If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
This movie has got to be one of the strangest comedy films I have ever watched. It's got so many cringe moments, a bit like Austin Powers. Tim and Eric are two very unattractive, odd men who are making a movie and they mess it up. Then they need money to pay the filmmakers back so they answer an advert to run a shopping mall.It's difficult to explain why this movie is funny because it's pretty horrible, gross and offensive. I just love Time and Eric's mannerisms, the way they walk and how they interact. They are so peculiar that you just can't help watching them and being amused.The phrase -it's so wrong, it's right - fits this movie perfectly.
I wanted to sign in tonight to give this movie 10 stars, then realized I already had. Pretty proud of myself. How could these guys get Chef Goldblum, the guy who was Ben Linus's boss on Lost, Ron Burgundy, Macgruber,Dewey Cox, The Snuggler, the amazingly psychotic Leland Palmer, the guy from The Room,Saul, & the coach from Necessary Roughness to be in the same movie? by being unbelievably funny.Btw Steve Brule deserved an Oscar for this one. It's certainly rough, but ultimately it will be the last of it's time. it's one final, awkwardly offensive salvo against the coming of the New "Look how shish I am " interMedia & the 3 minute TV show.Thanks for going there." you know, they probably forgot about the billion dollars."
I'm sure for the typical straight edge movie-goer, this movie falls under the "only people who are high laugh at this" film label. This assumption is usually followed by something about the style of comedy that Tim & Eric employ marginally. You see, I think of Tim & Eric as two absurdists who happen to smoke weed and ingest hallucinogenics. Granted, those fall hand in hand, that's not my point. The point is this movie is superb with it's star studded appearances and hilariously executed characters that may or may not have any purpose to the "plot" (although in this Time & Eric production, there is an actual plot I still feel the need to stress the looseness of the term). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll find emotions not yet to be felt by man, the movie gives you a very individualized experience all based on your own mind.
This was not a movie but a couple of guys playing in front of cameras. I now disrespect all the actors involved with this poor project. Will Farrell you out to be ashamed of yourself. John C. Rielly please find some new friends. The movie was on so many levels bad and the continuity errors run amok through the scenes. It is as if its a college or high school production. I tried real hard to find some sort of redemption, the only thing I thought was interesting was it seemed like all the actors wanted to be killed of just to get out of whatever contract they where talked into. I was so mad that i watched the whole movie -- so when someone asks I have to say I have seen it. Don't let any curiosity draw you to see this, it's all done better on youtube by amatures.
