My Big Night

The cinematic equivalent of a paella, cooked by a demented chef. Aside from zombies and alien attacks, there is very little which did not find its way into the mix.

A New Year's Eve special is being taped for broadcast... In October. Several references are made to the taping lasting several days with no apparent end in sight. Outside the studio, an angry mob is trying to disrupt the proceedings, angered by a mass layoff triggered by the show's producer. Inside, there are battles brewing between the married hosts, between the star of the show and his son and an upstart pop singer and his libido. And there's an assassin trying to get his revenge on the star. And, there's so much more.

It's a film that constantly threatens to go off the rails, but somehow manages to keep moving forward. Would have made a good Midnight Madness film, but somehow ended up in one of the other programs. Good fun.
