SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Nonureva Really Surprised!

F. R. Tiberius I've sat through the epic-turned-porn Caligula, and THIS is what grinds my gears so badly. This is, beyond doubt and reservation, the WORST movie I have ever seen. Not only is there not a single likable character in this movie, but there also isn't a single scene that leaves you with anything better than a vague sense of discomfort after viewing it, most of which inspire active anger and pain. There is absolutely nothing in this movie worth seeing. Even if you just want to be titillated by the genitalia, don't waste your time; it isn't remotely titillating, it's just there. From what I can gather, this movie tries to be a scathing commentary on American censorship. But all it comes out as is a scathing commentary on the libidos and frat-boy mentality of Matt and Dave. I don't know what these guys were on when they wrote this script, but even Matt Stone and Trey Parker could've done a far better job.The gist of the movie stems from the TV show about eight cartoon characters in a kind of reality show setting: Foxxy (played by Cree Summer - I haven't been able to watch My Life as a Teenage Robot since), Princess Clara (played by Tara Strong - I've only barely been able to watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic since), Wooldoor (supposedly a Spongebob expy, but certainly doesn't act like it), Captain Hero (who exhibits a horrifying necrophilia throughout), Spanky Ham (who inexplicably reminds me of Squigley from Sinfest), Toot (who has somehow been impregnated by Barney Rubble), Xandir and Ling-Ling. Foxxy surmises that their show is off-air when she realises that nothing is being censored anymore - which would only make sense from the perspective that it was still on TV and the uncensored DVDs weren't available yet. It transpires that their CEO is trying to remove them from existence with a machine called ISRAEL (why call it that anyway? What's the point??), but their producer tries to help them escape. The film takes jabs at the producer being Jewish, at one point having him bother his neighbour to press the call button on his phone for him on account of it being Shabbat. Uh huh. Why he even had his phone on for the occasion, I cannot imagine. Anyway, the whole thing takes the housemates on a rampage across the desert into a cheap imitation of Disney animation into some kind of stage show with a South Park version of Baby June from 'Gypsy', through which many pointless attempts at making penises funny and the vehicular manslaughter of several beloved and respected cartoon characters occur. It actually gets worse in the last half-hour, with an animated sex scene in 3D, which, while not as hardcore as I'd feared, still is a psychedelic mind-rape that drags on for too long and again is not remotely titillating, after which the remaining housemates fly to Make-a-Point Land where they're greeted by a tornado of Foxxy's abortions, a wretched giant whose rostrum deposits waste into his mouth, and yes, more erection gags, proving once again that Matt and Dave have no limits when it comes to pointless and senseless exhibitionism.I HATE this movie with a passion. I feel STUPIDER for having even attempted to sit through this disgusting, misleading, irresponsible film that should never have been made. To paraphrase the Cinema Snob, maybe that'll work out in future when I watch cruder films like Showgirls or Gross Out, because guess what: half of my brain is now missing!!

yuval lubin the spoilers refer to a single character that appears in the movie and are fully explained within 10 min. i usually don't write review and i wouldn't have in this case either if anybody else would have already said it, but nobody did. I liked the show, it was racist and obscene to be sure, but in a way that was critical of over politically correctness and played with the concept of cartoons. also, many of their jokes were touched with a bit of insane gold that came from a strong connection and parody of the source material. however, the movie is nothing like it. the first thing that is notices is the obvious downgrade in animation: the characters are much less fluid and look more like a internet video from 2007. this makes the entire experience alienation to old viewers and unattractive to new ones. next, the jokes are not nearly as funny, feeling mean and uninspired. on top of that, the obscenity is done in a way that feels like they are trying to prove they are obscene more than be obscene to defy expectations like in the original. but all of this was already said by others. my main problem was the obvious, offensive, politically biased presentation of Israel. this is done as a repeat joke through the use of a plot device of a character by the same name. every reference to the character is a part of an attempt to de-legitimatize Israel. Israel is a killer robot who attacks peoples homes under the command of corporations and forces American Jews to help it. on top of that, the characters keep spouting out lines like "Israel took me from the only home i ever knew." the repetitive and extreme nature of the joke makes it unbearable to me as an Israeli (if you have not guessed) and would to anyone who believes Israel is not entirely in the wrong in its current situation. I would not recommend this movie though since even without the Israel joke, it hardly rates a 4 and is not nearly as good as the old show.

