An appalling piece of cinema. Crudely thrown together without an intelegent thought or coherancy in any manor.
Can it be any more awsome?
If you've seen the show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, then you know what to expect from Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters. Absolutly nothing has changed. Critics can and will tear this movie apart because of it's lack of any cinematicness (for a lack of a better term) and storytelling. Fans will just say they didn't get it.
I personally disagree. There's really nothing to get. You eather laugh at the ongoing, incoherant ramblings of Aqua Teen Hunger Force, or you groan at them. It's as simple as that. I think it's a hoot. Aqua Teen Hunger Force isn't the greatest thing to grace television, hell it's not even the greatest thing to grace Cartoon Network's Adult Swim lineup (that would be Sealab 2021), but it's something I enjoy for a simple belly laugh.
Colon Movie Film for Theaters crams a lot of the humor fans enjoy from the show into it's 80 minute runtime. However I will say some of the best material is used up after the first half hour. The prologue is hillarious (Master Shake's Civil War video game had me in stitches) and Shake teaching Meatwad about sex is one of the funniest things I've seen all year.
But the funniest joke in this movie is that it actually made it to theaters. The film offers nothing to justify itself as something to go see in a theater, and instead it seems like a TV special thrown on the screen just to see who they could sucker in. This is the charm of Colon Movie Film for Theaters. It's probably the first movie I've ever seen that doesn't even attempt to be a cinematic experience. It doesn't try to give us our money's worth. It's 80 minutes of the creators amusing themselves, and to hell with the audience. Fortunatly for Aqua Teen's audience, it clicks with them as well. There was a decent group of Aqua Teen fans in my theater, and Colon Movie Film for Theaters recieved a standing ovation.
But what plot does Colon Movie Film for Theaters have holding these characters experienced in 10 minute long episodes for eight times that length? It has a little bit about the origins of the Aqua Teens, but it's so muddled up in random gags, there is never any real answer. Which is a good thing, I think. I never really gave a damn about why Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad are what they are. It's just a crude and silly cartoon show after all, depth has no place here. There's also a bit about a rampaging exorcise machine, a plot that seems to have been partially inspired by 1998's Godzilla, though with an Aqua Teen twist.
Is Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters worth watching in the theaters? With the hit and miss Will Farrell and the please make him go away Jon Heder currently dominating the box office, I say why not? I'd rather pay for something that induces a laugh.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force, number 1 at the box office, G!
