O Peste

I found this movie Very enjoyable. I was laughing out loud and I really enjoyed the humor of it. If you are familiar with John Leguizamo's comedy and you are a fan of it this movie is a must see. It is a take on the novel "The Most Dangerous Game" and it focuses on the event's Pestario (Leguizamo) must overcome such as the fact the Scottish mob is after him, a crazy German nazi, Gustav, (Jeffrey Jones) is hunting him, and Gustav's homosexual son ,Himmel (Edoardo Ballerini), who is obsessed with "snakes", is obsessed with him too! This comedy moves fast yet is highly enjoyable!

You have to understand that this movie is just meant to be fun. It is hilarious. Even if there are a few fart jokes and toilet humor mixed in, there are some seriously hilarious parts that make this movie fantastic. One liners like no other movie. People are trying to take this movie too seriously like its trying to be more than it is.

If you're like me, you like all movies as long as you can find some redeeming qualities in it. The Pest is devoid of anything resembling quality, it's the equivalent of going to Big Lots, which is a pretty good store usually, and buying their interpretation of a cardiac defibrillator! Lenguizamo, who can be good at times, doesn't even deserve to spelled correctly with his performance in this Razzie winner! Trashy, tacky and tasteless all describe this movie, however if you're drunk or stoned or something, it'll probably help purge the contaminants in your stomach or bowels and then provide either the DVD leaflet/VHS box to help clean up afterward, but the ultimate irony will be that that would symbolize the money you wasted on it!

Obviously this didn't win any awards for excellency, but it wasn't that horrible of a movie either. It showed bits and pieces of comedic genius mixed in with lowbrow and downright idiotic slapstick. Could this be a deeper and uncomfortable view into the twisted mind of Leguizamo (who must have been on a diet of sugar and caffeine throughout the filming of The Pest)? For what it's worth, about 20 minutes into the movie I wanted to kill his character, Pest. Hopefully that's what the writer intended... It was worth the $1.50 I paid for it, but it wouldn't last 1 second against true comedic genius like Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

If nothing else... It's f###ing hilarious how many well thought out hate comments this movie has prompted. Heck, even if it truly is the WORST movie you have ever seen in your entire life, that surely makes it worth viewing to see what qualities stand out at the very bottom. It is absurd, stupid humor. You are too caught up on bashing the pest being a grating pest you prolly miss alot of this silly one liners. And yes, thebsheer level of the rediculous makes best rediculous quick bits fly by missed. But c'mon, you are watching a movie called The Pest, were you expecting a witty and intellectual gem? This is that movie where you gotta laugh because it's just so effing stupid and over the top. You want tip? Go buy honda stock. A scottish mob!?!? Go in knowing it's just for s#!ts and giggles. Don't expect FREAK or his structured one man shows. Expect MAD magazine or something.
