palmmgt I would not trust the review or ratings on this site. Over the years, I've found that if you like independent, quirky films that are not predictable and cliché, you can disregard most of the ratings here because people that are active are no help. I only recently joined to give my two cents, only because I finally got sick of the awful reviews and strange ratings.This movie is hilarious, and offers a dark, comic backstage view of the NY theater, and the New York street that's without compare in films. The actors are top shelf, and they are not out there doing it on a hunch.You should rent it and make up your own mind rather than listen to anything written here, including me.

Infofreak Maybe it isn't THE worst but it sure comes close! The concept? A group of wanna-be actors moonlight as collection agents and thugs for a theatre impresario cum gangster. In between shooting people, including each other, they recite scenes from movies, everything from 'The Third Man' to 'Repo Man'. Does that sound stupid? You bet! Watching this until the end is a chore. Only masochists or people with a perverse fascination for truly awful movies will manage it. Writer/director Amos Poe probably argues that "quoting" from other (MUCH better!) movies is some kind of post-modernist statement about art and creativity. Really it's because he doesn't have enough talent to write his own original dialogue and characters. An unspeakably AWFUL movie that everyone involved with should be embarrassed about.

minnow-6 "Frogs for Snakes" **1/2 "FFS" is a hard movie to describe. There is this group of actors in NYC. They work together. They know one another. At various times in their lives they "love" one another. And they compete for the same parts in off-off-off Broadway plays. The owner of the theater, where they most often act and compete for parts, is run by Al. Al is a gangster and he employs these actors to make collections for him. To this point in the description of the movie it sounds like a kind of slice-of-life type story. But, "FFS" slips back and forth between the actors, Al and their day-to-day lives and killing one another. If one of them thinks someone might have a leg up on them for a part in a play, they kill rather than compete. And, after a kill the remaining players might slip right back into a dialogue that makes the killing seem like just another day at the office. Entwined in all the dialogue are these really interesting scenes, played out by the characters, from movies and stage plays. My favorite was a tryout where one of the actresses is doing Harry Lime. "FFS" is a cross between "Pulp Fiction" and "Living in Oblivion." I won't go so far as to recommend this movie but I will say I was fascinated by "FFS."

JustMe-8 I found "Frogs for Snakes" poorly done and if at all, badly researched.Early in the film one of the characters mentions that her boyfriend was sentenced to prison for 4 years, until 1969. A bit later she talks about the 69 Corvette he bought her. A remarkable feat -- getting a 69 car in 65.Still later, the term "dissed" is used, a term that didn't come into being until the mid 90's.Still later, characters used cell phones, which certainly didn't exist in the mid 60's.Just a bad film overall.
