★★ · We're talking Bull here.. · Spuzz · 2003-09-29
Like 'Green Pastures' this is a film made by Ralph Sunn, made entirely out of mud. But UNLIKE Green Pastures, this is a little less entertaining. The story of a matador trying to win a girl by fighting a bull leaves many questions to the bull, like why the bull is friends with the matador, and then switches to enemy more then back with no real explanation. Love the singsongy title cards though.
