Movie Reviews of The Onion Movie
Movie Review: Worth The Price Just To See Mousie Garner's Last Film Role
Summary: 5 Stars
The Onion Movie is definitely worth the purchase price if only to see Mousie Garner, the last surviving member of Ted Healy's Three Stooges comedy troupe, in his very last comedic film performance. Garner, (born: July 31, 1909 - died: August 8, 2004), was 95 years old when he signed on to The Onion Movie to play the role of "Uncle Smackers." Garner, who enjoyed a 75 year career as a popular stage, screen, radio and television comedian, died only a few months after filmming a variety of sequences for this film. Don't miss the very special deleted scene where Garner interacts with The Onion's voluptuous video vixen!
Summary of The Onion Movie
This just in...The Onion invades DVD! Based on the wildly popular newspaper hailed by The New Yorker as the funniest publication in the United States The Onion Movie brings you uncensored uninhibited UNRATED news and views from around the world. In a stunning development when Onion News anchorman Norm Archer (Len Cariou) is asked to compromise his journalistic integrity to please a new corporate sponsor he doesn t just get mad he gets...angry. Taking aim at pop stars prisoners peace talks and of course high-testosterone action films The Onion Movie delivers hard-hitting headlines and side-splitting laughs!System Requirements:Running Time: 80 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY/PARODY & SPOOF Rating:?NR UPC:?024543518945 Manufacturer No:?2251894Shelved since 2003 then released straight to DVD, the feature-length Onion Movie is based on the satirical nationwide newspaper The Onion, which works better in print than on celluloid. That said, hardcore Onion fans will appreciate this effort to enliven text with filmed comedic sketches that strongly resemble Saturday Night Live news and National Lampoon. Directors Tom Kuntz and Mike Maguire translate what would normally read as sarcastic headlines into slapstick skits starring three news reporters, Norm Archer (Len Cariou), Larissa Laskin (Dana Dobbs), and Scott Klace (Kip Kendall), reporting on idiotic events either live or in the studio. The newsreel opens, for example, with a report from Archer on the dangers of "neck belts" in automobiles, that have lately been decapitating drivers. Spoofs on everyone and everything, from slutty teen stars, racial stereotyping, the handicapped, to military recruitment officials turned peaceful by marijuana, add plenty of characteristically perverse and iffy Onion humor to this odd film. The Onion Movie relies loosely on a plot in which Norm Archer, devoted anchorman, protests a toy penguin interrupting his screen time in the name of advertising an upcoming film, Cockpuncher, that the network's corporate sponsor, Global Tetrahedron, has funded. This facetious action film featuring Steven Seagal, looks a little too life-like after Norm takes measures to fight the power. At an hour and a half, news skits interrupted by fake commercials and Archer's fits of rage feel played out, though skit-to-skit, the news broadcasts are quite hilarious, making the film an overall winner if you're in the mood for mockery. --Trinie Dalton
