From the title, I bet you can guess this film is one of two things.  It's either a military type comedy, or it's a comedy with lots of hot girls running around with great tits and a lot of gratuitous boobie shots.  Fortunately for us, it's the latter.

Bazookas doesn't actually refer to women's breasts though, it actually refers to the last name of the guy, Gus Bazooka, that founded a local gym and has built up a loyal staff and a small but loyal clientele.  Gus was obsessed with breasts though.  I say was because at the beginning of the movie, he has a heart attack after seeing a particularly nice pair pressed up against the plexi glass wall of a racquetball court.

Ok, so Gus is dead.  That leaves a little problem.  See, one son is really into making a go of the gym, while the other has dreams of tearing it down and throwing up a huge high rise full of business offices.  Since they both own half, a bet is made.  The gym has been running in the red for a while, and the good son, Angus, only has a very limited time to turn a profit, even if it's just one dollar.  If he does, he gets one hundred percent ownership of the gym.  If he fails, he has to hand it over to his brother Judah, who will then tear it down to put up his high rise.

The employees, including many really hot girls, a pissy janitor, a juice bar guy and some others all rally around Angus and try to come up with a way to save the gym, while Judah uses hidden cameras to spy on them all and sends his moronic thugs and his cheesy, cross dressing lawyer to screw them over at every turn.

Bazookas The Movie is another one that's kind of a mixed bag for me.  Let me start off by saying that overall I did enjoy the film.  It had many great aspects to it, some interesting characters, and was generally quite fun.  However, I did find some of the humor to be quite contrived, which took a lot of the humor out of it.  It wasn't really the material so much as how it was delivered.

The acting in the film was a pretty mixed bag as well.  Some people played their characters great, with particular kudos going out to Angela Cohen, who played Angus' friend and loyal employee Christine, and the heartbreakingly beautiful Anita Sabherwal who played Natalie, Angus' accountant, who I feel was totally under utilized in the story.  Her character could have definitely had a larger part than it did, as she, like Angela Cohen, is a really great actress.

While those two, and others as well, did a great job with their roles, some of the characters didn't really feel like they ever found their place.  Characters like the pissy janitor (Roberty Lombardi) and Derek the juice bar guy (Derek DeAngelis) just seemed to get lost in the shuffle.  I don't know if this had more to do with the fact that there were just too many characters in the story or whether it was more that nothing was every really figured out for them to do other than to just sort of fill up space in the cast, but they just never really clicked in with the story.  This wasn't the actors fault at all, this was purely a story issue.

As for the technicals, this was a very well produced movie.  There were little cheapies thrown in here and there, like CGI generated signs on the building, a party scene with a lot less people than you were supposed to think were there, etc...  Hey, it's an independent film, you do what you can with what you have, and writer / director Michael G. Leonard did one heck of a good job putting it all together and made it look great.

There was something that struck me really funny when I saw it though, and I know they had to know it happened because Angela Cohen did it and it's so easy to spot that I can't believe they wouldn't have spotted it during editing.  Basically, she walked up to her front door and went to unlock it.  She went to put the key in the lock, but instead of the key going in the lock, just the tip went in the little divot, so she just wiggled it around a bit and then walked in.  I guess it was the wrong key or something, but she went ahead with the scene anyway.  I actually had to rewind it and watch it again because I was so shocked.  It was really pretty hilarious, and it's always fun to spot stuff like that in films.

The ending of the film was the only thing that really disappointed me.  We go through the whole film and then after the final scene, there's this big chase scene reminiscent of Benny Hill that takes place that has absolutely nothing to do with anything and is just silly.  Personally, while I can appreciate the motives behind it, it really just didn't work for me.  I'd have rather seen the film end in a normal way with a real conclusion scene rather than what was done there.

So looking at the film as a whole, including the story, the acting, the production values, and everything else, can I recommend it?  Absolutely, yes I can.  While the humor often falls flat, it's cheesy enough to make you smile and bring a sense of fun to the story.  All the hot girls running around both topless and in skimpy clothes doesn't exactly hurt either, and the general chemistry between the characters made the film actually work quite well despite its flaws.

So definitely check it out if you get a chance.  If you'd like to find out more about the film, check out the tailer or pick up a copy for yourself, you can head on over to the film's website at http://www.bazookasthemovie.com.
