this movie is filled with disgusting animal violence and i really suspect the writers must be mentally ill, closet serial killers if they think its funny to kill cats.

Ha, I am not surprised. It just looked like an odd terrible rip off of Big Fat Liar with terrible timing and no entertainment value unless you are uneducated and enjoy that kind of humor. Why waste my time on a stupid Jared Hess movie.

Saw this at Fantastic Fest and I can understand all the hate. The problem with the film is that there is nothing fresh or new in it, especially if you have seen Hess’s other films. The guy really needs to try something else. The whole movie is like a check list of everything he’s done before. Plus it’s not that funny.
Rockwell and Clement are pretty good in it though.
Have to point out that I really like Napoleon Dynamite and I think Nacho Libre is pretty good as well.

It did however have a scene that I’m sure has never been put on film before. An albino constrictor having projectile diarrhea over a dude.

I expected its over-the-top quirk would divide audiences, but I’m surprised that the reaction has been this negative. Kind of like Southland Tales, it has piqued my interest in seeing it all the more, but with much lower expectations that may not even be met.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH AUDIENCES! that trailer looked really promising, they are releasing The Fantastic Mr. Fox – it can’t be any more “acquired taste” than that. This just ruined my day, my week, MY FALL!

The only time Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre get better is when they are in the trash and forgotten about because they are both terrible terrible movies. The cast of Gentlemen Broncos did look a bit promising, especially my favorite Sam Rockwell, but by the looks of it, its just another shit movie from Jared Hess. Too many other good movies to watch to waste my time on him.

I have seen the screening of this movie, and to be honest I was surprised that I enjoyed it a lot, that I am now waiting for it to get released nationally, so I can watch it again. I’m so disappointed to hear that Fox Searchlight is cancelling the national release! They should’ve released this nationally on Oct. 30 and people would go and watch excitedly. Instead of having to wait then reading other peoples’ reviews that don’t mean shit!!!
