Plump Fiction is a 1997 parody film, released by Rhino Entertainment. It's a spoof of 1990s films in general, and violent, convoluted films more specifically; the overall story is a send-up of Pulp Fiction, complete with intertitles and an out-of-sequence storyline, with other movies such as Reservoir Dogs and Natural Born Killers also parodied.
At the start of the movie, Don LaFontaine's voice talks about how Tarantino started a trend of extremely violent movies, and says that the time has come for much more wholesome, life-affirming movies — and he's cut off as someone shoots him.
The body of the film contains the following intertwined plotlines:
After the credits, a server at the Independent Cafe (who calls himself Priscilla, Queen of the Desserts) looks into the camera and says, "This has been one long, mixed-up, crazy, out-of-sequence kind of day!"
The following films, people, and TV shows are parodied or satirized in the film:
One of the things being satirized in this film is the way well-known songs are used in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs; the theme is an electric-guitar instrumental of "Hava Nagila," Jimmy and Mimi dance at the Cafe to the tune of Gitarzan, etc.
Plump Fiction has received extremely negative reviews from critics. Based on 5 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently holds a 0% "Rotten" rating.
