Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

MisterWhiplash Cornman! A superhero that we can all get around! That is, if one actually watches the movie, which might be very, very, very few, as the movie wasn't even made by Troma (although Lloyd does introduce the movie on the DVD, with full corn up the you-know-what gag thrown in). It was the first movie by Barak Epstein, and you can tell it was made on the fly, without much actual things like money, good props, make-up, actors, sets, etc. But somehow they made this very bad movie into something that is unusually fun and stupid and self-conscious.One scene that works very well on a level reminiscent (if not anywhere as good) of Return of the Killer Tomatoes is when the 'fourth wall' is broken and the film crew is seen. The director goes up to the actor playing Cornman- horrible actor, of course- and tells him this won't work, and puts in another more muscle-bound actor in his place, and suddenly the fights get better, the guy is not a half-bad Cornman (if there could be a half-good Cornman), and it's a good little rib-jab to the audience that it's knowing it sucks, and it rolls along with the crap-shoot.At the least, Cornman is worth watching, aside from the general badness of it, for the little things, like the villain with his blade covered in cellophane, or for the sidekick who's only function is to smell with his Pinocchio nose, or for the um, yeah, lesbian shower scene that turns pretty violent (and hilarious) involving a hose. It threatens at times to become too boring, but for those who want to stick with it the pleasures are all Mystery Science Theater bound. It's so bad it flips to good, then back-flips back to bad again, and then ends somewhat in the middle. Not worth a dollar, more like... 5 cents?

movieman_kev Cornman was once a normal man but he fell into toxic waste and now can communicate with corn he also has Butterboy, a stupid sidekick. He uses this power to fight Dr. Hoe, an evil guy in this low low budget campy film. I don't like these types of non-troma intentionally campy, self-referential no budget films. They might cause the makers to laugh their collective asses off, but the viewer is likely to just shrug it off, if they can make it through the whole movie, which really is a crap shoot as it's only 69 or so minutes. Wall to wall fake punk music throughout the film doesn't help at all. It's grating on the nerves.My Grade: D DVD Extras: Intro by Lloyd Kaufman; 3 Commantary tracks; 11 minutes and 20 seconds of behind the scenes footage; deleted scenes with intro; and Preview Trailer Easter Egg: In the Extras menu there's a hidden question mark, click it for a short teaser for "Prison-a-go-go" another mind-numbingly awful film

latetalk After seeing some publicity for this film, I thought it would be a waste of my time... BOY WAS I WRONG!!! Cornman is great!! By no means is it the best film ever made, and you can tell there was quite a micro budget, but it is very much worth seeing. In all honesty this film is not for everyone, but if you've ever worked on a film with a micro budget, you can really appreciate this one.The story and the production is very Troma-esque, the acting isn't all that great, but it by no means is bad. Some of the special effects are downright awful, but the exploding head... Fantastic!!!Like I said, it's not the greatest movie ever made, but it is very funny and very much worth seeing. Buy it today, it's worth it's weight in corn!! Great job guys!
