That's Adequate is a quirky mockumentary that takes a playful jab at the film industry, specifically through the lens of the fictional Adequate Pictures. Tony Randall hosts with his signature charm, while James CoCo, in a surprisingly poignant performance considering his health, embodies the beleaguered head of the studio. The film features a patchwork of parodies, from silent film slapstick to over-the-top adult film tropes, all wrapped in that late '80s indie vibe. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that just adds to its offbeat charm. Practical effects, particularly in the exaggerated violence, are both absurd and amusing. It's a unique blend of nostalgia and critique, definitely leaving a distinct impression on anyone who appreciates the art of parody.
