Buttcrack (1998)

Expected more

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

I agree with Jack The Ripper 1888. This really is a great little movie. If you don't like really cheap, silly movies then stay away. How anyone could watch a movie called Buttcrack, and expect it to be serious or scary is totally beyond me.I've watched a lot of Troma, and a lot of other indie "horror" and horror/comedy. Most of it doesn't have half the energy and wit of this. Of course most of it's downright retarded. It's supposed to be. A few people got together and decided to have a good time making a movie. That movie happened to be entertaining because known to themselves at the time or not, they actually had some talent for making movies.Some of it they obviously got lucky, but I think it was their genuine enthusiasm and enjoyment of what they were doing that carried over in nearly every scene. The cast just let loose and bust out some damn funny performances because you can tell they were relaxed and working in a fun environment.The story is dumb, but probably based on a real person/experience I bet. The script or improv is blessed with the infectious spirit of being high and getting the joke of life.If you take the movie for what it is, and not bring high expectations, or any expectations then you might be one of the lucky ones who gets this kind of movie. You're probably an awesome person, at least now and again, and you can join me in laughing at the poor folk who can't enjoy such beautifully simple pleasures as having a laugh at yourself, the world and at your friends sweaty buttcrack coming between you and your girl.Read that last part again and tell me how that can fail the funny test?

What can I say? I loved this movie! I can see where it wouldn't be for everybody, but it was for me. I don't know when I've laughed so hard at things so dumb, but this movie has plenty of dumb funny scenes. A particular favorite is the ride in the car when Wade swears Ken is gay. I totally love it. Yeah sure, it's low budget, no big stars, Troma, sub par acting, but come on! Isn't that also what makes it great? Does every movie have to be academy award worthy before it is "good?" The badness of this movie is what is good about it. The fact that a movie like this even got made is a good F*** to Hollywood and all its hype. I hope there will be a part 2.

Excellent film regarding the intricate world of Wade "Buttcrack" Jenkins. The poignant portrayal of a man living in oblivion to his repulsive buttcrack. In addition, this film provides a plethora of low brow chuckles, from Wades atari addiction, to the gruesome zombie buttcrack. If should be asked to look past the films obvious monetary short-commings, it is still sure to please those familiar to Troma's other movies. Once again, a great Troma figure has been created, with the heralding of Preacher Man Bob, and his fantastic respite towards all things unholy !!!

Buttcrack sends up classic roommate-from-hell movies with a dose of Troma-style redneck zombie killing. Combines funny young-adult existentialism with Mojo Nixon blasting zombies with a shotgun. Mojo plays most of the soundtrack too. I didn't expect to like this film. Boy, was I wrong.
