Can someone give me a synopsis of this movie? (along with an opinion if
it's any good or not) I've seen no previews for it, the newspaper ad
is quite cryptic, and no one that I know has seen it.
Thanks,
Sean

*The Stuff* An Artic driller notices white goo coming out of the ground (no, not black gold or Texas tea) and tastes it. It tastes great. He gets others to try it. We got us a product here, folks. In no time at all the FDA approves it, and people all over the country are eating it. And eating it. And eating it. Except for our hero, who doesn't go in for fads, and a little boy who is afraid of it. And so it goes. Ever see *The Blob*? The scare factor on this one is about the same. (i.e., if you're a twit wombat it's scary the first time, but probably not the second, and if you're anyone else there's no way it'll be scary.) It isn't even very funny. And I sure don't expect to see any awards for acting handed out to the cast. If you ever wondered what would happen if they melted the Sta-Puf marshamllow man, go ahead and see it. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. "When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all." Roger Zelazny, *Doorways in the Sand* Wombat ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!wombat
