Summary: What A Kewl Find!
Review: I Didnt Even Know This Movie Existed Till I Caught It One Night On A Premium Cable Channel And Wow! If You Loved "Trick Or Treat" Or "Black Roses" Than You'll *LOVE* Idle Hands! Is It Scary? No Not Really Its More Funny Than Anything. And The Soundtrack Rocks In This Movie As Well. I Think The Naysayers Who Put This Movie Down Just Do NOT Get The Idea That Some Movies Are Meant To Be Humorous And Not A Fright Fest. If You Like "Scary Movie" You'll Like This. And If You Think Devon And Seth Are Super Hot You'll Love This Too!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious horror flick.
Review: "Idle Hands" has got to be one of the best horror/comedies ever. I absolutely love this film, it is filled with so much horror and comedy that you can't really put it into just one genre. "Idle Hands" is basically about pot-head Anton (Devon Sawa)whose right hand gets possessed by the devil and takes him on a wild (and hilarious) killing spree. The plot is simple, but the actors are what bring the film to life. Seth Green, Devon Sawa, and Elden Henson make the perfect trio of burn-outs and are absolutely hysterical. Jack Noseworthy is also good as the Motley-Crue-loving-motor-jock. The film is excellent, but what really brings this DVD to life are the features. We get a commentary by Rodman Flender, Seth Green, and Elden Henson, which is very informative and fun to listen to. You learn a lot of facts from the commentary; like how Seth and Elden won the role of Mick and Pnub, how Devon Sawa used a real butcher-knife for the hand-chopping sequence, Rodman poitning out numerous goofs and cameos by The Offspring, Ricky Martin, and a member of Blink-182, and many other little facts. The deleted scene is actually an alternate ending, which is totally different than the theatrical ending, and there is an introduction with Rodman Flender explaining why they cut it. Even though this ending is good, I still prefer the theatrical ending. Then we get some interesting storyboard-comparisons of two scenes, which are fun to watch if you really like the film. The production notes and talent files are okay, nothing special, and the making of featurette is good, you'll also learn some interesting facts and see how they did some of the effects. Then we finish with the trailers for "Idle Hands" and "Can't hardly wait". The trailer is good, it features a few glimpses of some cut scenes, see if you can catch em'.

"Idle Hands" is a superbly crafted film that unfortunately bombed at the box-office (though I don't see why it bombed) and in a few years will probably become a cult-classic. "Idle Hands" is a solid buy, the special features are great and so is the price.

Summary: Gross, crude horror/comedy that Hollywood should burn
Review: "Idle Hands" is a horror/comedy that is too gross to be horrific and too crude to be a dark comedy. But it has a good cast that tries it's very best to make use of a mediocre script, but Vivica A. Fox has the best character in all of the movie.

Devon Sawa, who was great in "Final Destination" and the hilarious "Wild America," is at his worst acting role in the '90s (and hopefully his LAST) at playing a teenage stoner who wakes up Halloween Eve to find his right hand possessed by a demonic force and enlists fellow stoner (Seth Green, Oz in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") to get rid of his demonic hand, resulting in outrageously gory and crude results, leading to an annoying climax.

"Idle Hands" is one of those rare horror/comedies that is uneven, crude, exploits premarital sex from "Friday the 13th", too gory and predictable for genuine shocks, and that Hollywood should burn. If people think this is funny or horrific, count on an incredibly disappointing film like this. If you want to see an effective horror/comedy, rent "An American Werewolf In London."

Rated R for crude and sexual humor, disturbing violence and gore, nudity, and for language.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Best Parts
Review: The best parts of the movie were when the band played. The Offspring was the band who played in the dance scene and I think that was the best part.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny Movie with a Great Cast
Review: If you though Scary Movie was funny this movie ranks up there with it. Not only does it have Seth Green who is funny and Devin Sawa it has the hot Jessica Alba yes Dark Angel. The concept is great and there are a lot of funny lines and parts but they cant be talked about. So go see the movie, you wont regret seeing it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: An IncrediblyFunny Movie
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, it might be because I'm a teen and this was a teen movie, so I can understand why some people don't enjoy it. I personaly only rented it to watch Seth Green, who is an wonderfully talented actor. I liked it so much though-not just because of Seth- because it was so funny and creative that I bought it! The DVD has great behind the scenes and that kind of stuff, it's really cool! Watch this movie, you'll like it, well if you're a teenager, that is, but I'm not saying adults won't like it either. It is rated R though for brief nudity, horror/gore/violence, language, and a brief make-out scene,and strong teen drug use, so you might want to think about letting younger kids watch it. All in all though, it's a pretty good flick!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Horrifically Hilarious
Review: This is one of those movies, at least to me, that even though it is simple and often times crude I just don't get tired of it. It really isn't a horror film but then it's not a comedy either as most of the humor, weed jokes aside, revolve around bad horror puns. The plot revolves around Anton, a completely worthless character, who basically does nothing but watch television and smoke weed all day. His friends are almost as bad but seem slightly more motivated than our dear friend Anton. Unknowingly to Ant, his hand has become possessed by evil since it has been idle, hence the title. He has already killed a boat load of people, including his own parents, before the discovery is made that his hand is evil. Present at the time of this discovery are his two friends who are quickly killed and then later buried only to rise up from the ground as Anton's undead friends. Oh, did I mention that the beautiful but slightly disturbed Molly (Jessica Alba) lives by Ant. Well she does and Ant, aside from the fact he is a total waste of space, actually hooks up with her, even with his evil hand. So Ant continues to kill and eventually lops of his hand with a butcher knife, only then to release the limb upon the world without the restrictions of a body. So he and his friends go in search of the hand, as the evil slayer (Vivica A. Fox) is also in search of it as she has been the entire movie in small little fragments of screen time. Everyone (Ant, 2 undead friends, Molly, demon slayer etc.) arrives at a school dance where Ant, after nearly being killed by the evil slayer, learns that he made a mistake in cutting off his hand as now it can more easily fulfill its purpose, which involves killing Molly at midnight. And no suprises here...it ends as you would expect it to end. Idle Hands compares miserably to the brilliant hand possession work done by Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead 2 but that has nothing to do with anything. It has ample amounts of gore, actors that make the script enjoyable (esp. the undead friends), and is something that you'll like if you enjoy horror and have that "off" sense of humor.

Rating: 1 stars
