The fact that this is entertaining for a full hour and a half is astounding to me, and I'm pretty impressed that they pulled it off. Every ridiculous thing that happens in the show is funny enough, but with only 10 minutes to fill they can throw it away on anything. I highly recommend this movie, and with all the bonus features on this DVD it's definitely worth buying. If you love the show and have an attention span that will last for an hour and a half, this is the movie for you. I was actually lucky enough to see this in theaters (had to drive half an hour away), and the impact is slightly lessened seeing it at home, but nonetheless I still love it.
It definitely wasn't a waste of money. I absolutely love this movie. It is so unique and funny and stupid all at the same time lol I always think of how the heck someone came up with some of the things in the movie because they are so weird and funny.
If you're not a "completest" and just want to pick up some DVDs for casual (ie stoned) viewing, pick up the series first. The movie just kinda drags for me and I kept thinking that something huge and hilarious is about to happen, but it never really did.Worth watching, not really worth buying. I do like the DVD cover though. Don't get me wrong, I love me some ATHF, but I didn't think there was anything better in the movie than you can't find in the episodes. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I thought with a bigger budget and a longer running time, they could push the series to new heights, but it just seems like an overlong episode with a bad ration of hit or miss jokes.I guess that's what I like about the tv show - it's hit or miss, but it's only 10 minutes long and then you're on to the next.
Its like what South Park the movie is to South Park the show they just go together like peanut butter & jelly. I saw it twice in theaters and own it on dvd along side all the seasons. Number One In The Hood G. If you like the show you'll love the movie. Has every character from the show up till season 4.
However, another chockful disc with deleted scenes, specials, fake endings, a complete first draft movie (that's really what you saw in the final product minus their mouths moving [].) and a commentary of people who have no involvement with the film whatsoever (okay one guy, but he adds nothing too). Not that it stinks, it just is too strange to be an ATHF start-point. But truth be told, if you don't find the Adult Swim 00's animated humor of surrealism, awkward long pauses, and pop-culture references, plus never have seen the actual long-running show before, this film will NOT make you a fan.
First things first, the word "Colon" here represents the punctuation ":" rather than where they may have pulled this script out of. Not to be a spoiler, they DO find those questions out, in fact at least four to five different versions of it. Whew, try saying that title four times fast.
But much kudos should be given to it's parody-like "Let's go out to the movies and grab ourselves a treat" opening, probably the best part of the film, and no ATHF appearance there to boot. An interesting attempt at trying to make the cult show into a movie, but in the end like fast food, while it might taste great, it just isn't that good for you.(RedSabbath Rating:6.5/10). The further adventures of Cartoon Network's show of the same name basically is one extremely long episode of the exact same quality and look, even if they added a couple of new techniques here and there (and unsuccessfully I may add).
The boys Frylock, Master Shake, Meatwad and Dennis Franz looking neighbor Carl find a mysterious machine, the Insanoflex (think home workout type) and with it may find the true answer to just who created them and where did they come from.
