“Bad Milo!” is a demented and dark midnight horror comedy about a stressed-out accountant whose spastic colon produces an avenging, predatory polyp. If the concept alone isn’t funny, it’s probably one you’ll want to pass on.
When we finally get a glimpse at that “thing” growing inside of Duncan Haslip (Ken Marino of TV’s “Children’s Hospital”), we understand the hour-long trips to the toilet, accompanied by screaming. It’s big, bald and wrinkled — E.T. with teeth and claws.
His doctor (Toby Huss) is reassuring. “You’ve got a thing in your butt,” and it’s due to “poor stress management.” All Duncan had to do was dial down the stress and all would be well.
It’s fitfully amusing, as bowel movement comedies go.
But “Bad Milo!” is the sort of film that you’ll want to watch at midnight, even after it’s migrated from cinemas to home video.
At that hour of the night, in the right frame of mind, most anything’ll flush.