Matt Kracht I've never seen the TV series, and, after watching about half of this movie, I don't want to. I had heard of the TV series, but I thought it was some stupid kids' show. Then I heard it was more like an amusingly racist and homophobic show. I thought, "Well, that could be funny." The problem is that it's not.I don't care if the show is anti-semitic, racist, homophobic, pornographic, misogynist and gross, as long as it has jokes that make me laugh. I never laughed once. It wasn't because I was too offended or I thought they went too far. No. I thought the jokes were very poorly written, like they were copying the most generic, derivative jokes they could find from 4chan and fark. They're cartoons, but they CURSE! Isn't that crazy?! And they sometimes show their GENITALIA! I've never heard of a cartoon like that before! And, get this, one of the characters is named JEW PRODUCER!!!! It's hilarious! Or not.Unfortunately, that's the entire sum of their wit. The jokes never get any better, and the humor never becomes less generic. I've seen this all before, and I've seen it done better. I've also seen it done more offensively, so don't even try to complain that I was too offended or something.If this had actually been funny, I'd have given it a higher rating, but the writers are pathetically lame. It's no wonder that their show was actually cancelled.

Cory Williams (geometroid) Note: I am legally blind and cannot see 3-D, if you want to read about the 3-D aspects of this film you need to look elsewhere as I will not be commenting on them.I will begin this review by saying that if you don't know what Drawn Together is, you probably don't care much about this movie. If you are reading this because it popped up on your recommended list then you should go back and watch the series and THEN watch this movie.Know this though, this show (including the uncensored movie) is raunchy, I mean RAUNCHY! If you have a weak stomach, if you think that South Park is stupid or should be taken off the air, you should avoid this show like the plague. It is not for you. As a matter of fact, If you are not in favor of censorship you may STILL have your convictions pushed to the edge. This is not a show for children or weaklings.The plot of the series (if it can be said to have one) is simple: The first animated reality show. Cartoon characters of various kinds are brought to live in a Real World style house. The characters are archetypal cartoon types from a Pikachu-type battle monster to a Betty Boop knockoff. The thing that makes this show work (at least to me) is that these are the characters when they aren't being characters. In other words, If you can imagine Daffy Duck finishing a take, going home and indulging in all the debauchery that Hollywood offers, you are starting to see what this show is like. What emerges is a post-modern mix of the real world, The Real World, the cartoon world and a mix of any other cultural reference you can possibly think of."So that's the series?" I hear you saying, "You're supposed to be reviewing the movie!" Well yes I am, and That brings me here.After Futurama showed that Direct to video movies could not only lend vitality to a canceled series but might actually have the ability to drag a show back on the air, it was natural that some of the other good shows that were canceled because of network bottom lines might make it back on the air as well.Enter Drawn Together: The Movie…The Movie, a perfect example, this series was rated number one on college campuses across the country and was canceled anyhow. It could be said that this is because TV networks don't care about smart people. See? I just said it, so it can be said! This Direct to DVD movie takes the philosophical fight right to the producers. The Drawn Together Gang has to travel to Make-a-point land to get a point, because the racist/gay/violent/sexual humor of the show seems to have no point. Along the way they have a number of interesting moments (including a moment when the cast listens to the DVD commentary to escape a bad situation) and meet some strange (I mean REALLY strange) characters such as a very strange little girl and a giant that craps into his own mouth.The only questions that really matter here are 1) Does the movie live up to the series 2) Can you sustain a show that usually has 22 minutes of content for an 80 minute movie. The most important question to the fans is "Can this movie bring Drawn Together back on the air?" The answer to the first two questions is a qualified "Yes". If you are a fan of this show you've probably watched Drawn Together episodes back to back on the DVDs, this just saves you from having to do that. As to the latter, the story actually does drag on a bit, however the writers seem perfectly aware of this - one of the characters even asks "Is there a Wrap-this-up-already land??" The answer to the third question is "NO". The movie is done in Flash which alienated some viewers. It needs to be said that the creators of Drawn Together were doing a movie for half the budget of one episode of the series and they did it fairly well. This was obviously done by the network (a network too cheap to provide 3-D glasses for a 3-D movie) to destroy the show forever.I think they have, 80 minutes of writing on an 11 minute budget shows and the writers should not be blamed for it.To end on a positive (kinda) note though, fans DO get closure in this movie, there is an end.R.I.P. Drawn Together.
