Outtakes

About This Movie

So, 'Outtakes' from 1987. It’s one of those sketch comedies that really rides the wave of the late 70s and early 80s absurdist humor—think 'Kentucky Fried Movie' or 'Groove Tube.' The pacing is all over the place, which adds to its charm, like a chaotic jumble of skits that just spill out one after the other. You’ve got parodies that poke fun at everything from TV commercials to classic movies, all peppered with a fair share of nudity that feels pretty par for the course in this genre. The practical effects are low-budget but have a quirky appeal, and the performances are, well, hit or miss, but that's kind of what makes it distinctive. It’s definitely of its time, for better or worse.
