Backfire!

About This Movie

So, Backfire! is quite the quirky comedy, ya know? It spins this goofy yarn about Jeremy Jackson, who’s hell-bent on being the first guy in the firehouse, which is already a strange hook. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that kind of works for it in a way—creates this chaotic vibe. Really, it’s the fires erupting from toilets that sets the tone, and I mean, how bizarre is that? The performances are over-the-top, which fits the absurdity perfectly, especially with the tough female firefighters giving him a hard time. The mix of practical effects with the comedy makes it memorable. Not your average comedy, for sure, but there's something charmingly offbeat about it.
