The Fracktaplots (2010 Video) User Reviews

Believe It or Not, "The Fracktaplots" is a Great Film!

I've always been a fan of Robert Benfer's strange but hilarious YouTube videos, so I ordered this film almost right when it came out. I expected it to be a really stupid attempt at filmmaking, but I was sooo wrong. The Fracktaplots reminds me of Coens Brothers comedies such as Burn After Reading and A Single Man, in the way that it is a comedy where everything spirals out of control.

The only things I didn't like about this were; some jokes didn't really go anywhere, the girl who did the voice of Laura was pretty bad, and the second half of the film (except for the ending) was pretty weak compared to the first.

If you love comedies that make your face hurt, WATCH THIS MOVIE. If you don't then sit down, put on sad British pop music, and watch Saw.

I was so excited to see this movie, seeing as i loved lots of Benfers short videos. I had seen Klay World: Off the table. I saw thee scene of Mick and Lauras Father on you-tube, and it blew me all its hilarity. But this movie kind of disappointed me. It seemed to me that Robert was in a mad hurry to finish this movie, filming scenes half-ass-ed-ness. If he took more time to make the movie look a little more cinematographic , if would have made the difference.

Jason Steele, the creator of Charlie the Unicorn does a couple of voices in this movie, his scenes are memorable as heck, I LOVED HIS PARTS!! He single handedly made the movie worth while. Well the movie was worth while all in all. It was funny all the way through, and it wasn't a complete disaster. If every scene had more then just the two shots being cut between, and had an establishing shot, it would have had more character as a film.

All in all worth checking out, an internet cult film :)
