Fantastic Fest: I Am a Knife with Legs (2014)

Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #20

With a movie title like this, you should know what to expect.  This is an absurd comedy/musical.  It is set in Los Angeles.  This reminded of the Flight of the Conchords in a way.  Not just because it's a silly musical but some of the dialogue as well.  I cracked up in a few scenes.  It's about this famous pop rock star who is hiding in Los Angeles because the SSN is after him.  What is SSN?  Well, that's part of a joke in the movie. Since this is the kind of movie that might not be available anytime soon, I'll just tell you anyway.  Our main guy has a big accent, and he's trying to say "Assassin."  His friend gives him shit because he's saying SSN.  Cool little moments.  Good midnight movie, that's for sure.  
Overall, worth checking out if you're into absurd comedies.  Definitely not for everyone.
