Jagd auf das Chamäleon

I watched "The Pest" at a friend's sleepover and let me tell you,it was excruciatingly painful to get through the first half-an-hour.Thankfully I was tired and fell asleep through most of it. I found this movie to be disgusting,crude,obnoxious,idiotic and I wanted to gauge my eyes out. It surprised me that John Leguizamo...A man capable of better roles and a good actor...would degrade himself so much by playing the part of The Pest.

Pest is right...This movie is a pest and it should definitely be terminated.....0.00001/10

I love this movie it is my second favourite comedy movie of all time. This movie is definitely not for film snobs who would probably deny the brilliance of this film even though it follows in the comedic direction of the pink panther films. Please please see it! *****

I rented this movie,,,I felt like hanging myself with the tape,but I was sure it would have been crap to,and it would have broke.This was one of the WORST movies I have ever seen,Its in my top 10 of worst movies ever.Sad to say I have seen better movies late night on HBO,You know the ones with the storyline which goes: Dancer must chace down inner city thugs,who have captured her friend who was involved in selling drugs.Those are usually the worst movies ever,but The Pest goes far beyond,,It is perhaps the most annoying movie ever made,,Sadly in 25 years it will probely be looked at as a campy,"they meant to make it bad" movie,and people will search it down and buy it up,and a special edition DVD will come out with the director saying "As I was making this film,I knew we were on to something,,John is a genious,a comedic ghandi",,There will be special deleted scense which they had "just found",which will be the worst pieces of celluloid ever shot,,What can I say ,,I mean HOW did it get as many stars as it did,,AHHHHH,,People are nuts

I found this movie Very enjoyable. I was laughing out loud and I really enjoyed the humor of it. If you are familiar with John Leguizamo's comedy and you are a fan of it this movie is a must see. It is a take on the novel "The Most Dangerous Game" and it focuses on the event's Pestario (Leguizamo) must overcome such as the fact the Scottish mob is after him, a crazy German nazi, Gustav, (Jeffrey Jones) is hunting him, and Gustav's homosexual son ,Himmel (Edoardo Ballerini), who is obsessed with "snakes", is obsessed with him too! This comedy moves fast yet is highly enjoyable!

"The Pest" has moments of mind-numbing stupidity (and at least five fart jokes too many). It's also offensive in its homophobic attitude, and its anti-German sentiments are so strong that you would think the script was written in 1940. But it still is a very easy film to watch, because it looks slick, it moves fast, and it has one hell of a driving music beat to it. It also has some hints of surrealism (the "dueling car stereos" scene), and does make you laugh a couple of times: not so much with Leguizamo's "impressions" (which are mostly awful), but at other, rather unexpected moments (the "Stop repeating what I'm saying! I mean it!" scene). I'd say it generally makes you laugh more often than many other comedies that have a higher reputation. (**1/2)
