    I was lucky enough to see this film...it was hysterical.

    This film is great. It's like a long sketch comedy. The humor pushes the limits, but is very clever and funny. I can't wait to see this film again. There were some very original ideas. The writer of this film should have a bright future in film or as a sketch comedy writer.

    An odd, yet very amusing, movie

    This is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen... but that is not always a bad thing. One thing can definitely be said about this movie and that is originality, you've never seen, and never will see, anything else quite like it. If you go into this movie with an open mind and a light heart you will love it, as I did. It is very funny and there are scenes from it that will stick with you for awhile ("Bang, got you!"). I definitely recommend this movie to anyone with an open mind, you will love it. But if you are the kind of movie-goer who enjoys movies that stay within the set patterns of modern film-making (even those as major as not "cutting" scenes out that hold information that you seemingly need to know to "understand" the movie). This is brilliantly written (I have no idea how someone can write something this odd) and directed, and Michael Black's portrayal as the narrator is excellent.

    I really enjoyed Big Helium Dog.

    I thought it was very funny, and (Hollywood) Brian Lynch is definitely a rising star in the film community. I can't wait to see what he has to offer for the Scary Movie series, and any other writing/directing ventures he may be involved in.

    I also love his work with angrynakedpat.com (notably Patchouli), which always keeps me laughing (well, if not laughing, grinning heavily)

    Truly the greatest story ever told...

    Truly the greatest story ever told.

    The performances were all great, but a few stood out, like Kevin Smith and Michael Ian Black. Every time Smith came on screen, I busted at least three guts. The camera really does love him. Black was great too, I cannot see anyone else being Huber, I do not think it would work as well as it did for him. Also, the chick who played Chastity [Natalia Cigliuti?], it was great to see at least one good thing come from Saved By The Bell: The New Class. Besides providing a continuing career for Dustin Diamond.

    I loved the way it was set up structurally. Being raised on Sesame Street, my attention span only lasts about, wait, what was I talking about? But, it was truly a film for those of us with 20-second attention spans. And the method worked well. Hell, the whole damn movie worked well.

    The self-awareness of the movie played perfect. Most of the time when a flick tries to talk about it self, or has a character addressing the audience, it falls flat on its face.

    I loved the ending; it just kept going and going. Just when you thought it was over another scene would pop up. Some will say it is stupid, but I am one of the minority that thinks if something like that is funny the first time, it will be funny the next thousand times. Like on Letterman, some of the gags we does night after night after night, but I laughed harder each successive time.

    And since everything above this probably makes little to no sense, I will give Big Helium Dog the highest praise I can give anything. I wanted to own a copy right after seeing it. So I can watch it over and over.

    Keep an eye on the is Lynch fellow, his day of fame is coming.

    funniest movie i've seen in a long time

    I saw this movie at the 2005 Vulgarthon in LA, and dude it is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a long time. I might be alone here, but try to follow me, you go to a movie, everyone laughs at something thats kind of funny so you laugh too, but Big Helium Dog is like... well to me... i laughed because it was really funny, not because everyone else thought it was.

    Bryan Lynch is genius. How he came up with BHD is still beyond me. I love him right now.

    How anyone can give this a bad review is beyond me. I mean have you really seen it? How can it be bad? It's too funny!

    I cant wait for this to come out on DVD (hopefully it will)

    I will be the first person in line to get it.
