I like underground movies like this because I hate PC culture. Political correctness is a form of tyranny, and is part of the brainwashing that's killing the west. The tagline of Troma Studios is "40 Years of Disrupting Media." Perhaps it's PC culture that films like these are rebelling against.
That's not to say "Another Yeti: A Love Story: Life on the Streets" is just a string of thoughtless exploitation, no: it's *thoughtful* exploitation. You can always tell when someone is *trying* to make you laugh or to shock you: here's a film that does so authentically. For such a low-budget movie, real effort went into its production, and "Yeti" is genuinely funny. Factor in a surprisingly great soundtrack and you have a movie really worth your time.
None of the players in "Yeti" are great actors, but great actors are rare, even in Hollywood productions: and maybe I'm missing the point. Part of what makes this movie so funny is the self-aware expressions on the actors' faces. There are many men in this movie willing to make fools of themselves, delivering awful puns and silly dances (like the members of Monty Python) but I find it surprising to see the actresses willing to do the same. And they say there aren't women in comedy!
Apparently this movie's a sequel, which works against it in parts. "Yeti" is at its slowest when the actors are explaining backstory or setting up plot. Additionally, at an hour and sixteen minutes, "Yeti" is perhaps about ten minutes too long: something like the "cop mafia" jokes or the over-explaining of backstory/setup could probably've been cut.
However, some of the footage from the previous film is shown in flashbacks, and from I can tell, this sequel is a huge leap in quality. "Another Yeti a Love Story: Life on the Streets" is not at the shock and awe level of humour of (the opening of) Toxic Avenger III, but it's a great movie nonetheless and worth your 70 minutes.
To the film's makers:
Please make another.
