DVD Reviews of Idle Hands
DVD Review: In Love With Leatherface
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, I was looking for a stupid movie to watch with my best friend, and I came across "Idle Hands". I read some of the reviews on here to see if the movie was any good. Man, what's up with the people who don't like this movie? GO SEE IT NOW!
IT IS AWESOME! More than half of the people who said that the movie sucked complained that it was ripped off of other movies. Yeah, so? Newsflash: That's why it's funny! DUH! That's like someone seeing "Scary Movie" and then saying that it was dumb because it was ripped off of other movies. Don't people get the fact that this movie is making fun of other horror movies? Now that that is out of the way...
Ok, I'll admit it, I only picked up this movie because Seth Green is in it. He's one of my all time favorite actors, and he's SO HOT! This movie is about a group of stoner friends who are the laziest people you've ever seen. The laziest is Anton Tobias. Apparently, Idle Hands are the Devil's Playground, so Anton's "idle" right hand becomes possessed by the devil. Yeah, I know, it sounds pretty dumb. But, this movie is actually really funny. I guess the trick is not to take this movie too seriously. Anyway...
Anton cannot control his murderous right hand, so it begins to kill people. Including his parents and his two best friends Mick (Seth!) and Pneub. Thankfully, his friends come back from the dead because heaven was too far away and they didn't want to walk that far (haha!). Eventually, Anton chops off his hand with a butcher knife. Now, with the help of his two un-dead buddies and one crazy Devil Hand Killer (Vivaca A. Fox), Anton must catch his hand before it kills the love of his life, Molly (Jessica Alba).
I loved this movie! It's just so out there and crazy that you have to laugh. This movie isn't for everybody, especially for people that:
1. Are strict movie critics-This movie is a cross between "Dude, Where's My Car?" or any other stupid stoner movie and any movie that involves a killer hand so, yeah, obviously it's gonna have some plot holes!
2. Don't have a good sense of humor or don't find things that are kind of...umm..."sick" humorous-Yeah, I guess this is black comedy. You know, it's like oh! Let's watch this kid eat blood or let's heat this burrito up in that microwave that's full of blood or let's poke fun at the Texas Chainsaw Massacre! ("What? Did he just say he was Leatherface? That's not funny. People died, you know!") Seth acting like Leatherface was one of my favorite parts of the movie. So, it's all in fun.
3. Have really, really, really weak stomachs- Man, everyone's like, Oh! This movie is SO DISGUSTING! No, actually it's not! The gore is just stupid and laughable. Like, "stupid gore". If you're like me you'll say, Whoa? Did he just use a barbecue fork and duct tape to stick that guy's head back on? Is that cat eating an eyeball (which looks really fake)? And then you'll just laugh you head off. I love a movie with lots of blood and gore. I'm just weird like that I guess!!!!
4. Are young and impressionable kids- I personally wouldn't let a little kid watch this movie. You know, 13 and up. Depends on how mature they are. There is a lot of pot smoking and nutmeg/oregano smoking in this movie. There's language, but it's not like a kid wouldn't have heard that stuff before. Some "stupid gore". Nudity, which made me mad (I'll get to that next). But I can see some kid now, "Mom, so if I sit around all day and do nothing, my hand will be possessed by the devil? Cool!" Hahaha...
5. Are offended by nudity- Ok, this was the only part of the movie that made me mad. Why is it always women? I mean, was it really necessary for that girl to be topless in the car scene. I don't think we really needed that in this movie. The last thing we need to premote is the fact that a lot of girls are turning into *coughslutscough* because of what they see on tv and in movies. But why is it always women? There were plenty of hot guys in that movie! Man...
Ok, I've talked for long enough! GO SEE THIS FREAKING MOVIE! It rocks. Has some great one-liners ( "I'm not going through all that Tonya.") Have some fun. Watch a stupid movie...
"Look at me! Look at me! I'm Leatherface!"
Description of Idle Hands
17-year-old slacker Anton Tobias wakes up one Halloween morning to discover that his parents have been turned into headless Halloween decorations and his right hand has a blood-thirsty mind of its own.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 31-AUG-2004
Media Type: DVD
Despite all the pot-smoking in Idle Hands, the message here seems to be that too many bong hits will take you on a one-way trip to the devil's playground. That's what happens to Anton (Devon Sawa), a wasted teen who's so perpetually zonked on weed that he doesn't notice his parents have been slaughtered by an evil force that then possesses Anton's right hand, taking on a wildly homicidal life of its own after Anton chops it off with a butcher knife. The first victims are Anton's pals Mick (teen-movie stalwart Seth Green), who gets a beer bottle embedded in his skull, and Pnub (Elden Henson), whose head is lopped off by a rotary saw blade, and later reattached with a barbecue fork and duct tape. (Did we mention that Mick and Pnub turn into undead jokesters? It's that kind of movie.) This unoriginal idea is little more than an excuse for gross-out effects and easy one-liners, and then Vivica A. Fox appears as the demon-buster who knows how to kill the hand once and for all. It's fun to a point, and certain to be a popular Halloween hit with its intended teenage audience, but you can't help wishing this movie had tried harder to be something more than a collection of crude and gory gags. --Jeff Shannon
