Otis Movie Review

Who doesn’t dream of the perfect prom night? All Otis wants is to take the hot cheerleader, enjoy his time in the sun as the prom king and maybe, if he plays his cards right, score some hot action. This is Otis:

See any problem? Otis has been out of high school for almost fifteen years. He is a beast of a man! Side note - this film actually introduces us to Bostin Christopher (good porn name huh?), who plays Otis. Pretty big coming out role. I predict this one will be a cult horror film classic, so who knows what his future acting career will hold!

The basic premise of Otis is simple. Otis wants a date so he kidnaps local girls. SPOILER - One girl breaks free and his family turns the tables on him and hunts him down.

The wackiness and awesomeness of the movie doesn’t really lie in the plot, although it’s totally twisted. It lies more in the characters and how they respond to the situation they are all thrown in. It’s a typical, middle class, suburban jungle setting. It’s a stereotypical two working parents and their two, high school kids. The dad was THE voice of The Wonder Years! We’ve got the pot smoking, slacker son who’s totally jealous of his too perfect, daddy’s favorite, daughter who later gets her hot self kidnapped.

Once the FBI gets involved, (including my least favorite player in the movie - see photo below) all hell breaks loss. I’d have to say, their incompetence is a little over the top, but that what makes the movie funny.
The humor is dark and dry - exactly how a good B movie, horror, soon-to-be cult classic comedy should be. How’s that for a descriptive sentence! Watch the damn trailer already.
