  • Poor...very poor.

    Rated - 1.0 star

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    I would like to say this film was good but it wasn't, It has no plot what soever and no real reason to keep you watching it, all I can say is watch out for cock puncher it's the only recurring bit.

  • Fails to capture everything that makes The Onion great

    Rated - 1.0 star

    I wanted to like this film, I really did. I'm a big fan of The Onion, and they've done some amazing stuff with video. Unfortunately this is just not it. The whole thing seemed to be completely lacking of any humour. There were a few giggles but most of the film just seemed lazy and non-sensical whilst the attempt at an 'Onion takeover' fell flat on its face. It's a shame, but this one really doesn't work.

  • Despite bad reviews, I wanted it to be good... don't make the same mistake!

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    Well, despite the bad reviews I wanted so badly for it to be amusing! I love a good spoof... but, erm, well, I cringingly watched 10 minutes and, of all spoofy stuff, this really was just awful.

    I really wanted it to be good and had determined in my head that the bad reviews were people that didnt appreciate a p*** take but nope!

    Its like a school play level comedy where the parents would have to laugh politely to keep it going...

    Please! if you, like me, want to ignore all of the bad reviews and think 'well, it cant be THAT bad' it can! so dont waste a DVD rental... stick a Scary Movie, Epic Movie or even Disaster Movie on your list instead... they truly are brilliant after seeing this!

    Should have given it more than 10 minutes, you ask? maybe! ...maybe you should take the challenge on my behalf! :O)

  • Funny in places...

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    If you like the Onion you will probably enjoy this film. Quite funny in places, loving the Britney Spears type character. Agree that towards the end it got rather tedious. Still, better than most comedies available.

  • WHAT THE HELL!!!

    Rated - 0.0 stars  
    By spaggy (1 review) from Ashby-de-la-Zouch , 21 Feb 2009
    What the hell was going on with this movie, this was actually the worst film i have ever seen and i have seen a lot of bad films. If people read this to find out what the film is like so they can rent it for themselves DON'T DO IT. Do not put yourself through the torture of this film.
