Steineded How sad is this?

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

zanriel I can't figure out who this movie is for. The humor was too juvenile and disgusting, so you'd think maybe it would appeal to 13 or 14 year olds, but it was very R rated with a lot of drug use, innuendo, and a fair bit of nudity. But viewers over the age of 18 or 21 would most likely find the humor too immature to really find it funny. I chuckled a couple times just because I was supposed to, but the characters were so unlikeable and the scenes so disturbing and ridiculous, it just wasn't that funny. I think I lost a few brain cells just from watching it.Jessica Alba looked great in this but her character was completely implausible... how could she possibly have been attracted to Anton? Every encounter with him he was acting like a complete nutjob. To me, humor works best if it's believable. The closer to real life, the funnier it is. This movie was so absurd I just couldn't find it funny, and it was gory to the extreme, with blood and gibs splattering everywhere, things getting impaled or sliced up. Monty Python can pull that sort of thing off and make it funny, but here it was just sick.I wanted to like this movie. I like the era it's from, late 90's, I like the actors, it had great music, and the idea of it was funny on the surface. The trailer made it look good, and I found a few writeups on the internet listing this as a must-see for Halloween. But for me, it goes into the junk pile along with movies like Joe Dirt or The Core.

Python Hyena Idle Hands (1999): Dir: Rodman Flender / Cast: Devon Sawa, Jessica Alba, Seth Green, Elden Henson, Vivcia A. Fox: Tasteless and gross horror comedy about a teenage male whose hand becomes possessed and able to kill people without the owner's control. No explanation is given as to why his hand is possessed but Devon Sawa is advised to keep it busy. He murders his parents, his two best friends, a couple of cops, and other locals. Even cutting his hand off doesn't help for it escapes, after a violent incident in a microwave. Pointless and stupid with director Rodman Flender trying to be clever. He gives references to An American Werewolf in London and Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn but to a far lesser degree. Special effects should please gore fans, but there is something terribly corrupt about the whole film. Sawa's reaction to the murders of his loved ones is unconvincing. In reality one would think that a reaction to something like this would be horrifying with a severe sense of loss, but that isn't indicated here. Seth Green and Elden Henson play his mutilated friends. Jessica Alba plays his damsel girlfriend and she is about as interesting as a pencil with a broken tip. Vivica A. Fox even shows up as a woman who believes that she can correct the problem but she only renders the film more ridiculous than it already is. Concluding result is a pointless barf film that is hardly funny. Score: 2 / 10

lewiskendell If you're a Jessica Alba fan, Idle Hands is going to appeal to you much, much more than the average viewer. We're talking about a movie where a woman who's basically made a career from being incredibly hot, is at her absolute hottest. If you're anything like me, that sole reason is more than enough to make Idle Hands required viewing. But some of you probably care more about the quality of the movie, than how hot young Ms. Alba was. Weirdos. Idle Hands is extremely dumb, and that's completely intentional. It's probably the most light-hearted slasher/horror movie I've ever seen, and there's a mix of stoner comedy in here, as well. A slacker's hand gets possessed by an evil force, and most of the movie involves him trying to keep it from murdering people. His bumbling friends often get in the way, and the hand's obsession with killing the girl he's interested in also complicates matters. Obviously, this isn't Hamlet, but I think it struck a decent cord between dumb humor and campy, 90's horror. I found it strangely enjoyable, in a very B-movie kind of way. Give it a shot, if you ever get the opportunity. Just have a cool drink handy, so that you won't melt under the hotness of Jessica.

Michael Anton Tobias ( Devon Sawa ) is the laziest guy in the world. Still living with his parents, all he does is watching TV and smoking weed. He ran out of weed and unfortunately his friends won't bring it over so he has to get out of the house. At his friend's place he realizes he hasn't seen his parents for days, and it doesn't take long for him to find out they have been murdered. After some investigating he finds out he is the killer, although he has zero memory of doing that. That question will be answered soon because he finds out his right hand is possessed, living it's own life and it's out of control killing everyone. And so after his parents he kills his 2 best friends, really funny dudes named Mick played by Seth Green and Pnub by Elden Henson. But they get back, because they arise from the earth half dead, half alive to help Anton getting rid of the devilish power inside his hand.I have to say, I dig stoner movies ( I'm from Holland so do the math )and this one just rocks ! Anton takes you with him on his adventure against his possessed hand and together with his 2 stoner buddies it's just one hell of a ride ! It has it all. Gore, Comedy, Romance ( did I mention Jessica Alba is freaking hot in this flick ). Also Seth Green is the star in this movie in my opinion. His one-liners hit the spot every freaking time I watch this movie.If you dig Dark Comedy or stoner flicks like Pineapple Express this one is for you !
