5.0 out of 5 starsSick, silly, absurd -- fantastic
By EA Solinas HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 20, 2003
Format: DVD
It would take someone as talented as Peter Jackson to make "Meet the Feebles" -- a gross, sick, absurd and twistily logical dark (very dark) comedy. If "Frighteners" was Jackson's version of "Ghostbusters," then this is his even weirder version of the "Muppet Show." (Not one for kids, either)
The not-so-good "Feebles" variety show has just scored a network special, with buxom singer Heidi the Hippo as the central attraction. Behind the scenes, it's another story: Heidi's lover Bletch the Walrus is cheating on her with a slinky Siamese, Wynard the Vietnam-scarred frog hasn't been able to get more heroin and is having problems with his knife-throwing act (you can imagine what happens), a rat is making pornos in the basement, a blue elephant is embroiled in a paternity suit with a chicken (guess what the kid looks like), Harry the rabbit has come down with a venereal disease, and new porcupine Robert has fallen in love with a beautiful chorus girl.
To make things worse, Bletch is involved in a scheme with underworld drug kingpins, one of whom is a whale of a problem (seriously -- he's a whale). Heidi is pigging out on chocolate and starting to come unglued mentally out of fear that her lover doesn't care about her anymore. And when the curtain goes up, will the Feebles be able to get their acts together? (I'll give you a hint: The answer has two letters)
Peter Jackson once said that he had a "moronic" sense of humor, and it shows here in all its grimy glory. What if the Muppet Show were plagued with every kind of seediness? Sex, drugs, puppet porn and some really disgusting vomiting (and cast members occasionally eating one another), and a machine-gun massacre are spattered over this story -- and while you may not want to, you'll love it.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsAstounding
By Blahblahblah on December 17, 2001
Format: VHS Tape
Directed by Peter Jackson who has newfound fame thanks to his work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, this movie (his second, after Bad Taste) has to be seen to be believed.
Jackson takes the basic concept of the Muppet show (combining puppets and humans in animal costumes to tell the story about the action backstage at a popular variety show) but carries the concept to a sick extreme, creating a hybrid offspring of the Muppets and such schlock entertainment-industry classics as The Valley of the Dolls. For example, look at the absurdity of the relationship between Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog. In the Feebles, animal characters eat other animal characters or have hybrid offspring. Characters have drug addictions, extramarital affairs, degenerative diseases, star in S&M porn movies on the side, etc. There is an amazing Deer Hunter inspired Nam flashback, a hillarious war between drug dealers and some entertainment bigwigs on a pier (which includes a whale, giant crabs and a giant spider), bodily fluids fly all over the place, a massacre ensues near the end, and it is all topped of by a "where are they now" type of ending as in Animal House or American Graffitti. Oh, yes, there are also musical numbers (I won't spoil the title of the best one).
Not as gory as Jackson's Dead Alive, but MUCH sicker.

3.0 out of 5 starsShock Value Will Take You A Long Way, But Only For So Long
By K. Harris HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on October 25, 2006
Format: DVD
I'm probably in the minority when it comes to a film like Peter Jackson's "Meet The Feebles." I actually saw this movie in a theater when it came out--long before "Lord of the Rings" made Jackson a household name. I own the DVD and have shown it to many people. I have also presented this film to several people as gifts. Who wouldn't want "Meet The Feebles" in their stocking come Christmastime? And while I am absolutely in love with the idea of this film--in truth, I'm more in love with it for the curiosity factor than with it's overall effectiveness as a movie.

I wanted very much to rate this as 5 stars. I'd really recommend it to anyone who is even remotely interested in it or has a taste for the sick, twisted, and/or avant garde. But, points for outrageousness aside--on a real merit scale, it comes in at about a 3. And mind you, I'm a big fan of this movie.

Obviously, what we've got here is a demented puppet show. We've got sex, drugs, pornos, VD, psychosis, violence--all the qualities that bring out the best in people. You have to laugh along, especially at the beginning, with the litany of absurdity. The purpose of the film is to shock and horrify you--and that it will, especially if you're not a demented sicko like me. But there's lots to laugh at and enjoy.

If the film were half as long (it's 97 minutes), I'd have gone 5 stars for it keeping up the insane momentum. However, at full length--it does get a bit repetitive. Shock value only takes you so far, and when you've set the bar so high at the beginning--things will eventually begin to lag. So while I respect and love this film on many levels, it just fails to sustain itself. Every time I watch it, I'm glad when it ends--but that doesn't mean I won't watch it again or pass it on to another unsuspecting soul to warp their fragile mind. KGHarris, 10/06.

5.0 out of 5 starsTRANSCENDENTALLY DEPRAVED. CRIPPLINGLY FUNNY. INSANE GENIUS.
By A Customer on September 8, 1999
Format: VHS Tape
This movie is in a class by itself, elevating black humor to another plane entirely with its subversion of the cute, fondly-remembered TV puppets of our childhood into a hysterically disturbed, sordid, wretched, warped, sex-and-drugs vision of show-biz puppethood. Peter Jackson might well be a miscegenation of Jim Henson and Hunter S. Thompson. Miscegenation itself is even a theme in this movie, which sports the grotesque offspring of an elephant and a chicken in one scene, and interspecies B&D sex between a cow and a cockroach (being filmed by a rat pornographer) in another. Boundaries of taste you weren't even aware of are crossed with evil glee. It was physically exhausting to watch this movie, which made me laugh almost to the point of asphyxiation.
