"I loved "My Mummy" so much, I bought it after renting it. Welcome to the delightfully wacky, goof-ball universe of J. Todd Anderson and George Willeman. This film has a singular look and sound, and my mind has been replaying many scenes for the last few days. (God help me: two expert low-budget filmmakers from Ohio have hijacked my brain.) I've ever seen such a smart, smart, smart film about such dumb, dumb, dumb guys. I hope we have not seen the last of the Earl Schmelzer and Karl Futznekkkr characters. If you are a fan of "Shaun of the Dead," The Three Stooges, The Marx Brothers, "SCTV", the studio sketches of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," Sam Raimi's "Crimewave" (co-written with the Coen brothers), "The Hudsucker Proxy," Cosmo Kramer, Jay and Silent Bob, Monty Python, and "Palookaville" you'll love "My Mummy." Guarantee it."
A soon to be cult classic.

"J. Todd Anderson's second directorial debut is a raucous good time. This campy but funny movie is well worth the price of this DVD. There are zippy one-liners, homages to the Three Stooges, and some very memorable characters. If you just want to have a great movie watching experience get My Mummy."
