It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I didn't think I'd like this film when I first heard about it-- it sounded altogether too bizarre for me. Then I watched it on the Web and I found that, weird as it is, grotesque as it is, downright horrific as it is, I enjoyed it. Personally, I think it would have made a dynamite feature length film if Mr. Cunningham could have crafted a serviceable script for it.I was ready for it to be truly frightening, but I was completely disarmed by the beginning of the film, the way Johnny babbles like a baby to the doctor. That actually made me smile. Then we meet Elvis (after the credits, such as they are,) and he's nothing more than a scared, twitchy Chihuahua. Johnny goes into his rave-dancing in his chair and begins to morph. Later, his dad yells at him.By the time the film ended, I felt nothing but sympathy for Johnny and Elvis, and little but contempt for Johnny's parents. To me, there's a moral here: Johnny changes and yet is perfectly harmless. His parents don't change but are in their own way grotesque.

"Rubber Johnny" begins with you asking yourself "what is going on?", and ends with you asking yourself "what just happened?".The positive that can be brought out of Rubber Johnny is simply that it is original. Now that being said, it is original in the worst of ways.A mix of cheap effects (however original), and a very poor foundation make Rubber Johnny a complete bust. One watching this for the first time, would think it was done by a couple of 10 year olds just fooling around and experimenting with a home video camera.But for the short amount of time it takes to watch it, check it out and see what I mean.

This short film has a "night vision" appearance, that is it looks like it was filmed in darkness with a infra-red camera. It starts with a blurry twisted "thing" speaking gibberish in a dark cellar, while a voice attempts to converse with it. Soon the "thing" becomes agitated and must be sedated.The faceless voice leaves, and a broken florecent light flickers as a small dog walks nerviously looking at the strange being in the wheelchair. Then you get a good look at the twisted creature, a distorted nude humanoid in a wheel chair with a huge bulging head mouthing bizarre sounds. Then it starts to get weird....

so warp records makes us wait and wait ...................... and wait ................. .............................and wait..for rubber johnny.. and then this is all Cunnigham can come up with?? It's not a 'BAD' music video by any stretch of the imagination.. its far better than nearly all the video's around at the moment, but its so obvious. the teaser trailer and the booklet with the DVD are far more interesting than the video itself, which feels as if the collaboration was just a bit... 'hey wouldn't it be cool if..' then ran out of ideas. very very disappointing. try harder. (and for £15!!!! get real)
