Comments: I've been looking forward to Frank Henenlotter's Bad Biology for awhile now. I watched the trailer some months ago, and even though I wasn't completely sure what it was about, it looked right up my alley. The image of women with vagina faces was a lasting one, although it turned out they were just masks (sadly). The story of Bad Biology revolves around a woman named Jennifer, who was born with seven (7) clitorises. She feeds from having orgasms, so naturally she runs into Batz, who has long injected his junk with animal steroids so that it's now a grotesque two-foot long beast. Bad Biology is as bizarre and unsettling as it sounds. The only problem is that it's rarely as funny and entertaining as it should be. The film made me chuckle in spots (the line where Jennifer speaks about how God wants to fuck her is great), but Henenlotter takes the film a bit too seriously at times. There's several rambling monologues (mainly voice-overs) that take the fun out of the film. Plus, the acting leaves a little to be desired (well, a lot to be desired), so Bad Biology never lives up to how awesome it could've been. My review shouldn't really sway anyone anyway, as those wanting to watch the film will do so anyway simply because of the plot and visuals, and those who don't want to watch it certainly won't after reading this. Unless, of course, they love two-foot mutant cocks.
