The Onion Movie (2008)

Everyone should give this a look especially if you like The Onion as it's just an hour and half long version of that with loose links to each newsie segment.

Satirical interpretations of world events and curious human behavior.

And if thats not enough then!

OH if you intend to watch the film I'd skip the trailer there's a good bit in it.

By the looks of the trailer, seems to be more sketches than anything resembling a coherent narrative

Which is great if they can retain the humour of the site (and the recent videos on there are hilarious).

just got it today.Looking forward to seeing it especially Segal.

I think that it's in the vein of The Day Today or Brass Eye, as in it's a skit news show. Hopefully they could make it into a tv show.

Lookedat it last night.Very watchable but also very hit or miss.Basically in the same vein as Kentucky Movie.Some of the sketches are hilarious and no doubt alot of people will think it's a dumb movie...and it is and thats part of the brilliance to it.Was totaly sober looking at it and will look at it again in an altered state.Reckon it'll be a better movie viewed baked.Was disappointed by how little Segal is in it.

Holy crap that looks hilarious.

I watched this tonight and it was pretty funny. It's not amazing, but has some great moments, like the Michael Bolton cameo, the "Negro riots" and the crippled hockey player (that one had me in stitches). Worth a gander, at least.

I thought it was very good most of the time (the Bates 4000, the new obesity measurements) but some of the sketches went on a little too long like the armed gunman skit.
