Summary: Would you Look at Jessica Alba!
Review: Wow, this movie was incredibly terrible. "Idle Hands" are the devil's playground. Nobody cares. Anton (Devon Sawa) is a teenager who uses his inhaler as an 'instrument.' Not cool dude. His right hand then becomes possessed and starts to murder. His parents, family and almost his girlfriend (Jessica Alba). That hand deserved major punishment going after "Dark Angel" like that. Aside from the horrible plot, watch this movie because of how good Jessica Alba looks, nothing else.

Summary: An outrageous horror comedy and a Guilty Pleasure.
Review: I really liked this one, it tells the story of a Teenage boy who's left hand gets possessed by an evil Spirit then goes out of control with it and starts to kill.Very entertaining, totally gory with humor and an OK plot, this also has Seth Green and the beautiful Vincia J. Fox, this is not for the faint of heart but if you like the works of Peter Jackson, Lucio Fulci and Sam Raimi then this is for you. It's kind of like " Scream" meets " Re-Animator".

Summary: Great Teen Comic-Horror
Review: Rodman Flender's comic-horror movie is the story of teenage stoner Anton's ordeal when his right hand becomes posessed by an evil spirit and goes on a murderous rampage, killing anyone and everyone it encounters including his best friends Mick and Pnub. The posessed hand soon sets it's sights on Anton's crush Molly and Mick and Pnub come back from the grave to help their friend save the girl. The movie has a great cast with Devon Sawa (Final Destination) playing Anton, the show stealing Seth Green (TV's Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Rat Race & the Austin Powers movies) as Mick, Jessica Alba (TV's Dark Angel) as Molly as well as a great performance from Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day). To go with the gore and gross out laughs the film also has a kicking soundtrack featuring the likes of Rob Zombie, Static-X, Rancid and of course The Offspring, who make a cameo as the band at the school halloween dance with singer Dexter Holland having his scalp ripped off. The movie pays homage to several cult classics including Night Of The Living Dead, Re-Animator, An American Werewolf in London and the original Halloween (it was filmed in the same neighbourhood). The DVD features commentry tracks from both director Rodman Flender and Seth Green, the movie's original ending and a 'Making-Of' featurette.

Summary: A mindless classic.
Review: If you are looking for a movie with good acting, a great plot line, and a surprise or twist in the movie, you've come to the wrong one. However if you are looking for a funny sorta horror movie here you go. There are a number of big name actors like Sawa and Green so at least there is a level of established proffesionalism and they do a good job of their parts. The movie is centered around numerous drug and sex innuendos and therefor isn't suited for young children but as cheesy as it may be it clings to you and you end up watching it over and over again. For those of you that liked Bio-dome and Dude wheres my car you'll love this.

Summary: Tries to be "An American Werewolf in London," but fails
Review: The trailers for "Idle Hands" implied the film was a madcap horror comedy when, in reality, the filmmakers created something more along the lines of "An American Werewolf in London." Granted, they don't come near the high water mark of that film, or even the later "Fright Night" or "The Lost Boys," but "Idle Hands" has genuine moments of horror along with its comedy, although neither element is particularly memorable. From the icky premise to the icky undead friends acting as Greek chorus to the hot babe inexplicably drawn to the protagonist to the dark finale, "Idle Hands" bears the mark of the creators watching "American Werewolf" over and over and over again while creating this film. Of course, it's not as though "An American Werewolf in London" is difficult to find at your local video store. For those looking for those sorts of thrills, stick with the original, as well as "Fright Night" and "Lost Boys." "Idle Hands" is a recommended rental for fans of Seth Green or Jessica Alba, but other horror fans should give it a miss.

Summary: a disappointment
Review: After reading the positive reviews here I really expected to like this film -- actually wanted to like it, tried to like it. No dice. This was such a disappointment! I won't restate the plot since it's been done dozens of times already. What this film tries to carry off is a horror/comedy. It just flops. It's not scary enough to be horror and the comedy portion falls flat on it's face. Sorry folks, it's really NOT funny at all.
You know how people say all the funny parts of a movie are in the trailer? Well, that's a perfect description of this movie. It's really not funny at all. Rent it or find it on cable. If you really like it after you see it, then buy it. Don't waste your money otherwise. You'll be just as disappointed as I was.

Summary: Surprisingly Fun Teen Comedy
Review: Cool, watchable even by an old fart like me, and pretty funny, although with enough dull or questionable moments to keep it from being a classic. Still, many funny lines keep the movie alive. Worth watching.

Summary: Killer Fun, A killer Hand.. And Jessica!
Review: I just happen to catch this movie on Cable a couple years ago. And i couldn't help but like it. Yeah it's a goofy kinda story but it's great fun. I just recently bought the DVD. It's one of those movies i can just kick back and watch when ever i'm board. And there is a HUGE bonus in this Movie. The JEssica alba Factor! When i saw this the first time it was before "DArk Angel". So i had no idea who she was. All i knew was the girl that played Molly was one beautiful girl.(And boy does she look Hot in this movie!) Now she's one of the Hottest young stars in Hollywood. So if you want some killer fun and some jessica alba. You should definatly check this movie out.

Summary: Okay horror spoof ala Scream
Review: Idle hands is hopefully at the end of a cycle of horror flixs that was started in 1996 by Scream, a satire of the slasher pictures of the 70s. Like all cycles in the movie business, this one has been brought down by the weight of too many cheap and derivative knockoffs When this happens, it finally doesn't matter if a movie in the category is good or not. People don't buy it. Ironically, the next big cycle was kicked off this summer by another, albeit more sophisticated and serious, horror genre - the psychological horror / ghost story [The Blair Witch Project, The Sixth Sense]. Idle Hands is further handicapped by being neither one of the best nor one of the worst of the "scream" cycle. It starts off well enough. The time is Halloween. What other time is there? Young Anton's parents retire to bed. After the lights go out, they see an ominous message written on the ceiling. All hell breaks loose, and this sequence unspools like a twisted situation comedy. The next morning, Anton [Devon Sewa] wakes up, oblivious to the fact that his parents have gone missing. But then the teenager is oblivious to almost everything except drugs, sex and rock and roll, as are his two best friends, Mick and Pnub [Seth Green and Elden Ratliff]. As the day progress, it becomes apparent that one of Anton's hands has taken on a mind of its own. It has become homicidal. Most of the funniest moments in the movie show the boy and his deranged hand fighting for control. Devon Sewa, like Jim Carrey, is a very physical actor. Idle Hands is a homage to many old movies. The uncontrollable hand reminds me of a Peter Sellers character, Dr. Stranglove, in the movie of the same name. The opening pays tribute to Halloween, while the dance scene is straight out of Carrie. Anton's ghostly friends are just like the ones in An American Werewolf in London. One problem is that Idle Hands is nowhere near as good as the movies it salutes. The bigger problem is that every character is self-centered and stupid. The writer and the director do not understand that, even when a movie is a horror satire, if the audience cannot relate to any character, interest quickly wanes. One morning Anton discovers his parents have been whacked, and, by that night, he's trying to make it with the girl next door. You can laugh at this idiot, but do you really care about him? This is not to say that there are no clever scenes in the movie. It is to say that the audience's involvement remains superficial. It's one of those pictures that leaves no impact and is forgotten by the next day.
