Summary: ANYONE WHO RATES THIS LOWER THAN 5 STARS IS A MORON!
Review: This is probably THE BEST PUPPET MOVIE EVER!!! If you are into "dark and twisted" comedies like Welcome to the Dollhouse, Pink Flamingos, Dead Alive or Happy Tree Friends, this is the movie for you! This movie is hilarious! At first viewing its really hard to stomach due to its explicit nature... but this movie will soon become one of your top ten picks. Trust me. This movie is sooo bad its good! Anyone who rates this movie lower than 5 stars is a MORON, and should probably stick to watching half brained flicks like Fast and the Furious or 8 mile.
Peter Jackson is amazing!!!!!!

Summary: bizarre, disgusting and wonderful
Review: one of the most tasteless masterpieces that i have seen. form the character interaction, who doesnt want to see a cow in a bondage scene with a fly? many more remarkable scenes that are designed to make you feel uncomfortable are involved in this movie. another scene in which blech and his wife, Hippo, are confronting Blech about his mistress, a siamese cat, creates a uncomftable feeling much like American beauty tries to emulate.
The scene in which the drug addicted frog is placed in a vietnam P.O.W. camp demonstrates how a coward would act in a game of russian roulette, instead of taking the typical hollywood way out of the scene where he would save his fellow prisoner, he takes of with him only to betray him when he falls in to a pit.
so much mayhem, and disgustiness, it takes a twisted sense of humor to like this film, but it also, like so many of Jackson's films, takes a high intelligence level to see beyond the vulgarness.

Summary: Worst Movie Ever
Review: Rarely have I come across a movie as bad as Gummo, Dead Alive, Spice World, or Kazaam. Meet the Feebles however is truly terrible, and deserves its ranking as among the worst films I have had the misfortune to watch. I am not even going to bother reviewing it, suffice it to say that I would rather be kicked in the genitals than watch it again.

Summary: Worst Movie Ever
Review: Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles is the worst movie ever made. There is no word in the English language that describes how vile, disgusting, and wrong the film is. Peter Jackson manages to offend every sense that is used to view his work, resulting in the worst aesthetic experience possible. One way to describe Meet the Feebles is Jim Henson's Muppets - on crack. Imagine the Muppets in a very adult world where drugs, sex, and violence are commonplace. The opening scene of Meet the Feebles seems harmless enough, but right after the horribly-written theme song is a scene which burns the eyes: Muppets having sex. I suppose that Peter Jackson was trying to shock audiences, but it just ends up being disgusting. The rest of the movie progressively gets worse and worse. You know it's bad when you are 'treated' to a reenactment of the Vietnam war, Muppet-style. Peter Jackson's Meet the Feebles has left a scar on my innocence that will require intensive, expensive therapy to heal. Now I find it hard to watch children's television shows without thinking about the finale of Meet the Feebles where one of the puppets goes on a rampage and kills every other character in the movie with a machine gun. Whenever I see Lord of the Rings it evokes images of a giant cockroach sodomizing a large cow-woman. I find it hard to believe that a sick and twisted man like Peter Jackson was chosen to direct a reputable film like Lord of the Rings. If there was a way to give this movie less than one star, I would have done it.

Summary: Worst version on DVD
Review: I love this film, but don't buy this version. I saw 'Meet the Feebles' first at the cinema and owned it on VHS in Australia, and then on DVD from the UK. The US version is horribly dark and doesn't have the color of the original. If you really want to see a good version of this buy a Region free DVD player and buy it from anywhere but the US. The UK version is good.

Summary: Very funny!
Review: Jackson's Meet the Feebles is a classic example of just how far one can go to offend. I'm surprised Troma didn't distribute this one, cause it certainly is at the level that Troma pride's itself on. It's like a John Water's puppet show, only with more gore. The plot is about an ensemble puppet cast that is trying to tie together loose ends as they get ready for the big Muppet Show like opening night. The humor is almost constant, and this is certainly not for children. The dvd offers nothing more than trailers for lame movies. The transfer is also lousy. Suggested only for fans of Jackson's work. Casual viewers may want to avoid this one.

Summary: The Craziest Movie I've ever seen!!!
Review: MEET THE FEEBLES IS THE SICKEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN, BRILLIANT FROM START TO FINISH. I WOULD DESCRIBE IT AS THE MUPPETS MEET TRAINSPOTTING AND SCARFACE!!! BUT, I WOULD LIKE TO WARN YOU THAT THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR EVERYONE AND THAT THE DVD WAS [bad]. THE MOVIE WAS DISTORTED AS WELL AS THE SOUND. WHOEVER DEAD ALIVE PRODUCTIONS ALSO DID A REALLY BAD JOB AT THE TRANSFER. BUT IF YOU DO BUY THIS MOVIE, I FORWARN YOU ITS NOT OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY.

