Was not really sure what to expect from this film, loved the trailer and the premise and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. On the contrary, really well developed characters, great actors and hilarious events and circumstances. If you are into the genre you will definitely love it. Give it a try!!
I wasn't really sure what the movie is about from the trailer (and maybe I still don't know exactly), but the film is psychedelic and goofy enough that it's worth watching for laughs and a good time!
There is not one redeeming good quality in this waste of time. The plot is genuinely idiotic. There is no acting.
The directing is non-exsistent.
I'm honestly not sure how I stuck it out until the end of this mess. It's a train wreck.
Don't get me wrong, I like a good psychotronic event. This isnt one of them. It's horrible with a captial H.
Nothing meakes sense, you learn nothing and the premise -- looking for the meaning of the word Mondo, is just plain stupid.
Mark my words, don't waste your time on this boring, poorly made amateurish video. You'll live a better life if you skip it lickity split.

A funny, trippy, satire of Los Angelese. Never takes itself seriously, showing the many ridiculous sides and types in the not so glamorous Hollywoodland. Titans, Dreamers & Weirdos... which are you!? Really great archive footage/editing too.
I saw the film promoted on instagram and the trailer looked really wild and bizarre. Though the film meanders at times, it was actually really goofy and held up to the my expectations of it being off-beat and unique.
The film starts with the narrator who's essentially a character who goes on a mission to find Mondo, a phrase or state of mind it seems. He meets this drug dealer guy (but not tough, more like a hippie kind) and they split ways into three sections.
Each section has two characters that have their own little story and craziness ensues. My favorite scenes were with the antifa girl, who was really funny and brought a lot of life to the film and gave the film some political edge.
The ending brings it all together, which was satisfying because it did started to meander with the many different characters. Some of the movie does look and feel pretty low budget, but it sorta adds to the feeling of the film and it didn't bother me after a bit.
If you like off-beat, experimental films, you should check it out for sure.
