I'm a girl, I'm young, I like "smart movies," (2001 is a masterpiece!) I don't like horror movies or "teenager-oriented" movies (God, that cursed term!)and rarely like "stupid-fun" flicks. But let me tell you, I laughed like madness when I went and saw this movie. Is it a particularly good movie? Well, no. Is it a funny movie? Hell, yes! Lots of people hated this movie, and guess what? Those of us who dug it were laughing at you, too! The whole point was not just to take movies too seriously, but to not take movies seriously at all. It was gory and silly and filled with inane dialogue, but that was intentional. The beginning scene is so overdone (on purpose) that is was hilarious. The actors were all in on the joke, even if some of the audience wasn't. Every last one of them camps it up for all he or she is worth. If you liked the Evil Dead movies but don't hold them sacred, "Idle Hands" is that kind of movie. This movie is, in a way, review-proof. If you liked it, great! If you didn't, too bad, but it wasn't made for you anyway.
