    It had some funny parts, but it wasn't as funny as it was made out to be.

    Ok so it's just a loosely, and worse yet after the fact, thrown together collection of shorts from the website, but still each and every one of them is very funny.

    Some of it were funny, some of it weren't.

    I was kind of expecting a little more subtlety from The Onion writing staff, but all in all this was a damn funny sketch film. There is so much in the world to make fun of, and I think the Onion must have trouble deciding what to choose. The things they left in really were golden...( read more) though, from Nick Chinlund's "nightmarish addiction to life" to the Armed Gunman's rise through the ranks of the working world. I especially liked the dead-on parody of the blatantly sexual imagery and lyrics of pop music princesses. I was surprised by how widely seen this movies is, but it definitely deserves the audience it got.

    The team behind The Onion, a popular satirical newspaper, are the writers of this movie parody. Essentially a scattershot collection of sketches, the "story" concerns a news anchor asked to compromise his journalistic integrity in order to please a corporate sponsor. The...( read more)re are a few genuine laughs, but the gags are mostly hit or miss.

    I adore The Onion, but this was dreadful. I struggled to make it all the way through, but couldn't.

    You know, I have enjoyed The Onion online for years. When they started posting videos, I thought it was still funny but lost something in the new medium. Now, as a movie, I think it really doesn't work.

    There are certainly humourous skits but it lacked cohesion. This would ...( read more)be okay if it was just presenting itself as a series of skits but it tried to actually have a plot. It didn't try hard enough for it to actually work and I'm not sure why they bothered as it would have been better without it.

    My other complaint is the lack of subtlety with the humour. I expected more from The Onion. A lot of the gags were much too predictable.

    I did enjoy the cameos, especially Michael Bolton and I gathered a great term from it - "mighty puncher of cocks."

    This is really an Onion movie, so beware. Bizarre to the B.

    So many negative reviews... what's wrong with your humor people? I couldn't stop laughing!
