The Mother of Invention

I’ll admit that I’d never heard of this film until today. But now that I know it’s out there, I’m very interested in it. Just watch the trailer, and you may be too. Here’s a quick rundown on the plot of The Mother of Invention.

Vincent Dooly, played by Andrew Bowser, is an aspiring inventor who dreams of winning an annual inventing award. There’s only one problem… he’s never made anything that’s worked. Now, it’s the last year he can enter and he has some stiff competition from Martin Wooderson, the smug wunderkind who has a long history of winning. But this time, Vincent has a plan… and it just might change everything.

It was written by Joseph M. Petrick and directed by Petrick & Bowser. The film is a mockumentary about an odd “loser” inventor who refuses to give up on his dreams and is determined to have success as an inventor. Sure sounds like it has some potential to be an “indie” hit. Check out the trailer and see for yourself.

This does look kinda funny. When I first started watching the trailer, I thought it was going to be a actual doc like “King of Kong” or something like that. The Chris Hardwick shot was cracking me up. “ACES, so we’re gonna have some YouTube up.”

I had never head of this on either. Thanks for posting…

No worries, thats what I’m here for!

Chris Hardwick is hilarious. I remember him from that dating show on MTV with Jenny McCarthy. Anyone remember that?

King of Kong was a really good Doc.

I dunno, I think it looks pretty lacking.

There is something about it that intrigues me, but I am afraid it is going to be awful

I see that, there is no denying that this certainly could end up being crap. But, like you said, the intrigue is there and the material is original enough. Not going to be a blockbuster, but it looks like a nice little indie flick to me. Definitely could end up being reviewed by 790. lol ;)

I’m all over this when its released,,,!!! On dvd,,, prob used,,, or when I see it at my source for low price dvd’s (FreakBeat on Ventura)…hey guys!

I havnt seen the trailer yet cause of my blackberry handicap, but I’ll check it soon,,, when I first saw the title I thought it was a story about a mom that invented a jetpack?

This looks awesome, thanks for the heads up Jon

I am still on the fence. I wont be sold until I see the film. On one hand, the idea is so unique, and humorous that it looks amazing. But on the other hand it just looks lame. I dont know why, it just does.

I will definitely be keeping my eye out.

No worries, it’s what I’m here for!

It really could go either way Stan. I’m hoping it’s good though, and so far, I think it will be.

But I’ve been wrong before
Stan-Lee

Ok, after watching this several times I am now sold.

This week on the Movies For Nobodies podcast, they brought up a great point that this looks very similar to the film King of Kong. It really does, so similar it almost looks like a spoof.
Jon Stephens

I heard that, so I went out and picked up the king of kong and gave it a look. And it does. I think that will work positively for the film.
