150 Words About . . . BAD MILO! (2013)

by James Newman

Never thought I would give a crap (heh) about a movie whose main plot concerns a demon coming outta someone’s butt!  Bad Milo! is a ribald horror-comedy about a fellow (Ken Marino of Role Models and We’re the Millers in a rare likeable role) whose stress level is so high his IBS mutates into something . . . else.  This ain’t no intestinal polyp, contrary to his doctor’s initial diagnosis.  The colonic chaos begins with the murder of a co-worker – perhaps the most annoying character in a genre film since Franklin in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre – and the body count rises from there.  Turn off your brain for eighty-five minutes and you’re sure to have fun with this one.  Eventually the joke wears thin, as there’s only so much you can do with this gag, but BM! (get it?)is worth a watch nevertheless.  Just keep the Pepto-Bismol handy.
