While not a horror movie I couldn’t really pass up on this one.  Yeah, it’s that fucked up.  Actually what I find quite amazing is I had never heard of this film until tonight.  And as if some guiding hand from above had something in store for me, I watched it purely on the title alone.  After finishing the film I’m still not sure if that makes me fortunate or not.

IMDB has this to say about the plot.

The Hollowheads are a strange, futuristic family that live in a Jetsons type world complete with many cool gadgets. Henry is hoping for a promotion at the slime factory in which he works and decides to bring his boss home for dinner and to meet the family. The horny, pervert, rude boss does not know what he is up against when he begins with his advances towards Mrs. Hollowhead and his abundance of rudeness.

That said, I really don’t think that description does this film justice.  Again, I’m still in shock over never having even heard of this flick.  First off, it stars Juliette Lewis who was strangely sexy in a weird kind of way in Natural Born Killers, in this movie however she plays Cindy the 14 year old teeny bopper daughter of Henry and Miriam Hollowhead (played by  who comes off as being a six pack of beer and a doobie away from becoming Kelly from Married with children.

Oh, and remember Joshua Miller?  Oh, sure you do!  You know, the creepy vampire kid in Near Dark?  Well he’s in this too, as Joey the trouble making friend of  Billy Hollowhead.  Two years after Near Dark and his acting hasn’t improved.  Seriously, how much of an outcast do you have to be to have this kid as your best friend?

Oh, and by the way, Joshua is all growed up now, and yeah, still creepy…

You know, I’d like to go off on some philosophical rant about the totalitarian, distopian future awaiting mankind and Nazi symbolism and all that jibber jabber.  But you know what?  I simply didn’t find this movie that deep.  It’s a comedy about a rude boss trying to make time with some poor factory worker’s wife while he’s doing his best to get a promotion.  All this while trying to deal with his three kids.  Is this movie definitely, well, at least once.  Is it twacked?  You better believe it.

The best I can describe this film is if David Lynch smoked a gram of opium, sat through a 24 hour Leave it to Beaver marathon and then decided to do a movie adaptation of a Dr. Seuss book and Meet the Hollowheads was the outcome.

Oh, and did I mention that there’s a tank full of intestines in the living room with a giant eyeball attached to one end?  And the family dog looks oddly like the Sicilian from the Princess Bride…

Best dialogue:  “When are kids gonna learn to just say no to butt polish?”

It also has a  brief part with Bobcat Goldthwait playing a cop, only in the credits he’s billed as “Jack Cheese”.  Seriously?  How fucked up does a movie have to be for Bobcat to not want his name on it?

I suppose I should have seen it coming from the lame 80′s rap song during the opening credits introducing the cast of characters.  Kinda reminded me of this.  /twitch

That’s it, I’m going to go curl up in a ball and suck my thumb for a while…
