I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Such a frustrating disappointment

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Larry Cohen's films contain themes that stay timeless, regardless of when they were released. Take The Stuff for example - consumerism, corporate greed, celebrity culture, junk food - none of the theme in this film have gone away. If anything, they've only increased in importance.The Stuff - a yogurt-like white dessert - is discovered coming out of the ground like black gold to Jed Clampett. It's sweet and addictive and quickly gets sold like ice cream. It's all natural with no calories and incredibly filling, so it helps people lose weight. Of course, sales go through the roof and destroy the ice cream industry. Along with junk food mogul Charles W. "Chocolate Chip Charley" Hobbs, these purveyors of sugar hire David "Mo" Rutherford (Michael Moriarty, who also appears in Cohen's Q) to get to the bottom of The Stuff and then destroy it.The more he learns about the product, the more horrified he becomes. The Stuff is actually a parasite that takes over whoever eats it, taking over their brain and gradually transforming them into zombies as it consumes them from the inside out - the very inverse of how people consume products.A young boy named Jason is learning the same lesson the hard way. It's ruined his family, so he destroys a supermarket display.David also meets Nicole, the ad exec who learns that the campaign that she created for The Stuff has only led to death and destruction. As someone who has worked in the ad industry for over twenty years, the battle between craft and commerce has never been so beautifully illustrated than it is here. The film is packed with fake commercials of celebrities hawking The Stuff, including Wendy's pitchwoman Clara "Where's the beef?" Peller, who yells, "Where's The Stuff?" to Abe Vigoda.Everyone that consumes The Stuff eventually turns into a gooey white substance and those under its grip do everything they can to kill our heroes (Nicole and David become lovers; they rescue Jason just as the police arrest him). The corporation that makes The Stuff claims they are trying to rid the world of hunger, but the possibly extraterrestrial substances is really being created to take over the world.They work together with retired United States Army Col. Malcolm Grommett Spears (a perfectly cast Paul Sorvino, Goodfellas) to destroy the zombies and a lake of The Stuff before sending a civil defense message to the country - the only way to destroy The Stuff is to burn it with fire.David then visits the leader of The Stuff Company, Mr. Fletcher, who reveals that they haven't destroyed all of the ways they can get the product. Now, they're working with the ice cream industry -including Mr. Vickers, who originally hired David - to make The Taste, a product that is 88% ice cream and 12% The Stuff. They believe that it will be much safer and still as addictive. However, David brings in Jason and the two force the CEOs to eat The Stuff at gunpoint. David asks, "Are you eating it or is it eating you?" as the cops arrive to arrest the corporate con men.You know how you should never leave the credits during a Marvel movie? Cohen was again ahead of his time here, as the final crawl also has moments showing smugglers selling The Stuff on the black market and a woman in a bathrobe saying, "Enough is never enough" while holding a container of The Stuff.From its inventive gore and special effects to its wry social commentary, The Stuff is sheer delight. It moves fast, it's packed with action and it has plenty to make you laugh, too. It may make you avoid ice cream for awhile, too.

Construction workers find a throbbing puddle of white goo on the ground and decide to take a taste (as one does). Turns out, this stuff is good -- really good! The sweet mystery treat is soon taking the country by storm. It's low in calories and it tastes great, so shut up and buy! A spy (Michael Moriarty) is hired by the competing ice cream company to try and crack The Stuff's secret formula. What he gets is a little more than he bargained for, as he battles giant waves of fanatical Fluff, inexplicably beds a beautiful woman (Andrea Marcovicci) and somehow attracts a tag-along child (Scott Bloom).If the above synopsis makes your stomach churn, "The Stuff" may not be the right stuff for you. If, however, you read it and are intrigued, you probably won't be able to get enough of "The Stuff." It's a silly b-movie to be sure. Throwing logic out the window at just about every turn, director Larry Cohen's schlockfest delivers silly, easily digestible entertainment, delivering chuckles (some intended, some otherwise) by the bucket load. Michael Moriarty is game as the hapless lead. With his lazy, drunken demeanor, you forgive the fact that he basically stumbles over his own lines and find yourself cheering the guy on as he encounters racists and racist stereotypes alike and goes toe to toe with the titular goo.The special effects are remarkably pretty effective for the era and the budget. In most shots, you'll believe that a dessert really could come to live and swallow you whole, like an albino blob. Cohen plays the whole thing fast and loose and while it isn't exactly an airtight movie, there's still lots of fun to be had with "The Stuff." When people speak of "midnight movies," this is the stuff they are talking about.

This one I remember watching on a Betamax, and it's high score is somewhat influenced by nostalgia. Tho it is a fun classic, with oddball heroes and an interesting creature(the Stuff) that evokes elements of Body Snatchers/the Blob. It's also similar to such movies as They Live with its social commentary submerged into its storyline. The theme of consumerism consuming us takes on a literal form in this fun film. It's one of those movies I watched over and over again as a kid, so definitely recommend it for a watch by anybody that like a dose of humour with their horror...my personal favourite was Chocolate Chip Charlie, just as quotable as Nada from they live...

There may be a good movie lurking in here somewhere, but I didn't see it. The main problem comes in a total lack of focus. It can't decide what it wants to be. If it's a comedy, it's not funny. If it's sci-fi, there's no actual description of what The Stuff is. It's one great big WTF from the beginning. The Stuff, with no warning or catalyst, bubbles up out of the ground and some dumbass decides to eat it. That's the basis of your movie? Perhaps if you can suspend your disbelief that there are people who'll eat off the ground in the middle of a mine, you can enjoy this. I can't. "B-but it controls your thoughts so..." Fine. Why hadn't it done so already? What's the catalyst? Where's the back story? Or where's the explicit acknowledgment that this whole thing is one big goof?From here on out, you're at the mercy of some of the dumbest plotting I've seen. Mo just walks into the middle of commercial shoot and shuts it down and no one really complains. Nicole, plausibly, wants to do a background check on Mo but, even though there's plenty of time, never gets the result. Instead, she implicitly bangs Mo within five minutes of meeting him. Jason's family are sociopaths and the worst parents ever. Apparently, it's the only way the scriptwriters could show the mind control aspect of The Stuff. Mo casually tells Nicole that he's an industrial spy and she just accepts that with no sense of betrayal, disappointment or any emotion at all. Don't get me started on continuity. What turns this into a tragedy is that the actors all seem to be enjoying themselves. Moriarty does the hick bit perfectly. Marcovicci, stunningly beautiful, lifts her write-off character above the one-dimensional script. Sorvino rocks it as always. Sadly, the script, direction and editing conspire against their good intentions to turn this into something that MST3K would pass on.