Summary: Sick, silly, absurd -- fantastic
Review: It would take someone as talented as Peter Jackson to make "Meet the Feebles" -- a gross, sick, absurd and twistily logical dark (very dark) comedy. If "Frighteners" was Jackson's version of "Ghostbusters," then this is his even weirder version of the "Muppet Show." (Not one for kids, either) The not-so-good "Feebles" variety show has just scored a network special, with buxom singer Heidi the Hippo as the central attraction. Behind the scenes, it's another story: Heidi's lover Bletch the Walrus is cheating on her with a slinky Siamese, Wynard the Vietnam-scarred frog hasn't been able to get more heroin and is having problems with his knife-throwing act (you can imagine what happens), a rat is making pornos in the basement, a blue elephant is embroiled in a paternity suit with a chicken (guess what the kid looks like), Harry the rabbit has come down with a venereal disease, and new porcupine Robert has fallen in love with a beautiful chorus girl. To make things worse, Bletch is involved in a scheme with underworld drug kingpins, one of whom is a whale of a problem (seriously -- he's a whale). Heidi is pigging out on chocolate and starting to come unglued mentally out of fear that her lover doesn't care about her anymore. And when the curtain goes up, will the Feebles be able to get their acts together? (I'll give you a hint: The answer has two letters) Peter Jackson once said that he had a "moronic" sense of humor, and it shows here in all its grimy glory. What if the Muppet Show were plagued with every kind of seediness? Sex, drugs, puppet porn and some really disgusting vomiting (and cast members occasionally eating one another), and a machine-gun massacre are spattered over this story -- and while you may not want to, you'll love it. Jackson's love of splatter-gore shows in a row of birds crushed by a barrel and plenty of flying body parts near the finale. It's so incredibly in "bad taste" that I simply couldn't stop laughing. (Warning to those with weak stomachs: This movie is not for you) He even touches on some interesting questions like: What kind of offspring would two puppets of different species have? Several of the characters are reminiscent of Muppets -- a blowsy diva who storms off when she's unhappy, there's a frog, a chicken who's had an affair with a long-nosed blue guy, a nasty little rat... any of it sound familiar? Jackson takes the concept and runs with it. And there are a bunch spawned especially for this movie, like the glittering fish that Bletch eats, or a malevolent little fly-on-the-wall who takes pleasure in spreading bad news. Most of the characters are either pitiful (Heidi) or revolting (the lecherous, manipulative Bletch). They make porn, they dish dirt, they snort drugs, they bounce into each other's dressing rooms. (There's even a pervert anteater and a fox who does a very dignified -- yet obscene -- musical number!) And Jackson knows to balance out all the wretched characters with likable ones too: Arfur the doe-eyed worm and Lucille (poodle) and Robert (porcupine) as the adoring lovers. The downside? The DVD is fuzzy and overly dark in places, like a videotape that has aged badly. This is a particular problem in scenes that take place in semi-darkness, which many backstage ones do. The extras are... more or less nonexistant. Hopefully this film will be rereleased in a format more worthy of it. You might be able to watch Kermit and Miss Piggy and the rest of the Muppets after you've seen "Meet the Feebles." But I promise you that you will never, ever watch them the same way again. "Meet the Feebles" is sick, silly, and utterly twisted -- not a masterpiece, but brilliantly, weirdly, insanely funny.

Summary: Brilliant movie- however.....
Review: I'll spare the obvious "Muppet Show on LSD" comparisons, regardless of how accurate such a parallel is. This movie would offend Sam Kinison with its depravity and glorious decadence. It's fascinating to watch Feebles and Bad Taste to get a glimpse of the style of Peter Jackson before his LOTR fame. This is as close to an indicator of how much tastelessness one can endure as humanly possible (though even my dog bolted from the room during one of the more nauseating moments). The disc, however, is one of the poorest transfers I've ever seen. Both the VHS and the now out of print original Substance DVD release had clearer pic & sound. There's really not much of a platform to gripe with such a low price, but a movie of this caliber deserves better. Not sure if there is a rights issue with the film (Bad Taste is out on Anchor Bay, Dead Alive on Trimark/Lions Gate/Live, Heavenly Creatures on Miramax) which is preventing an acceptable print for Feebles. Someone....anyone.....sort it out and acquire the rights to Feebles and give it a DVD transfer that it deserves!!!!! Five stars for the movie, one for the disc itself.
