"Moonwalkers"

Just a fun little bit of cinematic escapism. The plot involves a CIA agent, brilliantly played by Ron Perlman, who's assigned to hire Stanley Kubrick to film a fake moon landing, just in case the real one fails. While in London, he meets a financially-troubled rock band manager who poses as Kubrick's agent. From here, things get crazy. It's a well done spoof on late 60s England, complete with an overdose of drug use, naked hippie girls, and a smattering of violence. I saw a few reviews comparing it to the Austin Powers films, which I guess is fair. But I enjoyed this silliness a bit more. Although it's just about as childish and mindless.
3 out of 5 stars
