Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

zanriel I can't figure out who this movie is for. The humor was too juvenile and disgusting, so you'd think maybe it would appeal to 13 or 14 year olds, but it was very R rated with a lot of drug use, innuendo, and a fair bit of nudity. But viewers over the age of 18 or 21 would most likely find the humor too immature to really find it funny. I chuckled a couple times just because I was supposed to, but the characters were so unlikeable and the scenes so disturbing and ridiculous, it just wasn't that funny. I think I lost a few brain cells just from watching it.Jessica Alba looked great in this but her character was completely implausible... how could she possibly have been attracted to Anton? Every encounter with him he was acting like a complete nutjob. To me, humor works best if it's believable. The closer to real life, the funnier it is. This movie was so absurd I just couldn't find it funny, and it was gory to the extreme, with blood and gibs splattering everywhere, things getting impaled or sliced up. Monty Python can pull that sort of thing off and make it funny, but here it was just sick.I wanted to like this movie. I like the era it's from, late 90's, I like the actors, it had great music, and the idea of it was funny on the surface. The trailer made it look good, and I found a few writeups on the internet listing this as a must-see for Halloween. But for me, it goes into the junk pile along with movies like Joe Dirt or The Core.

John Doe This is a very funny dark horror comedy film directed by Rodman Flender and it focuses on Anton Tobias (played by Devon Sawa) is the laziest laz-ball you will ever meet. He refuses to go to school, doesn't have a job, and smokes weed with his buds Mick (played by Seth Green) and Pnub (played by Elden Henson) and watches TV all day. Anton has the biggest crush on Molly (played by the gorgeous Jessica Alba) but then his hand gets possessed by Satan. Idle Hands was released by Columbia Pictures on April 30, 1999. and bombed at the box office making only $4,152,230.The film has a great soundtrack from Rancid, Static-X and even an appearance by The Offspring at a Halloween concert. This is a very funny movie that is required viewing if you like Devon Sawa and Jessica Alba. I give Idle Hands a 7/10.

SnoopyStyle Anton Tobias (Devon Sawa) is pot smoking teen slacker. He's so oblivious that he doesn't notice his parents had been killed on Halloween. His slacker friends Mick (Seth Green) and Pnub (Elden Henson) tell him about the serial killer on the loose. He's in love with Molly (Jessica Alba) next door but he's too shy to talk to her. Debi LeCure (Vivica A. Fox) is on the hunt for the killer, a demonic killer. Anton discovers the bodies. His right hand seems to have a mind of its own.Devon Sawa is not the most compelling lead. He does this pathetic slacker character well. The comedy duo of Seth Green and Henson is terrific. There's a young hot Jessica Alba. It has some funny moments. It just needs more of them. It's a junior take on the Evil Dead hand and there's nothing wrong with that.

rockchester This movie is hilarious and for many reasons. Not the least of which are the special effects that just cracked me up most of the time. Truly inventive and well done.For those of us guys who demand eye candy in the movies we watch, there's Jessica Alba looking perfect and feminine, even dainty. There's also Vivica Fox looking tough but beautiful. But the real home run for me was that the director would sometimes inject scenes in to the fray with the thought 'let's see how really disgusting I can make this'. Absolutely fun to watch. Watch it with your girlfriend, she'll be grabbing you often and hiding her eyes while she clings to you when the truly gruesome and disgusting scenes come up.
