Notzilla

It's a bit of a chuckle movie rather than a laugh fest. Props and acting are daggy, just as you would expect. Had the potential to be much better, but they settled for just made it. Definitely worth the watch.

This was an extremely cheap and low budget spoof so I wasn't expect much, but man is the "humor" and acting in this just real cringeworthy. There was only one visual gag with a train that was interesting but most of the stuff was very obvious and too on the nose. And for a supposed monster movie, most of it deals with the scientist's story which is quite boring and uninteresting. Lord wonders when actual good spoof movies make a comeback.

There is every reason to be put off by this but don't be.

I hate American humour. Its obvious, strained and just not funny.

This is funny. Very funny. Has its bad moments but its a total leg pull that doesn't even try to hard to be good.

Watch it

As the name implies, Notzilla is a very silly homage to the classic Godzilla movies. Everything is stylistically on-point - the miniatures, the multiple levels of rear-projection, the rubber suit! Incredibly over-the-top - think Airplane! with a side of Space Balls, and just a hint of Duck Soup. Short and surprisingly sweet, Notzilla provides some much-needed giggles right now.

I know there will be people that will say I'm nuts for giving this 8 stars. Here's the thing, this is a fun ride!!!!! Its everything you can want from a Godzilla parody and it's a pretty self aware flick. It knows it's not a big budget block buster and it runs with it. (Although it should get an Oscar for best use of green army men in a motion picture.) Let's be honest, it's not going to be for everyone. But if you want to watch a fun flick that's actually funny and well written you can't go wrong here. Seriously check it out, grab a bowl of popcorn, have a beer, sit back and enjoy. It'll be worth it.
