Good concept, poorly executed.

Fresh and Exciting

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Just watched this again for the zillionth time, and it never gets old. I love every bit of it. I believe it shows modern alienation, that behind a mask you see people's true colors. That's how Salman saw how Leslie was having an affair with her boss, but her boss was also having an affair with that other woman from the bus, the one who talked the old lady's ear off. And when Teri Garr's character drove by in anger at Kabluey, but then asked Salman for the tin foil in the store, and he was frightened hahaha. It was funny in parts, but I felt the over all tone is that of a lonely melancholy, it is very sad :( Not many movies have such grace in deliverance as this does, especially with a low budget, independent movie. A+ definitely... this will stay in my top 10, top 5 even

Scott Prendergast wrote, directed and stars in "Kabluey!," an indie comedy that's as quirky and offbeat as its title."Friends"' Lisa Kudrow stars as Leslie, a small town woman whose husband has been off fighting in Iraq for a year and a half and whose two unruly sons are more than this harried, overstressed mom can reasonably cope with on her own. Enter Prendergast as Salman (like Salman Rushdie, he proudly proclaims), Leslie's ne'er-do-well but well-intentioned brother-in-law who comes to live with the family and ostensibly offer his assistance - though Salman may be in as much need of help as Leslie and the kids."Kabluey!" is distinguished primarily by its droll and understated visual humor, which comes primarily through the humiliating costume Salman is forced to don for his job delivering flyers advertising a flat-lining dot.com company to utterly uninterested and even dismissive passersby. Salman has been pretty much a failure his entire life, but he soon discovers that , even though he can lose himself and even take a proactive role by hiding his identity in the suit, it is ultimately only by shedding the costume that he can hope to grow up a bit and become a responsible, fully functioning adult."Kabluey!," like most idiosyncratic independent comedies, captures the capricious flakiness of the people and environs of small-town life and the special quality of alienation that seems to reside in such places - and no one is more faceless and alienated than Salman when he's stuck in that suit. Its talented cast also includes Terri Garr (Kudrow's real-life mother and perfect voice-match), Christine Taylor, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and "SNL" and "Portlandia"'s Chris Parnell.It's a nicely atmospheric look at post-9/11 America, one that mixes humor and pathos in roughly equal measure.

Had no idea what I was about to watch. Came recommended from Kennsington Video. Very entertaining and thought provoking film about doing the right thing spontaneously. Has a very surreal almost Lynchian quality through the first half ( Be patient through first 20min). Anyone who's had or babysat 4-6 yr old boys, or rode the bus will get a good laugh. A really nice mix of humor and meaning. It takes place present day with references to the war in Iraq the recession and a very believable premise. I also found the acting of the main characters superb. I guess Id describe this as an unexpected hero story or unexpected guardian story. Without spoiling anything Ill just say Kabluey is the best brother and uncle you could ask for. Cute without being corny.See it.

Salman (Scott Prendergast) is a 30-something year old loser. He has no real job, no home, and no life. He goes to live with his brother's wife, Leslie (Lisa Kudrow) while his brother serves in Iraq. He gets a job at an Internet company where he dons a huge blue suit and stands on the side of the street handing out flyers.It's a hilarious scenario as his life couldn't sink any lower, and its hilarious to watch. But there's also a hint of the dramatic, as we see the lives in the film suffering turmoil and depression. It's a perfect blend of comedy and drama.An excellent film that mixes comedy and drama effortlessly that will have you laughing one minute and completely sad the next. You feel for the characters and you want a happy outcome for everyone.
