Summary: Venerable newscaster Norm Archer (Len Cariou) reports the latest news in politics, health, culture and entertainment -- such as an automotive recall of decapitation-inducing "neckbelts" and a study finding that "depression hits losers hardest." The compilation of bogus news stories, celebrity profiles and movie trailers comes courtesy of the ace satirists at The Onion. The film's most intriguing credit? Steven Seagal as Cock Puncher. (Netflix.com)
Well, they did it for Machete, Hobo With A Shotgun and now Thanksgiving....if only someone were to make a feature length film of "Cockpuncher". That would be AWESOME!!!
Sadly the movie opts for farce, and the Onion's otherwise poignant satirical punch is lost to the point where a faux trailer for a new Steven Seagal movie ends up stealing the show.
stereotypes, imagine a world without them ... this movie is like a really bad, extra long episode of SNL, the steven seagal part was pretty funny, some of the rest too, but over all it was pretty bad
It feels like Network-lite or rather Network 2: Slapstick Edition, and there's no doubt the creators were aware of this as they directly reference Network towards the end. Now that's the only complaint I have. Aside from that this is great absurd satire that I haven't seen since Kentucky Fried Movie. Some of it's great, some of it's stupid but great or stupid I still found myself laughing pretty damn hard at every single joke and that is what's most important. Also I'd watch Cockpuncher any day.
Very funny. You can tell the onion has lots of experience in the satire department. Not so much in the film-making department. I suppose i can let it slide though.
There are a lot of movies that base their entire plot on being edgy. This was the only one that could really pull it off. Just about every sketch was hilarious and left me talking about it over and over. Some of the best parts were the neckbelts, athletes with disabilities, and the lesser known stereotypes. Damn Blacks and their taffy.
The first half of sketches are decently funny, but it goes downhill pretty quick as it goes on. They should have just left it as all sketches and no story though, instead of trying to half ass some plot.
Film mi sie podobal... nawet bardzo. Tak glupiego poczucia humoru dawno nie widzialem, idealnie wysmiewa wiele wydarzen spoleczno-politycznych ostatnioch lat. Mozna powiedziec, ze jest "Genialny w swojej glupocie"
Some of it worked (ie. the D&D bit, the neckbelts, lesser-known stereotypes), but most of it didn't. Could have done without the extremely thin Network-esque plot trying to tie the sketches together. And echoing the sentiment that a feature-length Cockpuncher film would be ace.
