Summary: This IS a movie about love!
Review: This is a response to the Aug 7th review trashing the movie because its base and disgusting, and continuing by saying we should watch a movie about courage, nobility and love.This IS a movie about courage, nobility and love! That's the genius of Peter Jackson. In the midst of all this debauchery and chaos, there really is a very simple, honest, love story between a heroic hedgehog and a virtuous poodle at the center of this cinematic masterpiece, and its masterfully contrasted against the false love of the hippo/actress and the walrus/stage manager that ultimately ends in betrayal and tragedy. Make no mistake, this really is a movie about the characters, despite the fact that discussions of the movie always center on the more sensationalistic aspects of it.

Summary: I don't have enough time in my life for this dreck
Review: Whatever small value this film may hold, there are far better things you can be doing with your time. Why wallow in the base and disgusting when you don't have to? Is your time *really* better spent laughing at scatalogical "humor" than in contemplating more complex human emotions? Courage, honesty, nobility, love? Oh, but I've forgotten: those are much too serious and out of fashion. Do something else with your time, and your money. Read Socrates. Go find out what trees look like. Fall in love, even.

Summary: The Muppet Movie's Evil Twin
Review: this movie is everything i'd hoped it to be. it's disgusting in every way imaginable at one point or another and it progressively gets funnier and more outrageous as it goes. oh, and it has puppets. lots of puppets. any fans of director peter jackson's "dead alive" (jackson also directed meet the feebles) would definately enjoy this movie. it's got the same demented, over-the-top, dark sense of humor that made "dead alive" so entertaining.

Summary: Meet the Feebles was disturbing and artistic....I loved it!
Review: "Meet the Feebles" was an excellent movie! Sure, this movie was quite odd, and if you ever showed it to a seven year-old child, they will probably be afraid of puppets for the rest of their life, but aside from that fact, it told a tale of a variety show's cast members that was compelling and shocking. A bunny with syphillis, a coke dealing and show producing walrus, a very evil rat, a sadist fox, a smack-addicted knife-throwing frog, an over-weight and depressed hippo, and a fly who eats feces and writes down every bit of gossip are just a few characters in this weird saga. The best parts of this movie was when Harry the Hare threw up on the organ. If you watch this movie, put the kiddies to bed first because this is the muppets on crack.

Summary: Where bizarre and macabre meet childrens' programming
Review: On the surface, this is a puppet show. Imagine if you will the muppets AFTER a performance. Now imagine the Muppets cast as the dregs of society: the addicts, the perverse, the violent, and the criminal to name a few. Now you have a small inkling of what you are in store for when you sit down to a cozy fire-side viewing of Meet the Feebles. Peter Jackson takes a happy concept and upends it, defiles it, then renders it into pure genius. A recommendation to anyone who is sentient and able to see.

Heidi's love troubles A knife throwing 'Nam Vet frog, junk sick on every drug ever made. Bleech and Trevor buyng drugs from mobsters, Hare with a lethal STD, and the Fox director who wants to play his special song. thre last 3o minutes are the best part, the show falls apart and harry thries to perform, Heidi goes postal and the Fox finally sings his "special" song. The fox's song is the peice de resistance of the whole show, it is ablosutely without class. END

Summary: Disturbing. Sick. Hard to watch. Funny.
Review: I have never seen a movie like this before. It was difficult to watch, but you couldn't help yourself, kind of like watching a car accident. It was pretty funny seeing cutesy animal puppets engaged in all sorts of immoral depravity. Especially disturbing was the fly journalist who delighted in exposing Harry the Hare's contraction of AIDS. It wasn't agreat movie but it's one you just have to see because it's so bizarre.

Summary: Not Peter Jackson's best work
Review: Having seen _Bad Taste_ and _Dead Alive_, I have to say this is the lesser of the three. While _Meet the Feebles_ has some high points, for me it just doesn't work as well as it could of. First off, most people talk about this film as if it is one of the most shocking films ever made. It isn't, and it isn't even close. If you want shocking, buy a copy of Pasolini's Salo, or even _Dead Alive_, which will leave you speechless. From the other reviews, you can tell what _Meet the Feebles_ is about. A group of puppets work on a popular show called the Feebles Variety Hour. Backstage, they engage in disgusting and all too human habits. Drug abuse, pornography, murder, etc. are all shown in pretty vivid detail. But it just isn't that big of a deal. We have all seen this behavior depicted before. And substituting puppets for people doesn't make it any more shocking. There are good things to be said about the film. The puppet work is absolutely fantastic. It must have taken forever to shoot these scenes. They come across as nearly perfect. Some of the characters are better then others. Watch for the dope-addled frog and his flashback to Vietnam. It is the best part of the film, and it is no wonder they once called this film _Frogs of War_. This scene alone is worth the price of the film. Overall, only serious Jackson fans should pony up the funds to acquire this film. Others should rent or stay away.

Summary: Not for people who think puppets don't have off days
Review: It is said that actors are all slightly dysfunctional, and evidently Peter Jackson ran with this idea by making the Feebles more than that. Puppets with fetishes, puppets are drugs, puppets with a lot of baggage -- this is all pretty weird. The Vietnam War flashback is worth the price alone. There is also clever Godfather-esque editing between a massacre backstage and the performance of a nightmare song the Mel Brooks movie The Producers would have done if it were for mature audiences. Maybe one scene in this film inspired Trainspotting. Try it but beware. Not for children or those who want to have happy thoughts of puppets a la Fraggle Rock.
