The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!

Drawn Together was full-throttle crudity and crassness, and this concluding movie makes for a satisfying ending. Although very much made on the cheap, with many segments of filler, the movie stays on par with the series, not adding much more or taking much away.

I laughed. In fact, I laughed quite a bit. It makes a nice little argument that "gross for gross' sake" is alright, and takes its time to critique South Park, the show that took its time slot. For the makers of Drawn Together, it seems absurd that a show can only be crude if its making some sort of commentary, crudeness by itself can be just as funny and not so pretentious as South Park. Many of those laughs were "bad laughs", the kind where you feel ashamed afterward. I find those good for my health now and then.

Technically, the movie lacks some of the hand-drawn aesthetic of the show, but the bar wasn't too high to begin with. This was never a serious show, great for when you just wanted to switch your brain off for a half-hour, and the movie provided the same dumb humor, and after three seasons I came to expect occasional lapses in the writing quality. Worth a look for a fan of the show.

Drawn Together the show is just nonstop twisted fun. This movie however, loses that fun carefree spirit of the show and is pretty much bitter and kind of a buzzkill. The characters have also suffered, they are not used to their fullest potential and are reduced to one note jokes. For example, even though Captain Hero is a necro in the original show, he also has other weird hobbies and crazy characteristics. Here, he just mushes up on a dead chick the whole time. And ironically, this movie is kinda preachy, something the original show has almost never been. Now there are some laughs to be had and a few good jokes, but overall it's just a disappointment and kinda bland from a show where anything goes.

Drawn Together was a raunchy TV comedy where under constant surveillance a team of broadly defined cartoon archetypes were sequestered and forced to compete in competitions reminiscent of then-popular reality TV shows such as The Surreal Life, Fear Factor, Big Brother, and Survivor. It sounds like a term it dates itself immediately, but learning that this show limped along for three seasons and a direct-to-DVD film is a bit of a surprise. Together with a metafictional plot which relies heavily on lazily-written "shock comedy," shockingly cheap-looking animation, and a general atmosphere of sour grapes, the movie tries to tie the Drawn series.Nevertheless, The Drawn Together Film: The Movie, for all its blustering about crude jokes and "politically incorrect" fratboy comedy! It's almost implacably dull; it's likely the cardinal sin of any creative project that seems to pride itself on being tasteless.

The movie was a big FU to comedy central.

This show put South park to shame.

The point of the movie was how south park seems to get away with gross humor so long as they make a point.

Similar to how south park criticizes Family guy for using cutaways.

Drawn together criticizes south parks on it's manic pursuit of current events and politics.

While most people seem to hate on Simpsons and FG primarily because the shows are popular, south park is often given a free pass even though it's quality has gone down in years.

While not surpassing the original show, the movie was pretty decent. Dave Jesser and Matt Silverstein are great comedic writers and still managed to put together a solid reminder of what Drawn Together once was. There were still plenty of good jokes written from each characters perspective. The animation was almost where it was during the television series. Xander in general as a character seemed to be a bit off, i don't know what the deal was there. I hope this is a beginning to the show getting a re-hash for at least one season. I had also hoped there would be more 10 per center jokes (jokes that only 10% of the people off the street who watch the show understand) but maybe this was them trying to branch out and get a larger audience to possibly rent or buy the film.

All and all I give this film a 7/10. It's not for everyone and never will be... but if you have a sense of a humor and aren't afraid to laugh at what many would consider morally repulsive then you will think watching this was worth your time.

If anything, you'll be impressed by Hero's new fine-ass lady friend.
