Les Feebles

This movie is crazy!. It's a puppet flick full of drugs, sex, guns and porn. As an early Peter "Lord of the Rings" Jackson flick it also features a bit of gore. The puppets don't just die, they get mushed.

I really liked it however I imagine some people would be repelled by it. Jackson himself said in his Oscars speech that it was 'wisely overlooked' by the Academy. He's the first to admit that this type of movie simply aint going to be to everyones taste!

However if your open minded and looking for something a little 'out there' then I would check it out.

8/10

The strangest mix of characters all working on a musical production. I feel like this was a big gamble to make considering how much effort it would have taken and time spent. There is some rough scenes throughout the film of degradation, humiliation, abuse and betrayal, drugs, sex, std's and you name it lol. The music itself is pretty cool with talented musicians. All in all it's a strange film with a unique vision.

Wow, what a fun-loving, brilliant, magical story for kids to enjoy, as well as adults. (hehe, OK, maybe not kids!) I liked this movie, since it took a typical kid show idea and morphed it into something straight outta hell. This difficult-at-times to watch movie will make the sick ones laugh, and I found myself laughing alot.

It takes place in this weird freaking world where everyone is a puppet, and the feebles run this muppet-type show. The concept is great. Basically, instead of happy, fun-loving puppets, we have puppets who still have that "crazy" aspect that puppets usually do have, but with evil (and good) human traits attached. What you get, mostly, is an odd "Hell" kind of world. (Kermit, you better have been good, or you'll end up here!)

Somewhere in my demented mind I have a great desire to show this messed up movie to a kid, and see how they react. But I won't, not yet... hehehehe! >:)

Great concept. Difficult to watch. Messed up movie. Great for druggies. Not exactly for the kids...

Heidi, the star of the "Meet The Feebles Variety Hour" discovers her lover Bletch, the Walrus, is cheating on her, and with all the world waiting for the show the assorted co-stars must contend with their own problems. These include drug addiction, extortion, robbery, disease, drug dealing, and even murder.

I remember seeing this many years ago, before Jackson was given the "Lord of the Rings" movies. I knew him for "Bad Taste" and "Dead Alive", so this was not a particularly shocking movie. Strange, yes, and probably offensive, but not really out of bounds from what he had done before. (This made his connection to the "Rings" films even more strange... he seemed an unlikely choice.) If you happen to be sensitive or easily offended, avoid this one. But if you like edgy, offbeat films, you really must check it out. What Jackson constructed here is on par with any cult film from John Waters.

Hollywood executives must have lobotomized Peter Jackson when he started the "Lord of the Rings" franchise, because his earlier New Zealand productions were so much better.

Just look at this sickly cracking showbiz satire, complete with an array of mostly disgusting Muppets from hell, acting as a walking compendium of the seven deadly sins (and some more). The sheer audaciousness of this nightmare folly is to be applauded, but the astounding fact remains that behind all the cold misanthropic viewpoints on display there's still a beating heart pumping warm blood into this creatures.

Certainly not to everyone's taste and riddled with too many drawn-out plot excesses, this one-of-a-kind pic still deserves a huge cult following.
