Movie (no) pass Adventures: Hundreds of Beavers

I only went to see this because one of my students was talking about it- and I am so very glad he did. Black and white, low budget, full of cartoon effects, no dialogue – and hilarious. I laughed harder than I have at any movie in years.

It’s the story of a drunken applejack salesman out in the woods of Wisconsin in the winter who becomes a beaver trapper to win over the heart of a furrier and the approval of her father. It’s Looney Tunes meets prime Mel Brooks. There are a couple of sight gags that parents might not want to share with kids, but no swearing and no nudity.

Side note: I’ve noticed that I tend to write less about movies I like. I think it’s because I don’t want to give away details of films I enjoyed.
