Monsters of California

Surprisingly decent if ur into the premise. The kind of movie I expect critics may not like too much but has the potential to garner a kind of cult-like appeal with its target audience. It's a happily vul

Movie definitely isn't perfect but its a happily vulgar throwback style adventure with heart. It's like 90s Kevin Smith meets 80s Spielberg. If ur offended at stoner-humor, this movie wasn't made for you. I really appreciate how it can be funny at times & poignant with messages about our place in the universe in others. (Also apparently thx to some govt insiders it allegedly has some real info.... According to filmmaker..)

Decent directorial debut and a bit ridiculous in a fun way....

Ultimately the movie is charming & entertaining if the premise catches your interest.

(EDIT - something wrong here, the movie is only out in the U. S., yet other country's users have scores & they trend lower?)

I am a huge supporter of to To The Sars academy and have actually purchased the tom delonge serious of books chasing shadows and have been a tom delonge fanatic since the age of very young.... I completely understand how hard it would be to bring out a independent film and have it slandered by people... But Tom ... I mean this sincerely ...If you are going for such a strong topic and trying to get people inside please don't make a film this silly again ...have the balls to make it serious and to the point ... Love you tom and I have a tattoo for you and will always support the movement.. but through the struggle I hate to go to watch it in Australia and than the excitement be taken away from some reeeeaaalllyyy corny story lines ... Just please try to stay to the point next time and forget the love story xxx.

We watched it for about 20 minutes and it was one scene after another with a combination of bad acting, dialogue, and direction. The three main characters are so clueless they couldn't even do what they set out to do. Ostensibly because they were stoned. One apparently took multiple doses of LSD. If a movie promises some kind of story, we'll struggle through until the end, hopeful of redemption. This movie promises nothing. Example: There was a little kid in a scene at the dinner table. She wasn't saying a word. Now, this can be hysterical if the child can act at all, because they can make faces and draw us in. This one looked like she was watching a slow-motion ping-pong match, looking back and forth with just a blank look on her face.

It's not funny, it's not well acted, it's not worth your time.

This movie is a waste of your time. I can't believe I wasted $4.99 on renting this. I wouldn't have watched it for free had I known how crappy it was. It's a shame too because the story could have made a decent enough movie if it had been done well. First, the actors are bad, the silliness part of the movie is misplaced like Bigfoot peeing on one of the characters and the over the top ghostly stuff, the pacing and poorly built up suspense are all just sad. This could have been so much better had the filmmakers taken the subject matter seriously instead of just one big bad joke that wasn't even funny. It's like they couldn't decide if this was a comedy, a drama or supernatural suspense. If they didn't know then how is the audience supposed to know what to make of this?

So I managed 49 minutes of this slacker scifi adventure? /comedy.

It had a good idea in the beginning but limped along and wasn't really sure what it was going to be maybe a comedy nah nothing funny here!

The cast were amiable like a noughties scooby doo gang but minus the doo.

The legendary casper van dien makes a appearance as naval intelligence men in black kind of character but he is sorely wasted on a lacklustre script and plot. Scowling through his lines.

Do yourself a favour watch the first twenty minutes ghost house segment then cut and run you won't miss anything else noteworthy.

So to sum up scifi no, comedy no, adventure definitely not, the four stars are for the leads sister in a bikini see where I'm going with this just blah blah blah!!
