Movie Review: Junior/Engine Trouble

I first saw this movie about two or three years before the actual writing of this article, so the details of the movie may be sketchy, if that's at all possible

The title on the box says that the movie is called "Junior," but IMDb lists it as "Engine Trouble," which is probably just as good a title for it. "Refridgerator Repair Guide" is equally as good of a title. What the movie should be called is "Complete Fucking Waste of Whatever Time Spent Watching" because that's all I could think about for roughly 9/10 of the movie and all of the time immediately after. Also according to IMDb, this movie was made for 25 dollars, and I am wondering what they spend the other 20 dollars on

I am not sure what the plot of this movie is. In the first 10 minutes of the movie, we are treated to a girl brushing her hair, then after these 10 minutes she hangs herself on screen for being in such a shitty movie, and some old woman finds her. The director decided to use this footage, as it was much easier than to actually write a script

The movie then switches pace to two women. I always assumed they were lesbians, but I forget why. They are going on a road trip or something, and this is where the director used that 5 dollars to buy a car. The clever acting from the two women disguises the car to be something fantastic, or rather, it would if they could act at all. On the way to wherever they are going they stop by a gas station, and they buy gas and then drive some more

But what's this? After some careful driving, the car breaks down, so one of the women is sent off to go back to the gas station. She is never heard from again because she left the set vowing never to come back again. Luckily, the friendly gas station man comes along and fixes the car. This takes roughly a half hour of movie time to do, and during that time NOTHING HAPPENS AT ALL. If you don't believe me, watch the movie. You won't be laughed at because nobody else has seen it, and if they did, they would risk the utter humiliation of having to admit they watched this

This is where the movie gets fuzzy. I'm not sure why, but somehow the remaining girl totally ignores the fact that her friend is gone and ends up in a field with her car stopped. The car starts shaking for some reason, and it looks like the movie is going to start getting interesting. But then the car keeps shaking, and it takes this woman about 20 minutes to decide to get outside of the car, where she is met by some guy with a crappy hairdo and some scythe. He flips around for a while and then she decides to blow up the car. Its not even an impressive explosion, it just kind of pops. She does, however, trap this mystery idiot in the pop

Next we're treated to some backstory stuff that I either didn't pay attention to or don't remember because they didn't actually say anything. Anyway, the gist of it is that the girl who hung herself was supposed to marry the idiot kid that got blown up. He survived the blast though and just wears bandages and looks infinitely better which suprisingly isn't saying much. That old woman is there too but I think she dies

Also the other woman somehow ends up in the gas station basement and then decides to walk with her back against the wall. I guess she's trying to sneak around but its not hard to sneak when there's nothing there. She does get it right though in that it takes her forever. There's a couple rooms with mannequins in them, but I think they're supposed to be people. It eventually gets to the point where the gas station man and the woman (now in a wedding dress) are yelling at the idiot in bandages. Well, the man is yelling, the woman is just kind of holding out her hands mouthing "get me the fuck out of this movie." The man's throat gets slashed and then the woman kills the kid. Then she tries to leave but the man kills her. This takes a lot longer than it sounds like it would

And that's it. I explained the movie in much greater detail than I should have. Here's how I should really have explained it:

Some woman drives a car, then ends up in a basement and dies

This movie might sound like its so bad that its good, but really its passes that mark again and its just horrible. Never watch this movie ever
