Please don't spend money on this.

best movie i've ever seen.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I,m giving S.S. a 9 so I can dole out the tens for future projects by this Actor/director/singer etc. Very slick, episodic art film, great characters with a simple premise. Sam is a modern grind-house piece that hooks the viewer from the first GO-GO dance to the finale. This is the kind of film that will have novice film makers running crazy in the streets(or it should)with lines like "You got olive juice on my asking stick" and the longest secret handshake in cinematic history how can you go wrong. Whether staged or naturally charming, the latter I think, S.S.deserves the highest accolades for being tacky and fun in the best way.

When it comes down to cool-sounding sub-genres, I think Cory McAbee and company have figured out which may be numero uno. How can you go wrong with Musical Space Westerns? I really don't think you can. What can be better than that? Oh, I don't know...maybe something about Werewolf Hunters of the Mid-West…?This go-around you follow Stingray Sam and the Quasar Kid on a rescue mission as they try to track down a kidnapped girl in the hopes of returning her to her father. Tack on a story of brilliantly silly proportions that include pregnant men, excessive olive eating, and legit sci-fi imaginations, and you have an instant cult-classic.Once again, Cory delivers a memorable and altogether impressive musical space western that's chock full of catchy tunes (my favorite being The Lullaby), great over-the-top performances, and charm to spare. One aspect to this film that I thought was really well-done was how he utilized his own daughter as the little girl - whom he managed to direct amazingly well. At times he was able to bring that classic style of acting that a young actress like Shirley Temple made popular.Cory's approach to film-making is unlike anything else being made these days - or at least anything that I'm aware of. They have this universal appeal that makes one think they're truly incapable of being disliked. Of course, that's ridiculous to say, but when it comes down to movies that showcase as much heart as Stingray Sam, or The American Astronaut, it's not exactly difficult to make such claims. Check his films out if you get the chance, you won't regret it.

I personally would list this movie in my 'worst ever movies' list. . its an awful attempt of a comedy. . i would rate the various components as: movie 1/10 story 0/10 acting 1/10 comedy 1/10 dialog's 0/10 believe me friends do not waste your time on this. . its not worth that. . anything else(just anything) would be a better time pass against this. the story is just the worst i have ever seen. . in the entire movie i just couldn't understand the need of making it as a black and white movie, or the need to divide it into 5 episodes. BASICALLY I DIDN'T FEEl THERE WAS ANY NEED TO EVEN MAKE THIS MOVIE. There's not a single character to empathize with.

This film plays with American culture. It is filled with singing cowboys, an old-time Hollywood serial framework, sci-fi adventures, glam rock, and throws in some social commentary.It would be for naught however, if the film did not have an interesting story and characters with whom one could empathize.The music was also interesting, enjoyable, and fun. The Billy Nayer Show provides the music. Wikipedia describes the band as "of questionable genre." I have to agree but it is in a very good way.It is an odd film, with some odd characters and odd music. And that is quite wonderful.
