Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
occupation_foole I really like the the kids in the hall show but this movie is not funny at all. I thought that because the guys that were in kids in the hall were in it and because they wrote it that it would be hillarious but it was really boring. If they do make another movie I hope that it is nothing like this one. I would not recommend this movie to anybody.
bendertherobot2007 I thought this was a great movie, but I had to watch it twice in the same night to get it. I think to like this movie, you defenately have to be a Kith fan. You might enjoy it even if you aren't a kith fan, but you might get the humor better if you are. I liked the characters, especially Cisco and Greivo. I'm glad they didn't have too many recurring characeters because I like to see more bizzare characters they could come out with. 9/10
zentoaster When I was growing up in the 80's, there were basically three camps of movies that were so incredibly funny that they were legendary among my peers and my generation. Those movies were the Monty Python films (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life), the Mel Brooks classics (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein), and the Airplane! movies. Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy is an awesome example of how funny a movie can be, and I hope that some day more people will see it that way and that it will achieve a cult status as a legend of great comedy. It did terribly at the box office, but that was just some unfortunate oversight. Brain Candy features uncanny wit, rollicking absurdity, hilarious zaniness, immaculately understated social commentary, and some of the best comic performances ever filmed (my personal favorite performances are Mark as Don Roritor and Scott Thompson as the clueless closeted gay guy). I believe that the particular kind of comedy in Brain Candy is not easy to enjoy during the first viewing, which is why you should watch it a few times. When the Kids' masterpiece starts sinking in to your head, you'll start getting a whole lot of laugh-returns on your investment.
gtrboy77 The first time I saw this movie, I thought it was sort of stupid. But then my roommate and I were drinking one night and started watching it again, and it was hilarious. After that, we started watching it every time we drank together. Eventually, ever line in the movie turned into one of those cool lines we'd say to each other in public that only we knew (or fans of the movie knew) what we were talking about. Today, I can watch the movie drunk or sober and still laugh my ass off through the whole thing even though my wife can't stand to watch it. So if you have a weird sense of humor, or you're just bored or drunk, this is a great movie to watch many times over and over. It's a classic!
