Did anyone see this movie? Was it really that bad? Ebert and that other guy hated it -- saying it was mainly just gross. I haven't seen any good reviews, and several have pointed to it as an example of why the movie ratings system needs to be revised. One story pointed to the possible record number of people demanding their money back. Thoughts? ------------------ Stay Cool...
It's Tom Green what the h*ll were people expecting I don't care for his brand of humor but come on . . if you know the man u know his work . . . . don't even buy a ticket. Rocket River ------------------
I love Tom Green. I hated this movie. Tried WAY TOO hard to be gross. Go see The Tailor of Panama instead. ------------------ www.swirve.com pre-born, you're fine, you're pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
I loved the movie, and I love Tom Green. I think too many people just focussed on all the gross out stuff. But when you get passed that, there was some genuinlly funny jokes in this movie that everyone could appreciate. The glass cutting at the end when he breaks into his parents house. The Russian Roulette sceen with his dad in Pakistan. Green's great line after he gets up when he gets hit by the truck. Critics are too quick to find a whipping boy when reviewing movies. It makes them look smart when they can bad mouth the movies they see (one way or another), and I can imagine how critics were foaming at the mouth long before this movie even came out. See the Simpsons episode when Homer becomes a food cricket (critic). But I think Rocket River hit it on the head. The only difference between this movie and Tom Green's show was that the cursing was not bleeped out, and the gross out humor was a little bit more over the top than in his show. If you don't like his show, will not like his movie... don't go see it. ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers. [This message has been edited by RunninRaven (edited April 23, 2001).]
It's hard not to focus on all the gross out stuff when that's bascially all there is. ------------------ www.swirve.com "Pre-born, you're fine, pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
Exactly. . . I was not dissing Tom because he has made me chuckle a few times but I hate when people expect sh*t like say . . uhm . . SCARY MOVIE to be a cinemal masterpeice with plot/characterization It's funny . . let it be funny and stop looking for the deep hidden message Rocket River It's not like it's George Carlin *grin* ------------------
What were the true gross out scenes? The baby scene, the deer scene, both the elephant and horse phallus scenes, and the broken leg. Let me know if there are any others that I can't remember. These scenes probably constituted maybe 15 minutes of the movie. It should not be hard to focus on something other than 15 minutes of gross out humor when the movie is an hour and a half long or more. ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers.
When the rest of the movie is excruciatingly unfunny, then it is hard to look past the gross out scenes. ------------------ www.swirve.com "Pre-born, you're fine, pre-school, you're f*****."-George Carlin
Ok, fine. But that is objective. I personally found the rest of the movie hilarious... Just because you didn't like the rest of the movie doesn't make those parts non-existent, meaning the movie is comprised completely of material that you didn't like. ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers.
Very little, but it does come into play... about an hour into the movie. And yes, it does mean exactly what you think it means... ------------------ Watch out for gay Limbo Dancers. [This message has been edited by RunninRaven (edited April 23, 2001).]
whoa....i dig tom green! im still ganna go see it even if its ganna blow chunks. how is it compared to road trip? parts of that movie were funny. i think johnny knoxville should make a movie cause DAMN he is hot!=) ------------------ i am my own worst enemy
I thought this movie was the funniest damn movie ive ever seen. It was so rowdy in that theater, because everybody was just cracking up the whole time. hilarious!!! ------------------ The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why i didn't get more meat, ill just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where ive hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
man, if you think a movie with tom green is the funniest movie ever... j/k Tom Green has a interesting sense of humor which i think is pretty funny. Some of the stuff he does i think is down right stupid though. Movie looks like it could be good. ------------------
Tom Green rules- I heard this movie was like the grossest ever and makes fun of handicapped people and stuff like that-but i bet itll be funny ------------------ I know the bulls suck
I went and saw it last night--it's nice having a date who is as tasteless as I am. Very stupid--but what did I expect? But there were several parts that I found downright hilarious... Not as gross as I thought it would be, though...at least no one bit into a testicle in this movie. ------------------ Jazzkiller
