This mockumentary follows four puppeteers competing for a spot on the children’s television program “Sunflower Hour.” None of the candidates leads a boring life: child-like David suffers from an inferiority complex after the bullying he endured from his older brothers; Leslie tries in vain to win the respect and attention of his father, an evangelical clergyman; Satan’s Spawn is going through the toughest phase of her rebellious, post-pubescent life; and tough guy Shamus is a sham Irishman who has been treating his puppet like a real person ever since his dad left years ago. After the documentarists find out that the producers of the children’s program once worked in the porn industry it becomes clear that none of its creators should be making a show for kids.... Infectious humor, eccentric characters, and blatant exaggeration in a movie that posits a clear thesis: certain people should not be allowed to entertain and educate our children.
