This has to be one of the worst, most pointless and idiotic films EVER CREATED. It offers zero insight into "Suburbia" by examining a tiny microcosm of brain dead slackers and passes it on as the norm. Well it is far from it. I have lived all over the US and in other countries and I can tell you with 100% assurance NO ONE exists as they do in this wretched film. The people in this movie, stoners and slackers, are just that. Worthless, pathetic and wastes of space. They don't carry on intellectual conversations, they don't ponder the meaning of life, they don't CARE about anything. That is why they are stoners and slackers. They are useless, worthless pathetic excuses for human beings that will never be anything better.

The kids in this movie spend all their time sharing their thoughts on life with innane monologues and trite and meaningless dialogues with each other. It's pretty sad that the writer/director just assumed he could make a movie he knows nothing about which in this case would be modern day suburban kids.

This movie is not interesting, it is not compelling, it is not moving, it is not thought provoking. I felt nothing for any of the characters and was not enlightened in the slightest about what they thought or supposedly felt.

To top it all off, Steve Zahn was a major character in this movie. I don't know about the rest of civilization, but I have a strong distaste for this man. He is annoying and one-dimensional, always playing the mornoic buffoon in every role. He falls just short of being the most annoying movie character in the history of the screen. The overall acting in this film is not terribly bad, but did you ever think why no one even got a thought of an Academy award?

All in all, this movie is a complete joke and highly unfulfilling. It is not a comedy by any means, although a soft chuckle may arise now and then if only from Steve Zahns laughable attempt at acting. I guess you can call it a drama, since everyone seems so dramatic, just like slackers in stoners in real life. Always having intellectual conversations and pondering life. NOT. Terrible, terrible movie. I give it a -100.

ah, evil dead, the first movie of the series (followed by Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn and Army of Darkness).

It's hard to tell if the actually meant this movie to be stupidly funny or if it was a serious attempt. Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness are blatant comedies and work better than this film, but I think everyone should see this one. (It would be better to see this movie before the others.)

There are some very disturbing scenes like "the pencil scene" and "the tree scene" and the part where Ash chops up his girlfriend with a chainsaw. The acting is absurd, but funny. The funniest character is Scotty. He is the macho-tough guy with a few really good one liners. (He actually says "I'm gonna break your face" to a girl they are staying with. HAHA).

I don't know how cheesey they wanted to make this but as an example, on the exterior scenes you can see the floodlights they put up, in front of the house, in the middle of the woods. They're in plain sight, they didn't even attempt to disguise them. haha. And also, pay attention to the moon. It is hillarious super-imposed in a rectangle in the corner of the screen.

This movie is pretty original and has some tense moments. It could scare some, but I have nerves of steel and was not startled by anything in this film.

I highly recommend watching Evild Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. They are supposed to run together, but the endings don't match up all to well. It's like Raimi decided to change his mind while writing the scripts. Evil Dead 2 is essentially a better remake of Evil Dead with some really funny scenes and over the top gore.

I thought this movie was made during the late sixties where hallucinagenic drugs were readily available. When I found out it was made in 1945, it makes me wonder how anyone ever thought of this sober.

This "movie" is just one long music video. MTV wishes it could be this creative. Donald Duck visits different parts of Mexico and Brazil, sometimes flying on a magic carpet, sometimes riding trains through pop-up books and other weird things.

The final 10-15 is an experience. The movie just totally freaks out. It's a kalaedeskope of colors, a psychedellic experience before there were psychedelic experiences.

This movie may be a little tedious to watch but the decent songs and the sometimes funny characters should be able to pull you through.
