Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - for completists only
If you have a lot of love for Sam Raimi or the Coen brothers, it's worth checking out. It's a very silly movie, a live action version of Bugs Bunny cartoon. Bruce Campbell has a part, and Frances McDormand makes an appearance.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not so great
After a long time trying to find the lost Sam Raimi/ Coen Brothers movie to rent I gave up and just bought the Region 2 DVD (cheao) from amazon.co.uk.
This is the film Sam Raimi did after Evil Dead 2 that he wrote with the Coen Brothers. The film was beautifully shot with some real great camera work but quite simply does not work at all.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Sam Raimi's Second Slapstick, Cult , Horror, Drama
Sam Raimi proved to us, with his first film "The Evil Dead", that his mixed Comedy/Horror combination made his original directing style stand out.

Collaborating the screenplay with his assistant editor from the evil dead, not to mention future vituroso director "Joel Coen" , and Joel's brother ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Crimewave Fun!!
I LOVE this movie! I have had it on vhs since it first came out.
Reed Birney is adoribly innocent & dorky playing Vic in the lead role. But Brion James & Paul Smith stole the show playing the pest patrol baddies...getting rid of pesty people too. The cast is sweet, but the comedy is a silly dark crazy adventure. This movie is a classic funny movie. If you haven't seen it, give it a try...it'll be a dorky zanie ride! Even my 78 year old dad loved it for laughs, and he's got every ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A True Classic
If you like silly "sick" comedies, movies like "8 Heads In A Duffel Bag" or "Dumb & Dumber," this is the movie for you! I remembered this movie from several years ago, and just had to track it down online! FYI, this is one of the earlier movies by the director of last year's blockbuster, Spider-Man.
