Culp - The Almost Guy

[Nicol]

I found the site looking for pictures of maxwell. Ok I know this is an old movie.
I loved the trailer (can really see the clasic maxwell traits) was thinking of getting it, But we all know how sometimes the trailers are better than the movies, so I wanted to know has anyone watched this movie, is it any good?
I'm more of a Katt fan than Culp. I know the travisty but that is how the marbles roll people ;D

Hey, Nicol, didn't notice this until today.

I got this DVD last November, but for a million and one reasons excuses, I never sat down and watched it.

This morning I did. And I am a little sad that I waited this long.

This is a really great little movie! Culp is really good in it. As are all the actors and all the characters. The plot is good, and there are a few really clever plot twists. And there are some really funny lines in this.

There are a few minor offensive comments, and there is some cursing, but it is otherwise a nice film you can watch with friends and family and not be embarrassed by.

I actually enjoyed this a lot more than the new Indiana Jones movie.

If you are not interested in owning it, see if you can Netflix it. If not... it is available on ebay.

Thumbs up!

I watched this as soon as I bought it 1.5 years ago. I have to agree with Jo; this is a TERRIFIC flick, just terrific. Culp is magnificent. If you listen to the commentary you learn that Culp walked around saying "Groovy and cool, etc," all the time, and the author/directors liked him. Culp ate two undercooked hotdogs on moldy buns for one scene, and the narrators laughed at him rubbing supposed sperm off his back after lying on the motel bedspread--they almost made it seem as if Culp was ad-libbing that hilarious move.

This is a very good, kind of bittersweet movie and Culp is EXCELLENT in it.

You can forget about NetFlix'ing it, however. Not available. However, I have done my part by requesting it to the high muckity-mucks...
