Loose Shoes
There won't be a dry seat in the house!
A frenetic, absurdist sketch-comedy film built on rapid-fire parodies and crude buffoonery with minimal plot or emotional stakes.
Broad satire and buffoonery presented as a series of movie trailers. Among the titles and subjects are: "The Howard Huge Story", "Skate-boarders from Hell", "The Invasion of the Penis Snatchers", Woody Allen (pre-Mia), movie trailer come-ons, Charlie Chaplin, war movies, Billy Jack. The source of the title is presented about an hour into the film.
