Nonureva Really Surprised!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Dragoneyed363 WARNING: I advise anyone who has not seen the film yet to not read this comment.Weirdsville was overall a pretty good and entertaining movie. I had been wanting to see it for awhile because it looked very cool and also Taryn Manning was in it and I love her. It ended up being nostalgic for me because, well, when the movie started off, I really didn't know what to expect. I had read what it was about and after I did the movie seemed very promising, but the feeling I got from the opening just wasn't a good one, or to be more kind, a weird one, which is understandable from the obvious title. I mean, for about the first 20 minutes I really just wasn't interested in it and was waiting for something exciting to happen. As the film progressed, it was kind of like a roller coaster. At points (When the Satan-worshiping cults fist come in; the midget cop and when he rounds up his medieval posse; all the Taryn Manning scenes) I was very interested and entertained and was loving it. At others though, it was just so and quite hard to tolerate, because the characters are quite annoying and the plot really doesn't suck you in that much.I love the whole concept, though; A cult wanting the blood of a girl who they believed was brought back by Lucipher himself, while at the same time her screw-up friends who are constantly high are on the mission to pay off a guy who they had a drug dealing with and at the end the stories all collide into one; It was just so chaotic and fun. At the same time though, it could've been handled way better. Well, I enjoyed it to an extent and I enjoyed Taryn Manning for she made the movie so much better, but overall there are a lot of greater films I could have spent my time with. Maybe I would enjoy it more an rewatch, we'll see.

slake09 Weirdsville follows two junkie friends as they careen through a night of excess and oddities. The main problem with it is that all the weird situations feel contrived, like someone without much imagination sat around trying to think of weird things. It doesn't have the bizarre, what-comes-next edge of a Tarantino or Lynch movie; each time something happens that is supposed to be weird, it's just banal.The acting, production and other aspects of the movie are fine; it's the script that suffers from a lack of weirdness. No doubt it sounded funny on paper.The movie is watchable and better than a lot of films I've paid more to see. It's just that the synopsis and title misled me; I was expecting some really strange turns to the plot and all I got were midgets and dope fiends.

AudioFileZ The most positive thing I can personally say regarding Weirdsville is that I did at least keep watching until the end. That said, I just as soon wished I had used the time for something more rewarding. I felt the movie though stylish and reasonably well produced just fell flat in both story and humor.Classic stoner flicks suck us in in spite of the fact most of us do not actually identify with stoners. I mean a good movie of the stoner genre is wickedly funny and built around likable stoner buddies, i.e., Cheech & Chong, Harrold & Kumar, Bill & Ted...et.al. In Weirdsville I never felt a like for Dex & Royce particularly. They were in a predicament that had them racing against time to come up with money (reminded me of The Blues Brothers). They were being chased by several different "nut jobs" (like the Blues Brothers). The ensuing situations just were not especially funny (NOT like the Blues Brothers which was uber-hilarious).Granted I'm not the primary audience this flick is aimed at, I mean I'm 48. However, I know a good stoner flick when I see it and this misses the mark. Simply put, not awful by any means...Just not good enough to recommend.

Phillip Kendall Besides that the two lead actors are pretty funny I hated most bits of this movie. Basically this is a stupid stoner caper with a catch. The catch is that instead of smoking weed the idiot protagonists are addicted to Heroin. Unlike in Trainspotting these characters just act stoned and I think if they were on heroin as much as depicted they wouldn't be able to drive, communicate or function. Totally unrealistic. Why glamorise the needle? Are we so desensitised by drug use that we resort to crazy heroin antics. Nutter hilarity ensues with all things cinematic: Midgets, Satanic worshippers and the mafia no trite cliché is abandoned. Do Not like this one bit. How is this in the 2007 Toronto Film Festival?
