Eraserhead meets Buck Rogers by way of an MGM musical in this bizarre outer-space saga about Samuel Curtis (Cory McAbee), a galactic truck driver looking to make a killing. The film opens with Curtis landing on the freewheeling, all-male asteroid of Ceres. Before winning a dance contest with his buddy Blueberry Pirate -- who is renowned for smuggling fresh fruit -- Curtis learns from Blueberry about a scheme to give a fetal "real live girl" to the similarly male-dominated planet of Jupiter in

It's a rockabilly space romp, often very bad but usually a visual treat.
A movie so goofy and affable about its willful, second-rate cheesiness that anger becomes a waste of time. You either go along with it or you don't go at all.
Movies don't get much more homemade or endearingly eccentric.
It's equal parts creepy, campy, funny, and tedious.
Hit-and-miss comedy.
Just let the expressionistic, oddly charming images wash over you and enjoy the rush of a zero-budget indie that somehow fuses Buck Rogers and the theater of the absurd.
A cult phenom, with the longest mis-told joke and The Boy Who Actually Saw a Woman's Breast
If you're in the mood for something really out there, this one delivers many rewards.
It can be perceived as a pleasant antidote to the Hollywood mainstream comedy.
If Andy Warhol ever made a movie with Ed Wood, this might have been the result.
This musical epic is unlike anything I (or anyone I know) have ever laid eyes on.
A sui generis, love-it-or-hate-it exercise in homegrown American surrealism.
Something somewhere between Six-String Samurai and Dead Man (but a science-fiction musical).
Every once in a blue moon some inexplicable force of cinema pushes all sanity and sense of aesthetics aside and leaves me defenselessly embracing a movie that has no apparent redeeming factor other than its cheesy eccentricity.
Accepting its darkness, warmth and gentle ridiculousness, you'll find yourself heartened, though you won't be exactly sure why.
A space pilot transports the Boy Who Saw a Woman's Breast from Jupiter to Venus to obtain a bounty in this surrealistic space-western musical. I was underwhelmed by this minor cult film; it has some great moments of absurd humor but often drags with sequences of inconsequential nonsense.
