Movie Review: Chickens
Summary: 3 Stars
*Spoiler Alert*
Plot of the Mudge Boy- Duncan lives on a farm.. the kid loses his mom when she falls off a bike one day. He loves chickens and raises chickens on a farm. He makes his chicken his best friend and carries him around everywhere he goes. He meets a group of friends and this one guy who he develops a crush on. The guy has interest in him too but continually denies it and acts like he hates ''gays'' but then tries to do something to Duncan 'the mudge boy' and succeeds. Soon hes after Duncan and they confront him outside their truck and he does 'something' shocking- THE END.
Thats basically it. It had atmosphere, it was decent to watch but very odd and the ending leaves you like, what?
Movie Review: A tad unsatisfied..
Summary: 3 Stars
The main reason I bought this in the first place was because of the homosexual loving. Hah. No,seriously. Anyone who,like me, is looking for a good gay love story...you might be disappointed. What interactions your see between Duncan and Perry are very one-sided and only make up about 15-20 minutes of the whole movie. Regardless though, this movie was moving. The ending made me cry. I was disappointed at first because I wanted more about Perry but then I realized that that wasn't what the movie is about. It ended perfectly.Movie Review: About the dvd

I'll skip my thoughts on the movie, which are not half as interesting as other ones written around here, and tell you about the dvd instead.
Unfortunately this transfer will only look good on a not very big stantard tv, or maybe in better sets too, if you don't sit too close. It's non-anamorphic letterboxed, and it's riddled with digital artifacts, all real detail is lost, and it's not progressive. Quite mind-boggling, in this day and age. Colors are good though.
Movie Review: Bogged down in Mudge
Summary: 3 Stars
There is a good story buried in this movie but you have to be very patient while a lot of slow moving and boring scenes go by.Movie Review: Confusion and death lead to unbelievable actions
Summary: 2 Stars
The Mudge Boy revolves around the simple farm life of Duncan Mudge, a reclusive, awkward, borderline retarded boy who is extremely troubled by his mother's untimely death. He's socially inept and psychologically troubled, and his best friends are an invisible boy named Edgar and a chicken named Chicken. In fact, chickens are just about his only real friends.
The kid's troubled, and his chicken friendship is not the only problem. He also enjoys deep-throating chicken heads (not a euphimism) and wearing his deceased mother's clothing. And when around others his age, he's hopelessly out of place and goofy - basically he's Forrest Gump with a chicken instead of Jenny.
One day he's with a classmate named Perry when more is revealed about Duncan. He stares at his friend's penis, then peaks at it again, while Perry urinates while telling a lurid sexual tale. That night, Duncan's father catches him wearing his mother's nightgown. The next day he is huddled next to Perry, both in underwear, and reaches for Perry's bicep. It's safe to say that his mother's death has brought on the gender confusion and homosexual tendencies. In fact, I'd say that the underlying message of the movie is that many believe those actitivies and beliefs are more often than not the result of some sort of childhood trauma, and a mental problem.
The movie gets weirder by the minute, and it's only a matter of time before there's fellatio, voyuerism, and Duncan gets raped in the barn by Perry while wearing his mother's wedding dress - despite Perry's protestations of not being a "queer". Yeah, you read that right.
Don't let anyone convince you otherwise; this movie is disgusting for the sake of shock in order to make a statement of some perverse kind. It's not about love as some posters have stated or glossed over. It's violent, abusive, and criminal what happens, and displays more about what can happen to someone facing constant physical and psychological trauma than anything else. It's as deep as a mud puddle, and the most compelling character is the chicken, who gets savagely murdered after an electrifying performance in the later stages of the movie.
