REVIEW: Breakfast Of Aliens

I'll never order out for pizza again.

If you've never heard the name Vic Dunlop uttered by anyone in your immediate family, don't spend too many hours worrying yourself silly about it. In fact, I had absolutely no clue who the guy was until I watched director David Lee Miller's wacky 1993 horror/comedy Breakfast of Aliens on up-and-coming video streaming service Reeltime.com just the other day. Accurately describing this mondo bizarro tale of a professional can collector's sudden rise to stand-up comedy fame isn't the easiest task to accomplish, especially when said funnyman's talents come bubbling to the surface after accidentally consuming an oozing alien lifeform during breakfast. The film has all the trappings of something directed by cult favorite Frank Henenlotter or produced by the immortal Lloyd Kaufman: wacky characters, disgusting locales, and an utter lack of real world sensibilities literally dominate the picture. If outlandish absurdity isn't exactly your cup of proverbial tea, Breakfast of Aliens is definitely going to cause severe irritation in your lower extremities. After all, not everyone can properly digest overblown acting, cheap special effects, and an overall lack of focus with the skill and finesse of a highly trained Internet expert. That said, Vic Dunlop and his vaguely surreal love song to West Coast stand-up are destined for cult status. Is this just another , an oddball masterpiece not long for the mainstream world, you ask? Not at all. Stop by Reeltime.com and see for yourself, fat boy. You know you wanna.
