Freaks! That's what they call us!

Freaked isn't for everyone. But it's certainly for those cult fans who don't mind turning off their brains, and just enjoying stupid funny. Yes, there is such a thing as stupid funny-- comedy that is ridiculous and brainless enough to be incredibly funny. I would not consider this a time waster. Humor along the lines of Top Gun, Airplane! and Beetlejuice, maybe. So, if you're of fans of movies like that, you will like this.

The premise follows ex-child star Ricky who is hired to be the face of a shady, sleezy multinational coorporation who makes dangerous toxic biochemical fertilizer. Ricky is pretty sleezy himself in the beginning, and doesn't care about the poor, underdeveloped country where this toxic waste is being used--as long as he gets paid.

He goes to the country, with his best friend, Ernie, where they run into an activist, Julie, protested the company Ricky works for. Ricky, following only one head, hits on Julie and soon the three end up on a road trip together, (with Ricky deguised) until he reveals himself, upset when she badmouths him. Unexpectantly, they end up at a roadside freakshow, there the freakmaster, Skuggs, seems to get his freaks when curious innoncents stop by for a looksee.

After that, funny mayhem ensues.

Disgusting most of the time, but still very, very likable, and not too offensive. It was actually on cable a few days ago. If your humor runs a little quirky, check this out.
