Sundance Review: ‘The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle’

Everyone is talking about how crazy this movie was so I definitely had to check it out for myself. What I found was an experiment in cinema story telling, and the story keeps you holding on because you cant believe what you are seeing.
The story follows Dory (Marshall Allman) who is struggling to find his way in life, quits his day job and gets a job as a janitor with a night cleaning company. The cleaning company is run by a strange group of people that love what they do. One of the buildings they clean specializes in market research and are currently working on studies for cookies. The cookies contain an experimental chemical that is supposed to emulate the warm feeling for fresh baked cookies.
During the experiment it starts to have a strange reaction in all of the male subjects. They start to experience abdominal pains, cramping and sickness. After a while they finally realize that they could be carrying something in their stomach’s.
The movie stars one of my favorite indie comedy guys Vince Vieluf, and he is absolutely brilliant in this movie. The guy seems like a goof off, and I think he plays the high strung slacker guy better than anyone else in the business.
David Russo the writer/director of the film did a tremendous job writing and showing his vision for the story. This is the first film I have seen of his and I have to say that I am pretty impressed with his work. Not sure this one will hit everyone in the mainstream, but if you get a chance to see it make certain that you do.
Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Look forward to seeing this someday.
Why?….because I’ve been following the career of Marshall Allman for sometime. He is a gifted young actor and just happens to be from my hometown and I know his mother, but still a good actor all the same.
Hope it makes it to a theater for the general public.
Thanks for your review.
