY faction of gay lifestyle is a joke -- and I'm being kind.
I really believed the character as being a cassanova of lesbians. Great direction but poorly edited.
This film was soooo fun! I saw it at Outfest last year and have been dying for my friends who missed out to see it!!!
I saw Outtakes at the San Fran festival and talked to the filmmakers afterwards. I really like the actress who plays Cassy.
I thought it was a pretty cool film. I like things having to do with filmmaking.
