DumbLand (2002)
4/10
More shocking than comedic value
14 July 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This 32-minute short film (or mini-series) is a collection of 8 very short films (all black-and-white) about a completely insane man. He is husband to an equally insane, yet not violent wife, and father to a complete lunatic of a son. We see the man's interactions with a doctor, mailman, family members, neighbors etc. This was done by David Lynch 13 years ago and that should give you a rough idea of how weird it's gonna be. My favorite episode was "The Doctor" and the episode named "Uncle Bob" was maybe the biggest shocker in here, no matter how repetitive it got towards the end. Even the fart jokes were tolerable in that one in contrast to the first two episodes. Sadly, there were also a couple really unfunny segments in my opinion. As a whole, it's only worth remembering this half hour for its shock value. All in all, it's not too funny and not really relevant for anything else. That's why only hardcore fans of David Lynch should watch. Everybody else won't really care or even be offended, which was probably Lynch's intention.
