I cannot comprehend how this film has a 5.6 rating. It's one of the most inspirational indie films I've ever seen. It's so well done, and everybody involved in it (especially the actors and director) does a phenomenal job.
Mr. Dungbeetle is such an innocent film, a group of mental institution escapees go out on an unsupervised (for a little while) adventure into nature, where they admire the beauty surrounding them, as well as the beauty dwelling within themselves. This is a movie about seemingly flawed individuals who find self worth and meaning. They are adults, but yet so charmingly childish, it makes the audience feel like a youth themselves.
It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think about it ever since then, it leaves an impact on you. You get lost in the story and the characters. I agree with another user, who in their review related it to "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Quite an accurate comparison, Mr. Dungbeetle is like its younger, inexperienced yet unsoiled sibling.
DO NOT just brush past this one, it most certainly deserves the entire public's attention. More and more folks these days are realizing that indie films now are just as good if not better than Hollywood box office films, in both quality and themes: this is the age of independent cinema. And Mr. Dungbeetle is an excellent ambassador for it.
