MCT:September 20, 2008Nothing is more bizarre than Canadian cinema. This movie has everything you could ask for -- Satanists, drug abusers, a drug dealer who threatens people with curling rocks, a terribly planned caper, garden gnomes and a dwarf medieval re-enactment troupe. Hilarious, absurd and a lot of fun.

The satanists are such pussies...just that alone is hilarious and then on top of that...there are midget vikings...they couldn't lose when they made this flick

Really funky, off beat comedy about two go nowhere junkies trying to pull of a heist, dodge a cult of Satan worshippers, and just get there shit together. Shot in my hometown of Brantford, ON it's amazing how the made the downtown look like a slum haha. Overall a very cool, witty film.

MCT:June 7, 2008A strange dark stoner comedy that tries hard but, in the end isn't all that funny. The plot jumps around too much and is also, unnecessarily confusing at times.
-
MCT:June 7, 2008This movie has a really bad script. The characters make numerous dumb choices. This movie also fails at trying to be funny. Definitely avoid this one.

From the director of "Pump Up The volume", one of my alltime favourite films comes this bizarre stoner comedy which is interesting but ultimately a failure

This is a funny and atmospheric dark comedy; it's NOT a horror remake of the classic "Race With the Devil" - it shares two plot incidents, but that is it.
This movie has the gritty indie feel, and since it's Canadian, I'm guessing that the "Trailer Park Boys" series was a big influence for this movie as well as some characters and the set design aesthetic are similar.
This is a "drug adventure" movie as its creators describe it. And that's damn exact. This movie is funny (so rare) and light yet loaded and morose as well. Great indie flick.
NOTE for "Good Stoner Movies" list: This movie is not a strict marijuana movie; the characters are junkies without boundaries and they consume a variety of hard drugs, but they occasionally relax with a joint. -

Interesting Canadian indie flick roping in Satanists, midgets, druggies and Max Headroom.
A bit disjointed but mindless fun nonetheless. Worth the rent for the cry of "Double-doubles are on me!" -

This was a good and really trippy dark comedy. In a weird way I think this movie will make you feel better about yourself. lol

i really dont know what i was expeting when i was planning on watching this. not even after reading the sonopisis... i was expecting something really really funny but i didnt that. ok there was some laughs but no where near enough. but i was a enjoyable film. but what i needed is more Taryn Manning in it. i did like the main guys but wes bentley looked 2much like noel fielding for me and thus made me feel like i was watching a long mighty boosh sketch without the jokes, but its a ok watch i guess...

MCT:March 11, 2008A Must See Movie,exspecially when your in a bad mood,or depressed it will pull you out of it. It has everything from gore to suspense to have you roaring in laughter. I really liked this movie alot,THANKS DAVE for suggesting it to me!

A movie that strikes out to be the new TRAINSPOTTING, BOTTLE ROCKET, ect type of movie, but fails under its own "cleverness." I got through about a third of this one and shut it off....that should say something.

Weirdsville is intoxicating fun. While it starts off awkwardly and hits a considerable number of false notes along the way, the numerous WTF touches in the screenplay only render the film more entertaining. Of course, the point here is not to stage a thoughful, let alone coherent film-- far from that. Director Allan Moyle also shows remarkable flair for vibrant, colorful images, which helps making his junkies-gone-wild 90-minute chase infinitely more tolerable. The cast, particularly the excellent male leads, embraces the exquisite silliness of the story and deliver spiky performances. I can spit out a hundred reasons why someone wouldn't like Weirdsville-- but I can spit a thousand ones why I really did.

A somewhat fun trip if you just go along with it. It's not as weird or strange as it thinks it is, but that's OK.

This feels like it's meant to be a dark comedy, but it isn't very funny. It's also a little slow. Still, there's an interesting story here with moments of quippy dialog.
It's really not so weird as the title suggests - unless you think midgets are weird. The weirdest thing about this film is that a cell phone that had been submerged in a hot tub works perfectly.
It reminds me of Go, but with more midgets and less excitement. Honestly I was hoping for something closer to Doom Generation. Weirdsville was slow, meandering and pointless. It's not terrible, but it's not good either. -
MCT:February 26, 2008Sounds twisted - sorry it piqued my curiosity, which will ironically probably be the death of me LOL

A movie that's straight-up (out of the box). I say that, because it's so strange and really, like a microcosm, if a junkie was freaking out in the middle of a public place, fascinating.
So, two losers owe a drug dealer some money. He gives them a job: sell some drugs. Right? (wrong) The "ideas man" of the two blows through the stash with his prostitute girlfriend, who has unfortunately OD'd. The two friends have a light-bulb moment, and decide to bury the girl at a deserted drive-in. This, unluckily for them, is where they meet the devil worshipers. And yes, it just keeps getting funner. No, seriously. It does.
Weirdsville just happens to be one of those off-the-beaten-path sort of movies that you wouldn't normally pick up, but take it from me, it is well worth the trip. -

A strange place to find yourself.
Or maybe the town we all live in? I didn't know much about this comedy going into it, but I found myself laughing at just some of the off the wall dialog and crazy situations going on! As it turned out, it was a pleasant surprise! You have everything from stoner comedy to devil worship to a gang of midgets! This maybe the 2000's version of Bill and Ted or Harold and Kumar? But somewhere in the middle. Now we have Dexter (the silent type) and Royce! (the idea man) Scott Speedman as Dexter and Wes Bentley as Royce are absolutly hilarious together! These actors show theres more to them then there last movies and ther both excellent in this and totally out there! Particularlly Bentley who after Ghostrider I was totally giving up on but he redeems himself in this! And he totally looks like a 70's porn star with his fu manchu stashe! Particularly funny is Raoul Bhaneja as Omar the drug dealer who has some of the most hilarious dialog and I'm still trying to descide what accent that was! Somewhere between pimp slang and Indian! And honorable mention goes to Greg Bryk as the leader of the satanic worshiping yuppies. He's overdramatic in all the right parts! And director Allan Moyle does a good job of keeping the pace going and not slowing down and letting us get bored and his use of music is spot on and really helps convey a feeling in any scene where the music is front and center, which isn't a great surprise conscidering Moyle made one of the benchmarks in teen angst and music Pump Up the Volume! Maybe not a great comedy, by any stretch of the imagination but it kept me laughing!
Omar: Gary, okay, look. I did not say kick him in the shins, did I? No. I said break his leg. That means you take a sledgehammer and you hit right above the knee until you hear a sound, and that sound is like a rifle going off. A crack, okay? If he continues to fuck with us, you tell him I'll go over there personally and cut off his thumbs.

"One little satanic ritual. Is it too much to ask"
...............................................................This is a whole lot of Kooky fun, with a title that more than sums up the shenanagans going on in the movie.
Everything is a little off kilter and prediciting anything that's coming next is a near impossible task. The dialogue is fast and fun, the characters are well put together with Speedmen and Bently heading up on fine form. Such a good double act that seem to be having lots of fun bouncing off of each other.
This is all fairly typical for this type of genre. Kinda like the recent "Big nothing" with simon pegg. Snappy, fun and full of character but somethings there holding it back from being truly great.

Reminds me of "Harold and Kumar go to white castle". Not so much because of the fact that two stoners drive around in a car looking for something but rather that it's pretty boring most of the time. Has some really funny scenes though. Cool music as well.

Surprisingly good, and not at all the stoner comedy I'd assumed it to be. Instead it's a dark comedy which actually manages some surprising and original laughs. It's a bit slow on occasion, but otherwise a solid movie.
