Monsters, Marriage and Murder in Manchvegas (2009)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Monsters, Marriage & Murder in Manchvegas is the best independent film of all time and easily one of the top three movies I've ever seen!The unpredictable story and casual acting style of M&M in M is so unique and endearing that nothing any reviewer could write will prepare you for how original and wonderful this movie experience is. I saw it twice and each time after viewing it, I was compelled to contact the creators and say, "Thank you for making such an amazing movie and for breaking the mold of what a movie can be!"Even my wife, a tough critic herself, loved this movie both times. Three of the main characters wear a uniform shirt with the initials "M.O.S." on the front. While I won't give away what that stands for, I was surprised to hear my wife say, "I want a M.O.S. T-shirt!" Coming from her, that's a high compliment.If you have even a shred of hope, humor or small-town honor left in your soul, you will fall in love with this truly inspired and odd American masterpiece.Single-handedly, Manchvegas breathes a monstrously cute breath of fresh air into mystery films, romance classics, and even creature features!

I came to know about "Manchvegas" through a magazine review. I'm always willing to try something new, esp. something not too self-important or sanctimonious (most indie films, you know?), so this seemed up my alley.And I enjoyed the heck out of it. The story really moves, which is the key to the experience. It appears that the filmmakers had a very tiny budget, and the actors are hobbyists, but there's a core romantic story here that makes it worth watching.If you don't like lighthearted movie, this isn't for you. But for a quick, fun, and unique experience, check it out! The filmmakers seem to be doing their own thing and having fun with it, which I appreciate.

Monsters, Marriage, and Murder in Manchvegas is a special film. Let me explain: not necessarily special in that its the best movie ever or anything, but special in the way that it made my day.I was pretty much happy the entire time watching this movie--my friend and I both felt this way. It was silly, but sometimes silly is good. We just gave in to this movie's way and went along for the ride.The main characters--Marshall, Jenny, and All-Star Pete--comprise a group of friends in a New England town. By making money at a variety of small jobs, they avoid letting too much boredom in their lives. There's a romantic thing between Marshall & Jenny, and the story goes from there.If you don't like off-beat films, this isn't for you. But if you want to try something different, give it a shot!

I'm really unsure exactly what to make of this project, and while I understand that this is obviously the lowest of low-budget projects (and does deserve respect as such), let's face the simple facts – the actors are not, well, actors. And the script is absolutely atrocious. Is it a drama? Is it a comedy? Who can tell...The basic plot revolves around our three young heroes – Marshall, Jenny, and 'All-Star Pete' (and, yes, in dialog he is always referred to as 'All-Star Pete') – all three of which are the Manchvegas Outlaw Society (MOS). The three 20-somethings pull a red wagon around town delivering newspapers and selling hotdogs, pulling pranks on each other, and saving the day as necessary. It's, quite simply, bizarre.The technical aspects of the project deserve little comment. From the synthesizer-based score, to the poor editing and camera-work (focus is always nice), there's not much here. And I'll not even comment on MOS's "pop music."As I understand the challenges small projects face I'm always willing to forgive flaws when obvious talent is present. After all, money can easily fix technical problems in small projects (i.e. bad lighting, sound, etc.), however if the mega-hits teach us anything it is that money cannot fix poor scripts or poor acting. However, with Manchvegas, there is no talent present – the script is ridiculous and the acting poor – so throwing money at the project would not fix its glaring flaws. Unfortunately, this is just a poor low-budget project.Pass on this one. 1/10.
