Mr. Bloom (Brian Friedman) has seen better days as principal of the local high school - especially since he's threatened with being fired should the grades of his students not improve drastically. Meanwhile at home, his daughter (Cecelia Howell), a honor student, is driving him nuts as she's much smarter than him and let's him feel that she considers him nothing but a joke - in a way that leads him to murder her in cold blood. But where to hide the body? Why not feed it to his no-good stoner son (John Pates III) little by little. Thing is, once Bloom has started doing so, the son's behaviour changes drastically as he morphs into ambitious genius. That gives Bloom an idea how to improve the grades in his whole school ...

Now the basic idea of Lunch Meat is a good and delightfully dark one - one just can't shake the feeling that the execution's a bit on the sloppy side: It's not that writing, direction and acting are essentially bad, but the whole thing just lacks the spark to livbe up to its premise. Which is not to say Lunch Meat is a total trainwreck, it ought to still give you a chuckle here and there, it's just a movie that's not quite there ...
