I find it interesting that some people don't feel this movie is worth watching even once; A few months ago I happened across it while lazily browsing the comedy section of Blockbuster, and I instantly remembered how my cousins and I used to watch it repeatedly for a several-month period about eight years ago. We thought it was hilarious, and we used to go around imitating Pat's annoying little giggle and quoting various lines. To see whether my apprieciation of this movie had had everything to do with my young age and nothing else, I rented it again and watched it with a friend. Not only do I still find it JUST as entertaining as I did at ten, but my friend loved it too.

Kyle, the obsessive neighbor who falls in love with the enigma of Pat and makes it his life purpose to find out Pat's gender, is really well played, and even a little creepy in the midst of all the comedy. Dave Foley's portrayal as Pat's...equally androgynous love interest Chris [well in truth, he looks more like a woman as this character], and the appearance of Ween [who rock, IMO] are just a few reasons I love this movie. I'm even able to feel sorry for Kathy Griffin, who plays a neighbor whom Pat won't leave alone.

While I think this film is a comedic gem, I'm not all that surprised that most people seem to feel differently. I'm not always agreed with when I mention the farcical brilliance of shows such as The Kids In The Hall and Strangers With Candy, both of which I LOVE for the way they go almost too far with the ridiculous strangeness of a situation or character.

All in all, yes, It's Pat! is incredibly stupid...And that's the POINT!! Laugh at the intended stupidity, because that's what it's there for.

Oh Pat, you padded cute little angel-muffin! Pat is so gorgeous in this film, she squeaks and dribbles and shuffles through a very cute and funny film. I was pleasantly surprised by the brilliant casting, especially of Pat's sexually ambivalent companion 'Chris', (David Foley)who is absolutley fantastic and turns as good a performance as Julia Sweeney! To those who say Pat isn't material for a 2 hour movie, Poo To You! This film rules, it has pace, feeling, laughs and it has more dimension of Pat than you'd expect! Buy it!

Okay, get a little baked and this IS the greatest movie of all time (especially if your a Ween fan). I literally fell on the floor crying at points.

When my best friend and I were roomates, this was one of our favorite movies to watch a couple times a month and recite the words throughout the whole movie. I'm sure this did drive people crazy who were hanging out at our house because we were in our own little world of Pat laughing our a**es off. My favorite lines from this movie include Pat squelching "I crushed my nuts!" when Pat tumbles down the stairs. The neighbors exchange knowing glances until Pat says "There goes my afternoon snack!" exposing the crumbled walnuts in Pat's hand. It's hilarious to watch Pat's neighbor Kyle become psycho obsessed with Pat too. I think this is an excellent movie to watch with friends. Or maybe I'm just easily amused!

this movie is brilliant! if you can ignore the few stupid jokes that are thrown in in the beginning, it's really, really funny and good. the brothers ween are great. camille paglia looks like an idiot. the way pat and chris fall in love, the way kyle is obsessed with pat, and the way everyone deals with pat are all fascinating. best of all, it teaches us that gender is unimportant, that love is love, that we are not our bodies. oh, pat. (the part when chris sprays him/her/itself with the spray bottle . . . hee hee!) also, it's always interesting to ask people what they think pat and chris are, which is the woman and which the man, or are they gay? or lesbians? or are they simply eunuchs? pat is truly one of the most engaging characters to come out ever. see this movie!

This movie is funny, funny, FUNNY!!!

Best lines:
"FEEL SORRIER FOR ME!
"I'M PLAYING WITH THE WEEN!"
Any line by Kathy Griffin or Kathy Najimy or Pat (of course)

Favorite moment:
Pat trips while going to her/his gig with Ween (tuba in hand). Pat's glasses fall off and make a cheap plastic sound as they slide across the pavement. (Play this moment over and over and you will laugh till your stomach splits.)

If you need any more proof what I've outlined here, I can't help you.

Peace.

A while ago, my sister rented this video, becuase she thought that "the box looked funny". Well, she brought it home and we watched it. The sound of Pat's voice scared me at first, but as the opening credits came on, I was laughing my head off. I must have burned so many calories from laughing after watching that movie. Afterward, it had me singing " alot of people say 'what's that?' Its PAT" for days!

Gotta love this one! Pat falls in love with the opposite gender - whatever that is! Has career problems! And even a stalker! She/He has chutzpah! (forgive me if I spelled that wrong). No matter what happens he/she goes blithely through life on her/his way to his/her next escapade. Ah to live with such flair. As a woman Pat is a triumph - not a care about how she looks, dresses, or acts but simply is and finds love without conforming to the world's "look and act like this to be a woman and loved" standards. If Pat is a man, well, what other kind of behaviour would you expect?! Either way, Pat comes out on top of the world - I'm just dying for a sequel - Pat and Chris live "lives of quiet desperation with a house and 2.5 kids!"....

"It's Pat" is by far the funniest movie I have ever seen! If you love corny humor, this movie is for you! Appearances by Ween make the movie even more worthwhile! The fact that Pat's neighbor Kyle is so obsessed with Pat makes the movie hilarious! Buy this movie!

Best movie ever, if you have seen it... Acess denied HUH HUHUH UH HUHU HUH
