Mouths and Rabbits

About This Movie

Mouths and Rabbits is one of those films that captures the chaotic spirit of the seventies. It dives into family dynamics with this family of ten kids, painting a vivid picture of the struggles faced by both the poor and the affluent, all wrapped in a comedic narrative. The pacing has a certain erratic charm, making it feel both spontaneous and real. There’s a kind of rawness in the performances, especially from the Aunt character, who balances the absurdity and seriousness of their situation. What stands out is how it tackles heavy themes without losing its humor, making it a unique watch from that era.

Mouths and Rabbits is somewhat of a rarity in the collector scene, as it doesn’t pop up too often on auction sites or in secondhand shops. The film was released on VHS, but it never made it to DVD or Blu-ray, which adds to its scarcity and intrigue. Collectors often seek it out not just for its offbeat charm, but also for its cultural commentary reflective of a specific time in American society.
