How does Ron Perlman in drag only get 5.6 on IMDB? 3, 2, 1… Frankie Go Boom is an instant cult classic. Writer and director Jordan Roberts, who narrated Luc Jacquet’s March of the Penguins, and made Around the Bend with Christopher Walken (queuing) impresses with a filthy, quirky rom-com. This mildly-meta, sex-romp, family-saga with two brothers at odd ends of the camera and morality, showcases Chris Noth channeling Hunter S. Thompson, and Lizzy Caplan from Cloverfield and Freaks and Geeks in an edible bikini top. There’s also a drowning pot belly pig, grandpa gangsters, porn stars, angels, and a strong man dipped in metal. This movie will mos def not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you are looking for a laugh-out-loud, random Saturday afternoon schadenfreude sexploit, this one’s for you. 7/10, available on Amazon Prime for free.
