Synopsis
Shortly after his release from prison, Alphonse Brown meets up with his friend Scotch and reveals his intention to start a career as a pop star, following in the steps of his supposed father, James Brown.  Along the way, they discover a secret hallucinogenic drug which could well make their fortune – or bring about their ruin...


Film Review
If any thought actually went into this inane rambling anarchic comedy, there’s not much evidence of it from what we see on the screen.  Au contraire, it looks as if one day someone went out and bought a video camera and decided to improvise a film with a handful of mates "just for a lark".  It’s embarrassing, it’s tedious, and it has even less entertainment value than a soggy roll of woodchip wallpaper.  At least you can look at the latter without having the urge to rip out your intestines.
