Oh, lordy.

I bought this movie after seeing it at Media Play and remembering the late-night commercial. After getting totally into recent Troma movies, I figured this would be a good addition to the "offensive, f'ed up" movie collection. I was wrong. Dead wrong. I'm not even half-way through this movie, just getting to the Dickman skit, and I'm writing this review. Please don't buy this movie.
First of all, I wasn't offended. Granted, it's hard to offend me. But I can't imagine very much in this movie that would offend anyone.
Second, the movie is just not funny. Nothing in this movie is funny. Really. Absolutely nothing. You'll see somewhat graphic violence. You'll see some gratuituous female nudity. You'll see celebrity cameos. You'll see a lot of things that the makers of this movie thought would be funny. But unfortunately, they forgot to write jokes around them. Was anything in this movie even trying to be funny? It's really hard to tell. Ultimately, all you'll really see in this movie is your hard-earned money being flushed down the drain.
Again, please don't make the same mistake I did. Please don't buy this movie. Don't even watch this movie. You might be tempted just because of all the bad reviews you'll read here saying how bad it is. But don't be fooled. This is not "so bad it's good". This is just bad.
In closing, if you're looking for a movie that IS funny AND offensive, I would point you to recent Troma releases such as "Terror Firmer" and "Toxic Avenger 4". Just please don't buy this movie.

I am writing this review because I am upset that I paid good money for this and want to prevent other from sharing the same disapointment.

If you have seen the commercial for this you may think, as I did, that it looks really funny. Well, you see, that is the brilliance of advertising. 'Undeground' does not deliver anything as promised. It's main promise is that it WILL offend you. This movie is actually not offensive because it tries so hard to be offensive. There is an unnecessary amount of cursing and male (...) that makes it obvious how hard the film makers are trying to get the audience to squerm.

'Underground' is a collection of skits that are supposed to be funny. The supermodels taking a dump is part of a series throughout called "Things you'll never see." It is not really all too funny and neither are the rest. There is another one about a big black (...) virgin who has to turn down an advancing gay man. This skit was actually somewhat humorous; the first time. It recurrs again in the film 2 or 3 times and totally kills the joke.

The film also has a "very special apperance" by Slash. I don't need to explain who he is. His apearance, was to say the least, dissapointing. He hosts a "rag lady" competition and just acts like a complete idiot. He firts apears with a bottle of jack daniels so you will know he has been drinking. By the way he is acting it apears that he is pretending to be drunk rather than actually being drunk. It is so dumb. I mean that. Dumb.

It is so pathetic how hard this movie tries to push your buttons. It just does not work. For example, in the Godmother skit this guy presents a way to save money by replacing spaghetti meat with aborted fetus'. He has a jar of this nasty looking stuff and slaps some on a plate. haha. When I saw this I was like "am I supposed to get sick or something?" It's like hes holding out the plate and begging you to be sicked by it. Practically begging for your upsetness.

This movie has nothing to it other than half-a$$ed atempts at grossing out. Pleas don't buy it. It is not offensive at all because it tries so hard to be so offensive. It just looks sad.

I read a review that said people like me who think this movie sucks are basically not good enough to admit that the movie actually is funny and we just don't get it. The reviewer said people like me should just say that the movie is just too much for me and maybe it will be funny to someone else who can handle it. Here this: none of this movie offended me; it is just poorly done. The scene in VanWilder where the dog (...) the danishes and then the guys eat them with dog semen dripping down their chins was funny. It was funny because the movie had more to it. Picture a movie where every scene is basically a re-creation of the dog semen scene. That is what 'Underground' is and it gets really old after a while.

Many reviewers say they would give a movie 0 stars if they could. This movie actually deserves the 1. There are some subtle redemable qualities. The skit "Dickman fights lesbians" was hilarious. A big (...)headed super-hero shoots semen to beat lesbians. The skit was not funny enought to redeem any of the rest of the movie. There is also a music video that is a parody of "I love L.A." called "I hate L.A." There are some funny lines in the song but it is overall dumb. I liked the concept of it though.

To conlude, this movie did actaully offend me; inadvertantly. I am offended by the review I see with 4-5 stars. Ok, I hate this movie. But even if you find it funny at least give it 3 stars or less becuase it is made so badly. Take into account the predictablility of the skits and the choppy editing. Actually, on second thought, do see this movie. Don't buy it. Rent it or see if someone you know has it. I want you to understand how horrible it is. I want you to feel the hatred towards the revieweres who gave it 5 stars that I do. All of them are examples of why little children should'nt be allowed to write reviews.

