AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
slake09 Weirdsville follows two junkie friends as they careen through a night of excess and oddities. The main problem with it is that all the weird situations feel contrived, like someone without much imagination sat around trying to think of weird things. It doesn't have the bizarre, what-comes-next edge of a Tarantino or Lynch movie; each time something happens that is supposed to be weird, it's just banal.The acting, production and other aspects of the movie are fine; it's the script that suffers from a lack of weirdness. No doubt it sounded funny on paper.The movie is watchable and better than a lot of films I've paid more to see. It's just that the synopsis and title misled me; I was expecting some really strange turns to the plot and all I got were midgets and dope fiends.
greensider It's just wonderful to see how three best friends wind up in a story that's just so complicated and poetic. I was amazed by the outcome of every situation and I think there should be more movies like this one. Even the music was perfect for the movie. I also really like it when the makers put something useful to know in the movie and in this one, they certainly did, but what I liked most is that the piece that the mouse (or rat) played in the story, without it, the movie would have been less meaningful and I think it's really great that people can come up with these things to put in their movie which completes it ... without it, the film wouldn't have been the same. ... great piece of work
AudioFileZ The most positive thing I can personally say regarding Weirdsville is that I did at least keep watching until the end. That said, I just as soon wished I had used the time for something more rewarding. I felt the movie though stylish and reasonably well produced just fell flat in both story and humor.Classic stoner flicks suck us in in spite of the fact most of us do not actually identify with stoners. I mean a good movie of the stoner genre is wickedly funny and built around likable stoner buddies, i.e., Cheech & Chong, Harrold & Kumar, Bill & Ted...et.al. In Weirdsville I never felt a like for Dex & Royce particularly. They were in a predicament that had them racing against time to come up with money (reminded me of The Blues Brothers). They were being chased by several different "nut jobs" (like the Blues Brothers). The ensuing situations just were not especially funny (NOT like the Blues Brothers which was uber-hilarious).Granted I'm not the primary audience this flick is aimed at, I mean I'm 48. However, I know a good stoner flick when I see it and this misses the mark. Simply put, not awful by any means...Just not good enough to recommend.
Jonny_B_Lately Haven't we had enough stuff blowing up, massive body counts, and hilarious yet disturbing dysfunctional families yet? I have! Thankfully there are directors like Allen Moyle who have no problem telling a strange little story sprinkled with junkies, a burn out hippie with a head wound, Satan worshipers, talking mice, winking gnomes, and a drug dealers with strange accent who likes to curl (that sport with a big stone a brooms) in his spare time.You just don't know where this film is going most of the time, yet it's easy to follow. Oh sure the protagonists come out on top in the end just as one might expect. And an explosion caused by oxygen alone is highly unlikely, but it's still damned entertaining. Virtually every character is inept, even the drug dealer and his muscle, but they all (well most all) muddle through somehow.Not so special scenery (Canada in winter *yuck*), but it's not needed the fine cast of characters and odd little story carry the film...beautifully. And the "good guys" win, the bad guys don't, and (almost) everyone lives happily ever after.But what the heck. It's the way it's done.
