Artie

I really liked the movie. It's obviously a low budget "B" type production (no offense to the producers intended). However, if you lose the snobish "DVD quality" bias, and look at it with an open mind you will see the real essence of how creative & funny these guys are. I liked the similarity to "CHRIS" the Farley brothers show (ya, I am obviously a huge fan... God bless Chris Farley... I sure do miss him). The character "Emily" by Heather Mccomb was great. I know I fell in love with her and was ready to kick Arties ASS for not seeing how adorable she was from the get go!! I say she's easily going to be the next Rene' Zellwigger (sp-sorry) A true American sweetheart wating to be discovered!! Turns out the movie was a great romantic comedy after all. Ya I am a guy, I own a construction company, lift weights, play guitar in a rock band and STILL like romantic comedies!! There are lots of us out there. I recommend the movie ( I bought it), and hope we see more of this type of production from the cast and crew. To me I like to see that talent, a good script and premise can overcome the limitations of a limited production budget.

"Artie AKA F.A.R.T. The Movie" does not meet with the fart joke quota one would expect from both the movies title and premise. It instead is a tame romantic comedy with a few fart jokes thrown in. Thats not to say the movie is entirely unfunny but I can't help feel disappointed that the premise was not taken further. The movie would have been more interesting if it were in the tradition of the remarkable comedy "Senseless", setting up more wacky gas related prediciment's for artie, in which then hilarity would ensue as he tries to overcome them.

If there was ever a tasteful movie about a young man's struggle with love and overall gastrointestinal distress, Artie is it! And talk about multi-generational appeal! It's innocent, but completely twisted at the same time. Ya gotta see this film.

I laughed, I cried. I laughed and cried at the same time. Sophomoric humor for sure, but the situations and timing make everything in this movie work. The grandfather in this movie had me rolling on the floor. And the bathroom scene was exxplosive!

Matt Berman's film moves along with the grace of a falcon. Soaring high with an engaging romance that's not too sappy, whilst diving in with a primal humour, tasteful enough to skim above the gutter. "Artie" manages to weave together a story of budding young love with the stuff that made our ancestors roll about in the caves. Not an easy task, yet Berman's easy going script and his clever padding of the line leaves the audience smiling sweetly and chuckling
