Meet the Feebles

Rating:
Summary: A horrid tragedy of a movie
Review: This movie is in the worst taste I have ever seen. You should buy it just so you can see how truly bad a movie can be. It will offend absolutely anyone. I've seen this video twice. The first time, I swore I'd never see it again. The second time I remembered why.

Summary: Great film, but not for children.
Review: I would recommend this movie, for maybe ages 12+. I found it hilarious, fully of sleazy humour and explicitly graphic violence. A must see!

Summary: This movie rules
Review: It's safe to say that you've never seen anything like "Meet the Feebles". This is a charming, delightful movie, fit for the entire family. It features a theater troupe of puppets, struggling to make it into the big time, with lots of laughs as they confront the hilarious obstacles that come their way. Romance, drama, and irresistable humor for all ages. It features a diverse cast of puppets, rivaling the character spectrum of "The Muppet Show". Touch someone's life by giving them "Meet the Feebles" as a gift. This is the perfect movie for entertaining children with low attention spans, or for donating to the day-care center in your church.

Summary: TRANSCENDENTALLY DEPRAVED. CRIPPLINGLY FUNNY. INSANE GENIUS.
Review: This movie is in a class by itself, elevating black humor to another plane entirely with its subversion of the cute, fondly-remembered TV puppets of our childhood into a hysterically disturbed, sordid, wretched, warped, sex-and-drugs vision of show-biz puppethood. Peter Jackson might well be a miscegenation of Jim Henson and Hunter S. Thompson. Miscegenation itself is even a theme in this movie, which sports the grotesque offspring of an elephant and a chicken in one scene, and interspecies B&D sex between a cow and a cockroach (being filmed by a rat pornographer) in another. Boundaries of taste you weren't even aware of are crossed with evil glee. It was physically exhausting to watch this movie, which made me laugh almost to the point of asphyxiation.

Summary: DELICATLY CHARMING WITH A ROBUST SENSE OF INSANITY
Review: During the movie I lost track of the fact that the Feebles were not people. This shocked me because at any given point a creature could be killed in the most viciously insane manner I could ever hope for.

Summary: This video hurt me physically!
Review: In between laughing until my stomach ached and then gasping in shock at the material being covered by such an unlikely cast (puppets!) I couldn't help but feel exhausted after it was over. For me, this video is refreshingly UN-PC and a huge goose to the funny-bone. I have found that those who were outraged or merely offended by it are those same people who don't GET dark comedy or even Monty Python. I think there is a hospital chain that might help these poor, humorless individuals. For the rest of us, though, there is the genius of Peter Jackson! We will laugh until we cry, gasp in shock and disbelief, and then sigh with a grin and a giggle when it is over.

Summary: Not offensive, yet hard to digest in one sitting
Review: Worth seeing once. The first half seemed boring, mostly being used for character development, and then the second half was when the sh*t hit the fan! As a whole, It was a little difficult to understand. Not as funny as I expected either.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent concept, but somewhat slow
Review: I thought Jackson's movie had an extremely creative idea with Meet the Feebles but it gets long and drawn out in areas. Just as soon as it gets a tad boring though, Jackson throws something in to churn your stomach. Funny, creative, sick; what the hell go see it.

Summary: The Most Original Non-Kids puppet movie ever!
Review: Summary says it all

Summary: Very inventive and truly disgusting
Review: Well, at long last I've seen the film I've only heard talked about, Peter Jackson's "Meet the Feebles". A truly inventive and original film which also takes the honour of being the only film I've ever seen to make me physically ill. I made it all the way through the film, but as certain scenes flashed through my mind as the tape rewound I couldn't contain myself and I actually puked. Honestly. This film isn't for everyone, there's some serious filth mixed in with the inventiveness, but if you have to see it, it's worth the effort. I can't say I'll ever watch the film again, but it was worth seeing once. Which in and of itself is an interesting thing I find. There's only one other film I've ever seen that has elicited that "I think it's brilliant but I never want to see it again" response from me. The other film I speak of is "Kids" which I found completely intriguing and convincing, but so profoundly depressing and scary that I could never watch it again, but where as Kids is too powerfull for me to watch again, Feebles is too disgusting for me to watch again. Peter Jackson is currently working on "The Lord of the Rings" trillogy, so if you have a keen interest in film and LotR, I highly recomend going through his body of work, this is a man who loves the medium of film and is willing to take the big risks for the sake of his art. This is about the Ballsiest movie I've ever seen, and I admire it, even if it does make me feel sick ;)
