Summary: Christopher Hart's Hand Is Awesome
Review: I rented this movie because Playboy Playmate Kelly Monaco has a featured role. Idle Hands is an entertaining, funny, and delightful movie nevertheless. Christopher Hart of Addams Family fame ("Thing"), and other roles requiring his enmorously long fingers, plays Devon's severed hand. At one point, Hart's hand enters a car window as Kelly and her boyfriend are making out. This scene is quite hot and Charistopher Hart's lone hand gets in on the fun. His large hand and long fingers really give Kelly's rack a workout!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Playboy Playmate Kelly Monaco Is Awesome
Review: The only reason I rented Idle Hands was because I read that Playboy Playmate Kelly Monaco was featured in the movie. Actually, Idle Hands was entertaining, funny, and interesting. As for Kelly Monaco . . . well, she was NOT a disappointment! She has a highlight scene where she is making out in the car with her boyfriend.... This was a great scene....

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Ultimate Guilty Pleasure, Full of Scares and Smiles.
Review: "Idle Hands" is an Infinitely Enjoyable film. It tries to make it's audience Laugh more than Scream, and it Achieves it's Goal.

Devon Sewa stars as Anton Tobias, a High School Slacker who's Hand seems to be Possessed. Along with his Equally Lazy Friends (turned Un-dead Lazy Friends) Mick (Seth Green) and Pnub (Eldon Henson), and his Girlfriend Molly (Jessica Alba), Anton sets out to stop his Evil hand from Killing Everyone he Knows.

Sewa does a Great job Carrying the film, He can jump from Slapstick to Serious in a Second, he gives his Hand a Character of his own, and he has Definite Leading man Potential. Alba is the most Talented Screen Goddess to emerge since Salma Heyek in "Desperado", plus (like Salma) she is Funny, Smart and Believable. Green and Henson play the Comic Relief roles well, but the Material occasionally leaves them high and dry with nothing Clever to say. But on a Whole, they are two Funny guys.

The Bizarre Storyline provides Ample Shocks and Sniggers, but it Never really strives for Outright Horror or Comedy, it aims for the Middle ground and it claims it well. Critics have attacked the film for it's Gross out Violence and Dim-witted humour... But isn't that what the Audiences want.

"Idle Hands" may not have been a Critical or Commercial Success, but, in time, it will develop into a Cult Success.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ha ha I loved this movie!
Review: Everyone hates this movie, but I am seriously entertained everytime I watch it. The music is good and the females are hot, what more can you ask for? I think a lot of critics need to start seperating genres of movies and stop comparing the 4th Friday the 13th movie to the Godfather Pt. 2. Some movies you just can't take too seriously. This is one of them. Just relax and you too will enjoy this movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: what's the idea behind?
Review: what's the idea behind it, I spent the whole evening thinking of what they want us to see, it's violent movie, full of killing scenes. I saw horror movies before let's take an example (Blair Witch) this is something for real you feel your body shake like a blinder and you spend the whole night wake. this movie is not like this, they want to say that ideal hands are devils playground !!! or they just want us think that smoking drugs will cause you to do bad things, actually I do not recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than ever
Review: I think this is a really funny movie. Like Ghostbusters with comedy and horror. And Jessica Alba is the most beautiful woman ever. It has really great acting.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Idle laughs...
Review: Yer another comedy flop. The film promises, but never quite delivers. Sure it's corny, hammy and dumb and for a while it's funny, but towards the end it just becomes stupid. These teen comedies don't really appeal to me, but the small horror content of this film saves it from being boring. It just could have been much funnier.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great way to waste 90 minutes
Review: This is one seriously funny film, the gore may put some people off, but serves to enhance the obsurdity of the story line. The acting was compotent and the seriousness with which the cast played their parts only made the film funnier. If you are the kind of person who'd laugh if you grannys ar$e was on fire you will love this film. Idle Hands should be viewed as a comedy with a 'horror element' as it is way too farcical to succeed as a horror film. It was so good I rewound the tape and watched it again immediately. If you don't find this funny you are either dead from the neck up or need to seriously rethink your criteria for selecting movies. If you watch this film expecting The Exorcist with a few laughs thrown in you will be thoroughly disapointed, but it was never made with the intention of being 'real' horror film or a cinematic classic. The film must be judged for what it is rather than what you want it to be. Judged in this light it is a well filmed, compotently acted (within it's genre) and monumentaly if morbidly funny film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Take it for what it's meant to be
Review: This is obviously not meant to win an oscar, and if you start with that attitude, it may help. I enjoyed this movie very much, except for the drug promotion. Seth Green as usual is a master, dont be suprised to see him nominated for an Oscar for real, SOMEDAY. For us males, Jessica Alba will steal your heart throughout this movie, and her rear end puts Jennifer Lopez to shame. Your teen age kids will all like this, mine did. And I laughed right with them. Take it for what its worth and meant to be, and you may find yourself in stitches if you are not careful.
