Bad Milo! Reviews
Cinemalogue.com
The concept runs out of gas well before the end despite the best efforts of Marino and an eclectic supporting cast.
The Playlist
...Bad Milo! is about a man who has a monster that grows out of his ass and kills people. If you're not willing to get onboard with that premise, this isn't a movie that's going to sway your initial feelings.

Bad Milo probably wanted to be gleefully naughty, but instead it's just bad.

It's funny, it's gross, and it has a few serious things on its mind. Is it any wonder David Cronenberg is thanked in the end credits?
Willamette Week
This is Marino's film all the way, and the comic vet of Wet Hot American Summer and Party Down effortlessly steps into the spotlight after decades in supporting roles.
Austin Chronicle
Call it odious, call it repugnant, call it downright nasty - just don't call it dumb.

On paper, "Bad Milo!" sounds loosey-goosey-crazy-go-nuts. But in practice, it's understated, if only in relation to its bonkers premise.

Top CriticWhat could have been a very funny short film about self-control and befriending your id instead becomes a rambling commentary on father-son dysfunction and the limits of proctology.

This movie is about a monster that crawls out of a man's butt and starts killing people.

Except for the premise of human anxiety creating organic instruments of wrath and revenge (should Cronenberg sue?), Bad Milo is just a pain from the posterior.

Should entertain a certain pocket of comedy fans, particularly those happy for the rare chance to see the excellent Marino play a nice guy.

It's not every day one encounters a story about a man and the goblin that uses his rectum as a home, making the little triumphs of the feature worthy of a look, but only for those in the mood for something odd and a little icky.

Fitfully amusing, as midnight movies about avenging anus dwellers go.

Like a lot of intentionally shoddy or derivative movies, Bad Milo! can't overcome what it's trying to be.

The key to this largely amusing and unapologetically silly gross-out romp is Duncan's continuing astonishment at the grotesque situation he finds himself in.

Bad Milo is tremendously silly, but it's the kind of thing you either go with, or you don't. It's not perfect, but I had a pleasant time with it.

Just when you thought you've seen everything, here's a jaw-droppingly absurd horror comedy.
