Straight Outta Benoni

This is the worst movie I have ever seen. I tried to laugh at the jokes, but it took a lot of effort.

It's just not funny. What is funny to me is that people can give this movie 10 out of 10.

There is nothing good about this movie. I must say that the marketing for the movie is actually good. I think the producer spent most of his budget on marketing.

Anyway, I just want to let people know how bad this movie is. Don't waste money to go and see this. It is really not worth the time and money.

The only way that anyone enjoyed this movie, or found it remotely amusing, was by being so drugged out of their mind that they were actually laughing at the stage curtains moving in the breeze.

Bad, bad, bad, in Malories immortal words! Damn right that the only place money got spent was on the marketing - it was the only way they could get people into the movie house.

This entirely justifies the pirating of movies - it's actually criminal to expect people to pay to be exposed to this drivel! Do not rent this movie - rather convince your worst enemy to do so, in fact steal a copy and post it to him.

This happens to be the only South African movie containing really clever and witty type of humor (unlike moronic Leon Shuster movies) - comic timing is perfect :-) Also, us South Africans are sick and tired of seeing blood, crime, and anything AIDS related - this has been shoved down our throats all the time, on the news, in the print media as well as with other SA movies. Straight outta Benoni is a real breath of fresh air!

You have to be south African to truly appreciate it. There is also a need for your brain cells to make contact at least once in a while - viewers who dislike the movie are simply too dumb to get it. WELL DONE BOYS :-) WE WANT MORE

I completely agree with this film not being "gotten" by everyone. Although I don't know how.

It's a total piece of anti-cool coolness. And the Napoleon Dynamite example is spot-on.

I've actually seen it twice and got more jokes the second time. Once again, I can see how some of the jokes are going to go over the head of the less attentive audiences. Also, some of the jokes are not as straightforward as their MTV sketches. But it still maintains all the deadpan delivery style and Crazy Monkey pacing.

The film moves around nicely, so there's always something to keep your attention. And you're never sure what's going to pop out of the heads of these small-town 'heroes'.

It's fun and tight, and gosh – even has a bit of heart to it.

This film blew me away - it is cutting edge stuff. This was out there like Wayne's World or Napoleon Dyanamite or any of these new age cult movies. I can't believe South Africans made this movie. We are really coming of age. Our local cinema is going to fly if this is the kind of film that is being made at present. Yes, not all of it was brilliant, and some of the characters were quite over the top, but overall it was absolutely amazing. It was also too funny for words. Brendan Jack is South Africa's Jack Black. They even have some such similar names. It must be a sign. This is one fantastic piece of work - I am sure these Crazy Monkey guys are going to go from strength to strength. I hope they continue doing their stuff.
