4.0 out of 5 stars Dim Wits, January 19, 2005

I bought this movie a couple of weeks ago for the simple fact that 1) Jim Gaffigan is in it and 2) the critical reviews available online are all very strong.

I think if you bother to watch the movie more than once (which I did because there are so many things happening so fast) you'll see that it's not some sophomoric collection of potty humor. It's actually very sad, uncomfortable and subversive.

This movie is not for everyone, CLEARLY, but if you like raw, independent, dark films, then this is definitely for you. Highly recommended.

If you are a fan of Spinal Tap, you will LOVE this movie. It's not like anything else - very unique in its humor. It's very,very dark and very smart. You'll pee yourself laughing. TONS of amazing extras and one of the best director's commentaries I've ever heard. Well worth the cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars HACKS Rocks, April 15, 2004

This review is from: Hacks (DVD)

This is one of the funniest movie EVER. Obviously low budget, but it had me laughing from start to finish.

The film is a black and white 'mockumentary' about a talent agency specializing in stand-up comics. It shows the world of stand-up comedy from a particularly skewed point of view. All the comics involved are talentless hacks, but funny characters nonetheless.

Extras: great deleted scenes, and one of the best director's commentaries I've ever heard, plus another commentary and other stuff.

Also, the film isn't rated but has a PARENTAL ADVISORY. This is mostly for language and adult situations. There is a little non-sexual nudity, but it's just funny, not at all sexy.
