  Strangers With Candy is a decent comedy. The film boasts a decent cast as well. Strangers With Candy has some laughs here and there, but as a good comedy, it never succeeds at being anything other than decent. I felt that the films weakness was that it tried to hard at making you laugh, for me a comedy should be effortless at making you laugh. Strangers With Candy is funny, but at times the jokes fall flat and are boring. The film does make you laugh, but by the films end, you realize that this film could have much better. There was a good cast of comedic talent at work here, and I'm actually quite surprised that this was the best they could do. The results are decent and there is nothing really great about the film. I thought that the film was fairly forgettable, and is the type of film that you need to see only once. This is not a film that demands repeated viewings. Stephen Colbert was the funniest aspect of this film, and he definitely made the film a bit more watchable. But like I said, the film is decent and has a few good laughs, but the film takes its time to build up, and keep the laughs moving along. This film had so much potential, however half the way it's very boring. Worth watching once, and you can forget about it, there's nothing really effective at work. This is simply a decent film that could have been much better than this.

  Ewww...kay. This is a movie where a bunch of action I don't care about is held together by characters I really don't like. Amy Sedaris is a pretty good actress and more power to her for happily obliterating her natural beauty with frumy makeup, but the character she created isn't worth watching. She's boring, vain, flippantly cruel, self-centered and stupid. Every main character - the ones you're supposed to pay attention to - are all horrible people, and the only ones that aren't are only there to get treated like hell for comedic value. This just does not float my boat.

  Funny and a good film to watch, Strangers With Candy, however presents a weak script, despire the great gags and the plot. Amy Sedaris, too, help a lot the sucess and the comedy of the film.

  Colbert is hilarious, too bad there is other people in it.

  A pretty disappointing movie that came from a truly hilarious show. It didn't capture the feel of the show and felt really obligatory. A second viewing takes some of the sting out of the unmet expectations you're sure to have if you compare the movie to the show. Some of the connections between the show and the movie just don't happen but if you can let it go you may enjoy this--some of which is genuinely hilarious.

  It started out as an ok movie and then quickly plummeted into a boring comedy with few laughs. Colbert was the only bright spot in this painful to watch film.

• Aaron N

  
  A very funny movie. Made better by all of the actors playing their characters and the situations straight. It's too bad this wont reach a large audience, because it is very funny.

• Joey N

  
  This movie was ALOT funnier than I expected. Some of it can be a little grating, but there are pleanty of laughs to be had.

• Sunil J

  
  Jerri Blank apparently doesn't learn lessons like normal people but this movie is just as entertaining as the show.

• Jason S

  
  Still really funny in parts but the television series was much funnier. Amy Sedaris is a riot!

  I have been meaning to check out the TV show, so when the film came out on DVD I immediately picked it up. What I ended up with was a deliciously bizarre, well acted comedy which, unfortunitely, never quite goes as far as it could to push the envelope, offend and just plain old mistify with its off-the-wall humor. The film pokes fun at the conventions of the teen film, but it is not a spoof. It exists in a universe by itself and you will either be into it or not. I most certainly was, though I feel the film played it too safe at times. Fans of Stephen Colbert, black humor and independent comedy will find plenty to like here. I did, and seeking out the show all the more eagerly.

  Unbeleivable weird.

  Very odd - almost fell asleep through it, but I seen it to the end. I think they could have gotten another actress to play the lead.

  Felt like a giant episode of the show. Oh did I mention I could never stand watching the show?

• Robert F

  
  The series was flat out one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. The movie however was a little disappointing. Many of the jokes were taken straight from the series. Sarah Jessica Parker was quite good in her short cameo though. I still love Amy Sedaris.
