A very strange and at times dark film that is basically in two parts. The first is Bubby as a prisoner to his mother, kept from going out under various threats that scare him. The second is his release from the basement into a world as mad as his other one.
Nick Hope as Bubby is brilliant. He has had no education but can copy what has been said to him. In this bizarre almost Monty Pythonesque way he stumbles around his new world with sayings he has picked up from either his mother or estranged father. Everyone he meets adds to his vocabulary until he has a weird, twisted dictionary that is used to successfully front a rock band with. Very odd, cleverly directed and worth checking out but not for the faint hearted.