(No stars)-Unrated because no one wanted to rate it. Unless you like the comdey show from back in the 80's, this has to be honestly the worst movie ever made. I couldn't beleive it. I had maybe one laugh. Waste of money. Waste of a DVD disc.

This is the most mind numbing, stupid film in the history of the world. The humor is on the third grade level, and if you have a brain you will not laugh one single time during the course of this piece of garbage. My brother gave this to me with the warning that it was the worst thing he had ever seen. He thought I might like it beter because I like Mr. Hanky and stuff like that but I agree with him.

Don't waste your time.

This is the most putrid, repulsive movie ever. I would like to give it a negative star value. Billed as a modern 'Kentucky Fried Movie', I expected that a satirical skit film would be funny. I enjoyed KFM, but then again, the makers of KFM had a degree of talent compared to one man wrecking crew Vince Offer, creator of this festering pustule of a film. This is the least funny movie I have ever seen. I like strange, off the wall humor. I will tolerate crude writing and production values if the underlying material is funny. That's a big if: IF the underlying material is funny. This material is NOT funny. I never once had a smile cross my face while watching this film; I certainly never laughed. You know that a movie is abysmal when the BEST performance in the film is by Joey Buttafuoco. (I'm not joking.) This is, without question, the worst movie I have ever seen.

It does have excesses of every sort; the problem is that they aren't funny. If you look over my past reviews you will note that I like funny movies, and I like (campy) bad movies. This film is neither. It is merely a putrid assemblage of raunchy scatological references strung together, and furthermore, it's boring. So boring, I could almost not get through it. I have two fundamental questions about this film: who in their right mind invested money in this monstrosity, and; what on earth was Oscar nominee (for 'The Green Mile') Michael Clarke Duncan doing in this squalid mess? He is a talented actor, and I felt embarrassed for him.

If you watch this film, I promise you that you will wish you had those 92 minutes of your life back. Do not buy this movie. Do not watch this movie. Avoid this movie like the plague.

This is the WORST movie i have ever bought. I thought it was going to be funny, so i bought it at Tower Records. God. It was supposed to be the most offensive movie ever and very funny. It was hardly offensive and rarely funny. I don't understand what other people are talking about. I mean, I'm a person who laughs at EVERYTHING. And there's nothing more than i want to have 1) never seen this movie and 2) my money back. I have to give it a little credit for its "Dickman" skit, as well as some minor amusement from the "Godmother" and japanese porn movie skits, but this was really just a terrible thing. The infomercials lied... If you don't believe me, trick someone you hate into buying it, then watch it with them. OR, buy it off me. In fact, you can have it. I hate it so much.

UPDATE: FALL, 2004:
I showed this to a bunch of people in college, letting them know it was a terrible movie. Some forced laughs, but otherwise, didn't entertain anyone. Tried to give it away, no one would take it. Eventually just left it in a random room at some party. Hope that doesn't hurt my karma.

hands down the worst bit of film ever. Anyone who liked this is high on homegrown dirt weed or crazy....................i rather watch reality tv

This movie is just not funny. It's not shocking, edgy, or offensive. It's just stupid. In the credits, it says something about the producers of "There's Something About Mary" ripping this movie off. Nothing in "There's Something About Mary" reminded me of this "movie" in the slightest. Maybe they stole the funny parts and didn't give them back, and that's why we're left with this unfunny non-movie. I'll admit that my sense of humor is very low-brow, immature, and childish, but I still didn't even laugh once. Not a chuckle. Not even a titter. There is no way that any human being could find this "movie" funny or entertaining in any way. Don't be deceived by the one star in my rating. It's not even worth one star, I just didn't have the option of picking anything lower. Don't make the same mistake I made. There's 1.5 hours of my life that I wasted and I'll never have back. Don't let it happen to you.

This movie pushes the envelop to new heights. The only thing I didn't like is the nechrophilia scene - in a bit called "Porno Review", but my boyfriend thought it was hysterical. This movie is definitely not for the mainstream but it is liberating to laugh at things you're not supposed to, it bashes almost everybody and because it's so funny you don't mind it.

If your the type of person who has been waiting for something to piss off you liberal homo friends - THIS IS THE ONE! It's funny as hell although I would strongly suggest getting the "Unrated" version. The trailer that you see on Comedy Central is mild compared to the movie. Slash is brilliant as the Host of "The Bag Lady Pageant" and Michael Clarke Duncan is great as the "Gay Virgin". This is sure to be a classic. Peace out!
