The Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke is a short movie that purports to tell the life of Luther Campbell, aka Luke Skyywalker, from 2 Live Crew. Since the movie is so short, it is hard to describe what happens in it without revealing any spoilers. However, the opening credits state that the movie is based off of Chris Marker's La Jetee, so if you're familiar with that movie, or its remake 12 Monkeys, you should have a good idea what happens. Basically, the movie is about how Campbell witnessed a tragic event as a child and how it affected his life much later. This movie is more tongue in cheek than the original however, with one improbable event happening after another. Adding to the zaniness is the movie's embrace of its low budget, with cardboard cutouts representing buildings, cars and even body parts. A lot of fun.
