Review of Disco Pigs

Disco Pigs (2001)
4/10
Not for the discerning film watcher
23 November 2006
When making your decision to view Disco Pigs, keep in mind that the 6.3 rating is high for a movie of this quality--check the demographic breakdown! The people who enjoy this movie are teenagers who are just discovering "deep" material (and I certainly credit them for trying rather than wasting their time with The Grudge 2), but the more mature viewer will see that the filmmakers were trying to make a movie with depth, but failed miserably in their task. The overall plot has great potential, but many of the scenes make no sense whatsoever and are poorly conceived. Whether you can understand the characters' accents or not, most of the time you'll be wondering what they're talking about. The wannabe Shakespearean monologues are laughable. I can see the appeal of this movie to teenagers who are starting to watch or read more complex material, but for those who have been enjoying complex works for some time, leave this one alone.
