I liked it, though not as much as I'd hoped. Also, knowing that Chris Penn passed away shortly before the film was released takes some of the humor out his segment.

Uitstekend - Kyk daar is 'n paar tonele wat my op die grong laat kruip het van die lag, maar dis tog ook sad op 'n manier. Winona speel regtig goed, met Fiennes dalk so effens te veel geforseerd. Werk goed op DVD, en is beslis baie goeie medisyne vir 'n lang moeilike week op 'n Vrydagaand. Beslis aan te beveel.

MCT:July 1, 2008This film, though it's ideas don't seem fully-developed, has a lot of heart, seen mostly in the sympathy Joseph Fiennes' character has for his fellow man.

I am a fan of the darwin awards so i thought it was hilarious to see them played out. Wynona was great.

The Darwin Awards was not bad. Interesting cast. Tons of little roles. I laughed out loud a couple of times, so that is always a plus for a comedy. The movie did not seem as funny or squeamish as reading the annual list, but I thought it was a good concept.
Always nice to see Winona Ryder. She will always be the one from Beetlejuice to me. -
MCT:April 30, 2008there are a couple of genuinely funny scenes within this film.but on the whole it is a very flat,badly paced pile of shit.this is mainly due to the characters played by joseph fiennes and winona ryder,they are drippy,unlikeable and boring.the rest of the characters in the film are just moronic,especially david arquettes.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I had never heard of it and it sounded a little silly. It was very entertaining, funny and thought provoking. Joseph Fiennes and Winona Ryder work very well together. Well worth the time to watch it. I highly recommend.

MCT:February 17, 2008Suprisingly great film. It's quirky, its fun, and its camera work, though a bit clusterphobic at times gives it some edge. A dark comedy winner

Very unusual and very fun to watch. The whole point of this movie is to pretty much make fun of the idiots that have seriously injured themselves or killed themselves by being stupid. Many laughs are in your future if you watch this.

hHis movie was really funny! He had me laughing the whole way though and did a great job at showing just how stupid some people can be.
-
MCT:January 5, 2008Interesting idea for a movie, but cheesy dialog. The highlight was a live performance by Metallica which is the only reason I give it two stars rather than one. Ryder's below average acting only added to the disappointment. I struggled watching this to the end.

It was fun to watch how the unbelievably insane accidents are created by the people. Our guy here has a keen eye for spotting the dots and connecting them to make a complete story, but it does seem to escape logic sometimes. But the movie is definitely entertaining.

OK, I admit I've had a mini Winona Ryder lovefest going on lately (have seen Heathers and The Ten as well lately), but, I mean, it's Winona Ryder people, come on!
This film is just plain funny, and the chemistry between Fiennes and Ryder is great for a black comedy.
Valderrama also adds comedy as a documentary filmmaker following Fiennes' character around -
MCT:December 8, 2007The appearance of Metallica was awesome!!! Thought the part of the movie with the two concert goers at the Metallica concert was really funny as well as the 15 seconds at the very end!!! The rest... ok. For a dark comedy it could have been better.

A giggle a minute XD
Great ensemble cast and hilarious - TRUE - scenarios. Don't believe me? Check out the Darwin Awards website.
A must see movie for anyone who's ever had a fear of slipping over in the bath tub XD -

A funny and quirky dark comedy, strange and sometimes annoying, but is quite enjoyable to watch. Not something to watch in the cinema maybe (I didn't even heard about it) but worth renting the video. Joseph Fiennes gave a good take on the main character who is annoying but endearing.
Cameo performance includes Metallica and Jamie and Adams from Mythbusters. -

The Darwin Awards are given to those who improve the gene pool by accidentaly removing themselves from it in outrageous and clumsy ways. Joseph Fiennes and Wynona Ryder do a great job trying to figure out why. If you don't smile at anything else, you'll love Fiennes swinging in the shower - guaranteed.

A little weird and some things seem to be to lamely making fun of X-Files. But there are many aspects that make it very much worth watching- casting for one thing. And the scene with Joseph Fiennes taking a bath is the deciding factor that it is worth watching.

amusing, but i thought there would be more "Darwin Award" Stories involved.... i've actually read the books and i would have liked to see more, but this movie was still entertaining

If you like your comedy black and have any idea about what 'The Darwin Awards' are, then you will love this adaptation. This is only a handful of the stories that the 'Awards' have to offer, but they are the classics. Winona Ryder is actually really good and the appearance of Metallica made me smile. Really dark, but also quite funny. The subpots are disposable, but the cases are great! Give it a chance.

MCT:October 17, 2007HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (BY gary) Flixster's summation: "A forensic detective (Fiennes) and an insurance claims investigator (Ryder) trek to investigate a potential Darwin Award winner. From www.darwinawards.com: "The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of...( read more ) the human genome by honoring those who accidentally kill themselves in really stupid ways."

Plain, dull tale purportedly about the stupid ways people remove themselves from the gene pool but can't resist crowbarring in a romance and serial killer. A starry cast must have been attracted by the premise but only Ryder has any spark.
