Mr. Accident

I just saw this on television and I am happy to announce that I can finally answer my nephew's question as to what is the worst film I have ever seen, at least in the comedy category. To describe this film as elementary school level would be to insult elementary school students, who I think could create something far better. Yahoo Serious has apparently gone on a well deserved march into oblivion.

I know everyone said this movie was utter crap and I agree with them. I spent a few years after seeing it telling other people it was crap. I recommended they not see it. But when it came on TV, we saw the ad. I turned to family and said: "I know this is sad, but I'm thinking of watching it". My sister turned to me and said: "Yeah, me too." And you know what? It was funny.

By no means is this a good movie. It's absolutely a waste of time. But it's a good waste of time. You may still think it's crap and fair enough, but I thought it was a really funny slapstick comedy. I didn't like a couple of bits, like when the fish got hit by the car, but apart from that I thought it was good. I loved sitting there and picking out all the famous Australian faces: Flacco, Elle McFeast, Garry McDonald etc.

So, if you like to waste your time, watch this movie. Otherwise, see a drama or something.

This is actually one of my favorite movies of all time.

I don't see why everyone thinks this movie is so bad. This is the cutest movie I've ever seen. You might think I don't know anything about movies, but I do. I've seen extremely bad movies [ Manos : the hands of fate, etc. ] as well as movies that are considered genius [ such as 2001 : space odyssey and Clockwork orange ]. I'm not going to try to convince anyone that it's a good and smart movie, because it's not. It's not a smart movie, and it's not supposed to be. And guess what? That's what's so good about it.

It's a childish, surreal and cartoonish movies with colorful characters. I've seen other cartoon-like movies in my life, but I've never seen anything like this one. Just like the other Yahoo Serious movies, this is meant to be silly. If you rent this movie with the idea in your head that it has to be intellectual, you'll be extremely deceived. But if you like cartoons and if you like pure silly-ness, you'll like this. Personally I thought the characters were very attaching and the story very charming and cute. I can see why someone would think it's stupid, but at the same time you can't expect this movie to be different.

Of course, this isn't the type of movie that everyone will enjoy, but I think it deserves a lot more than 3 on 10. Even if you don't like this type of cartoonish fluff, I think it's a good movie to rent and just watch if you're bored. It's entertaining and colorful.

I love how this movie was so stupid, it was good. Yahoo Serious is an incredible actor, and I love his accent. He was so clumsy, he reminded me of myself, and that made me love him even more. The movie was good in the fact that the main character was good. He was not like some of the other movies where the main character is a drug-dealer, or alcoholic, or just plain, for lack of a better word, mean.

Well, I said it for The Castle, Pricilla, Muriels Wedding, and a few other movies lately. This movie is the kind of movie that, although should be a credit to Yahoo Serious and everyone involved in making it, is the kind of movie that Australians should hide whenever family from overseas visit. Blatantly obvious gags are used to death and unfortunately the funniest parts are within the first few minutes.

But sometimes the overseas market surprises. Most Aussies hate the idea of Crocodile Dundee, and are shuddering at the idea of a trilogy, but hey, the Americans think it's funny to laugh at us, so they get what they want.
