Mumbo Jumbo

About This Movie

Mumbo Jumbo (2005) offers a quirky take on the war on terror, blending satire with a touch of absurdity. The film follows Gool, Rube, and Simmo, three suburban guys who fancy themselves as vigilantes. Their misguided plans are where the humor lies, creating a sense of unease mixed with laughter. The pacing feels intentionally erratic, echoing the chaotic lives of its characters. The practical effects are low-budget but add a certain charm—it's all about the improvisational feel rather than slick production values. The performances? Well, they have a rawness that sometimes works in the film's favor, giving it a unique character. It’s not your run-of-the-mill comedy, definitely stands out for the themes it tackles.
