The Citizen Kane of noir musicals involving a nacho hat. Seriously, though, I was a college film student long enough to know how bad student films can be. Maybe it's just grading on a curve, but this is easily the best one I've ever seen. Funny, catchy tunes, incredible production values (again, curve - please judge it for what it is), and I can pretty much guarantee one-of-a-kind.
You can Google-search it out on DVD, a double-pack with another student film from director Matt Janzen - "The Salesman." Seen that one, too. Also funny, but a bit more of an on-the-nose homage to silent comedy. Funky Town's the real gem, and worth hunting down. Especially if you're a film student or wannabe filmmaker who thinks you're a genius just because your friends all laugh at that parody you posted on YouTube. Here's the bar. Try to top it.
