Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy

[Ravi]

I rented Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy yesterday.  I remember hearing that it wasn't good, but I liked it.  It's pretty funny and not overly vulgar.  I also liked the creative look of the film, especially the opening sequence.  Most comedies are shot in a bland, boring style, but this one has a great look.

Ebert really blasted this film.  I disagree that the humor seemed forced.

One of my favorite comedies of all time. Damn the naysayers.

I really liked it, but I was a fan beforehand.  

I would like to know how someone liked it who wasn't a fan of the show.

I hadn't seen the show before I saw the movie.

So there you go.

Interestingly (indeed), I guess the movie didn't quite turn out the way the kids hoped... but I say it was still very very funny.  I have it on VHS, and I've been meaning to pick up the DVD, just so I don't have to rewind it all the damn time.

Does it work on ex-boyfriends?

This is a drug, for the world, to give worms to ex-girlfriends.

The "Kids" will be in LA shooting bonus material on Oct 8 and 9th for the set. Many of the questions they'll be asked were submitted by fans through the survey on the site.

"Are we ever going to get the big table in here or do I have to go out and chop down the fucking tree myself?"

I was just thinking of that line this morning.

I'm a huge fan of the kids, so in a way i have to like this movie. But it was a bit dissapointing. Just a bit. I'd much rather watch the show than the movie any time. In Same Guys, New Dresses they even talked about how the movie was full of problems.

The movie looked to have problems but it was good enough for KITH fans, like myself who saw them at Massey Hall a few years ago.
I haven't seen this movie in years even though I own it on VHS.. the line that came to me when reading this thread was:

"So I hear Dad's dead - hey, is that egg nog?"

[Banky]

I liked Cancer Boy

What did you think of SGND?  I haven't seen it in over a year, but I found it to be not very informative.  They spend way too much time showing Scott's robodog.  Still, it is interesting to see clips of their live shows.  I wish I could have gone to see them when they came to Dallas, but I did see them at the Virgin Megastore and they autographed my DVD.  Best extra ever?  Dave Foley's Lasik surgery video.
