Movie Reviews of Meet the Feebles
Movie Review: From the underbelly of the muppet world..
Summary: 4 Stars
comes a hilarios movie about the wayward world of muppets. This movie was absolutly hilarious, though not one Ill show my child it definately was worth buying .Movie Review: Shock Value Will Take You A Long Way, But Only For So Long
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
Movie Review: A strange experience.
Summary: 3 Stars
Of all the films Peter Jackson made in his early "wacky B-movie" period, this one is almost certainly the least accessible. The subject matter is very adult, the music is overpoweringly loud and obnoxious, the camera work is claustrophobic, and Jackson appears to be trying to make you throw up as often as possible. The end result of all this feels something like a movie equivalent to finger nails on a chalkboard. Still, it has it's moments, and if you're looking for something different and/or have always wondered what the Muppets would be like it they were NC-17, then look no further.Movie Review: a little demented

My boyfriend has this on VHS and actually made me sit there and watch it with him. I just bought the movie for him in DVD format for Christmas. For some parts of the movie there just are no words to describe what's going on. Interspecies sex, drugs and murder...I guess it has something for everyone! It's definitely a movie that everyone over the age of 18 needs to see at least once.Movie Review: yawn
Summary: 2 Stars
Well i had high hopes for this movie dispite its many negative reviews but in the end it ended up being a waste of an hour and a half. If i were a kid i might think some of the jokes funny but as an adult who has seen most of them all before this movie had little to offer and didnt shock or offend me but rather bored me. (spoiler) about the only memorable scene in the movie for me was the frog junky's flashback to nam and even that wasnt very funny but i always enjoy deer hunter parodies and seeing it from a junky frogs perspective was mildly entertaining. The rest of the movie was pea soup vomit gags and lengthy dialogue that lead no where. One star for the attempt at humor and one star for pitty, not the worste way to spend your time but theres not enough weed in Jamaca to make this flick funny.
