Summary: hilarious and gross--a nice combo
Review: This movie was extremely funny, and well it does have its fair share of gore, it is played mainly for laughs. A teen slacker's hand is possessed and he unknowingly becomes a killer. Devon Sawa and his hand do a nice job, and Seth Green is hilarious as usual.

And remember, do not eat burritos if your head is not firmly attatched to your body.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: RIPOFF
Review: This movie is a total ripoff of Evil Dead 2. This isn't even sick or disturbing, it actually pretty tame and really not funny.

The acting is downright horrible, but I guess its supposed to be for the comedy. See Evil Dead 2, thats a horror comedy, or if you think you can handle it, Dead Alive (unrated version). They are much better and ten times funnier than this bubble gum.

This movie gets two stars because the scene where the EVIL DEAD 2 WANNABE hand was slinging the cat around was hilarious.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool Movie
Review: This movie was much better than I expected. It was really funny, and Seth Green is hilarious. But I can't believe its overlooked that The Offspring appear in this movie. They cover I wanna be Sedated and play their song, "Beheaded" (I am an Offspring fan). This movie is good, I recomend it if you like comedy and horror.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jeez People, it's Only a Movie!
Review: Ok, I was not expecting this one. I was ready for the standard horror flick when all of a sudden, I found myself laughing so hard I was CRYING! This movie was so funny, but the key to seeing the humour is that you remember that it's fictional. This really would not be happening. It is so out there that you only need to sit back and ask, "Yeah, but what if...?" I guess that's the beauty of Hollywood. So what if they were smoking pot. It increases the hilarity of the film ten-fold. Stupid can be funny, but most of the characters in this movie were not stupid. They were smart kids, just bored. I feel that this movie is an exaggerated view of American society today. It just makes is all seem pretty hilarious. There were times when I wondered how the actors could keep a straight face with some of the stuff they said, like, "...that is just too much Tanya to go through...". I don't think I will ever forget that one. I thought I was going to stop breathing I was laughing so hard. Lighten up and enjoy...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Horror/Comedy Flick
Review: This movie was nothing short of great. It was one of the funniest and most entertaining movies ever. Almost every scene had great horror and/or comedy action in it. There were also some gross qualities, like the cat w/ the eye and the 2 ears, but that makes it all the better. With brief nudity, great comedy, mediocre,yet funny horror, this is a person with a great sense of humor and good movie taste's dream. It is great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An original horror/comedy
Review: I knew I wanted to see "Idle Hands" when I first saw the previews last year. I finally saw it on TV and it wasn't like I thought it would be. I thought it was just gonna be a comedy movie, but it combines horror and comedy. A pot smoker's hand gets possessed to where he can't control it. He gets tired of killing everybody he sees, so he cuts it off and it gets loose on the streets. They have to find it and kill it any way they can.

I recommend anybody who likes comedy or horror movies to watch "Idle Hands." It has good acting and it does have a few funny parts such as when he throws the cat out of the window. There's only one thing I didn't understand about the movie. Why did Anton's 2 pot smoking friends come back alive and the other people didn't? Overall, this is a good movie and it's original.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Yes, it's as bad as you've heard
Review: How very strange...usually I'm the one giving great reviews for the things everyone else hates, but here...

The premise has some potential: A boy's hand is possessed and no longer obeys him. And the movie has much fun with that, and I'm sure Devon Sawa had a lot of fun with his hand. But the movie is really unimpressive. You have to wonder how much pot the *writer* was actually on, because that's pretty much what the movie revolves around: smoking lots of pot.

As in most movies, the requisite girl (played here by Jessica Alba) has nothing better to do but to be a sexual object, and be in danger. She is apparently a "songwriter/musician" but that's just thrown in there for the hell of it and has no purpose whatsoever. In fact, none of the female characters here are at all developed. The "evil-fighter" just randomly appears. The other girl has no point but to die. The movie is mindlessly gory.

I award the movie two stars for having a message against laziness (which is overtly stated by Sawa), having Seth Green, and being fun at some points.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Movie Lover from NV
Review: I thought this movie was freakin' hilarious! I stayed up unitl one in the morning (despite the fact that I had to go to work that morning) just so I could see how it all ended up. I laughed so hard I cried! I think you have to have a pretty sick sense of humor to appreciate this movie...I wouldn't recommend it for the comically challenged.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: JUST LOVED THIS MOVIE
Review: This movie was great, i was expecting it to be like a horror flim but it's funny and great! Seth is hot as always! :) I liked it all except for the car scene but i'm sure the guys would love it! I highly recomend this video if you are looking for comedy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not worthy of being called a horror movie.
Review: This movie was sooo stupid, and filled with all-around crappy acting. (with the exception of Seth Green) As for comedy, the fact that 3 kids sitting around smoking pot for a good deal of the movie is supposed to be funny kinda scares me. Don't bother watching this one.
