MartinHafer Considering that this film is about two men from the planet Hondo who both love music and are carrying a virus bomb that could wipe out the planet, you know it's NOT a normal movie for normal folks! Add to that Dee Snider (of Twister Sister fame) and the film is sure to raise a few eyebrows! It's weird, it's cheaply made and it's well worth seeing IF you are the sort of person that is looking for something different and can look past the film's shortcomings. After all, it was apparently made on a shoestring budget with actors you've probably never seen before this film.Nils d'Aulaire plays Bill--a seemingly normal guy. However, as the camera follows him during a typical day, you can see the guy isn't 100% typical. First, he travels an hour and a half from Brooklyn to Long Island to work as a janitor at the Cradle of Aviation Center (an air and space museum). Second, he plays music in a small club dressed in some sort of cheesy space suit--with a helmet that looks like a bucket! And, during this act he refers to himself as 'General Titus' and talks of coming from the planet Hondo!! And, you wonder WHICH of the two personas is the real guy--or, perhaps, neither. I could say a lot more about the movie but I think it would spoil it. Needless to say, it is very strange yet quite enjoyable--particularly when his new friend, Kevin, arrives.This is one of the more difficult to explain films I have ever seen. It practically defied words and is not a film that you've seen before--and this is, to me, what I really liked about the film. Too often, movies have the same old themes repeated again and again--but this one manages to be quite different and fun even with a micro-budget.

chadingraham I haven't laughed this hard watching a film for a long time. Not only are the musical performances incredible, but the story of love for music and family is incredibly touching. John Mitchell, thank you for putting time and effort into making a brilliant and humorous film. Nils d'Alaire your skills on the banjo are inspirational. When I can finally play I will cover your songs and smile with every note. Thanks for your sense of humour and your brilliant acting. Jay Klaitz your voice is incredible, so was that mustache. I'm sure you're a great assassin. HONDO!

ddunn-2 I guess if you have seen this folksy duo play before -- and I am assuming they are real -- you might enjoy this nonsense, otherwise it has limited appeal. One of my criteria for a 4/10 movie rating is my being glad when the credits finally roll. Well, I could not wait for this misery to stop.I stuck with this film because of all the high ratings, but there was no reward forthcoming. This film is a glaring example of why movie ratings are so flawed. This is a weak film-school effort that in no way (on any planet) deserves the 7/10 and even 8/10 ratings posted. Take a pass on this one.

kr98664 This was one of those "Never heard of it" gambles that paid off. The musical bits were light-hearted and whimsical. The story was very unique, especially the part about the aliens' reaction to earth music. There was also some subtle social commentary about us earthlings. I especially liked the intermixed fight/dance scene. The second alien stole every one of his scenes. His mannerisms and body language always brought a chuckle.Although this was a low-budget movie, the overall effect was very professional. I'm going to have to get me a red jumpsuit and bucket helmet. I hope you enjoy this fun little movie as much as my wife and I did.
