Hellywood

About This Movie

Hellywood (1982) is a curious blend of comedy and music, set in a zany future where a boy from outer space arrives in a flying peach. The narrative, though a bit all over the place, has this quirky charm that's hard to pin down. The pacing sometimes lags, especially in the middle act, but it’s filled with offbeat humor and a playful critique of pop culture. The performances by the schoolgirls are surprisingly engaging, bringing a sense of innocence and determination to the search for Apple. The practical effects, while dated, add a unique texture to the film, making it feel like a delightful low-budget romp. It’s this eclectic mix of elements that gives it a distinctive flair, setting it apart from more conventional films of its time.
