Stolen from Something Awful:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0451829/Naisu No Mori aka Funky Forest: The First Contact
I really didn't know what the hell to think after seeing this movie. Leave it up to the Japanese to create one of the more bizarre yet hilarious movies I've seen. You'll probably never see anything like it ever again, and this is a guarantee.
The plot? There is none. Funky Forest is just a collection of related sketches. Some are recurring, most have characters from previous and future bits popping up, but the most common trend is that they have no point to them whatsoever. Here's some of the sketches presented over the 2.5 hour length.
-Guitar Brother: Three brothers (two Japanese and one a European or American fat kid) who are horrible at getting women. One tries to make guitar serenades, the other uses certain rituals and the fat kid just eats snickers a lot.
-The Hot Babbling Spring Vixens: Pretty much what the title says. Three girls who talk in the weirdest way possible about stories that go in circles.
-Home Room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: A classroom with students ranging from police officers to old men, they always start the day off with a speaker for the class.
-Notti & Takefumi: Two friends who sit around doing nothing, although that changes with a 20+ minute dance sequence.
Those are the real recurring sketches, I don't want to explain much on them because it would ruin a lot of stuff in the movie (although you could argue that the movie doesn't even have anything considered spoil worthy). I think that the movie would get a cult following if it got released a bit wider globally. I'll shut up about it though and give a
Trailer and
Clip. Hopefully I'm not the only person here who has seen and enjoyed it.
