Movie Review: Never Been Thawed
Never Been Thawed is a mockumentary following the lives of the members of a club of frozen dinner collectors in Mesa, Arizona. The premise takes a little getting used to, and the movie has a slow start during which countless repulsive meals are featured.
Yet, and this is a big yet, it has some of the most hysterically funny satirical workplace scenes of any movie: Clown Cuts where “smilists” cut your hair, The William Jefferson Abstinence Center where we follow the calls of an “intercourse prevention counselor” (Keep her on the phone, so she’ll avoid the bone), an anti-abortion cafe called the No Choice where anti-abortion hecklers can have a cappucino in between protests at Planned Parenthood, and gigs with The Christers, a Christian punk band that seems only vaguely Christian.
Roughly 50% of readers will be deeply offended by this film, but some of us found it was funny.
Love this movie… just watched it again over the weekend… solid laughs throughout. Still one of the funniest flicks I’ve seen over the past 5 years… right up there with Clerks in my opinion.
