So, 'Double Terrible' is this quirky 1975 comedy directed by Luciano B. Carlos. It has this laid-back, almost absurd vibe, you know? The plot revolves around Maritess, who ropes in Frankie, a private investigator, to check on her dad who's got his head in the clouds over a much younger woman. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which somehow adds to its charm, leaning into those awkward moments that make you chuckle. The performances have this raw and natural feel, with a touch of slapstick that was prevalent in the era. It’s not your typical rom-com fare; it’s more about the absurdity of love and the ridiculousness that can unfold when hearts get tangled. Plus, there are some practical effects that, while not groundbreaking, add a nice touch to the overall whimsy of the film.
'Double Terrible' has had a niche following among collectors, mainly due to its unique comedic style and the peculiarities of its era. Available primarily on DVD, its VHS copies are quite sought after, though they pop up sporadically at flea markets or estate sales. The film's offbeat humor and eccentric performances make it a curiosity, drawing collectors interested in lesser-known gems from the 70s comedy landscape.
