Shafted! (2000)

I love this movie!! most others probably won't...

This is a goofy, ultra-low budget comedy, in which most people will fail to see the hints of comedic brilliance. A delusional white mental patient believes he is the black crime fighter Shaft. It's comedy style is very similar to the movie "Hot Rod". The premise is great, the plot, not so much. I would guess the budget for this movie was about what you might pay for a used car. The one thing that makes this movie bearable is the comic genius of Morgan Rusler. he nails this roll, the man is a riot. I'm surprised that I haven't seen him in any other rolls, cause he is so funny in some scenes, I can't believe that he himself can keep a straight face. In summary, this movie is a riot if you like to laugh at some inept bumbling moron that really believes he is a force to be reckoned with.
