Weirdsville

A lot of Canadian film is good, but this is sadly not up to par. There are a few good laughs here and there but it seems like this film was trying to imitate other, better films like Kiss Kiss Bang... Full review

WARNING: This movie is unapologetically Canadian... which, in this case, is a good thing. Especially when this film could have been set in any city, town or village in the world.I expected a low-budget, independent attempt at art. And what... Full review

I absolutely adore this movie. Some friends and I rented it only because there was nothing else in the store and I am so glad we did. It is so random and definitely lives up to its title. I recommend... Full review

It's been a long time since I was in college and encountered stoners as hapless as the heroes of "Weirdsville." The movie takes about 50 minutes to find its groove, but once it does it's quite enjoyable. Beware: the film is... Full review

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.... Full review

In short, Weirdsville is an enjoyable, blackly comic crime thriller that is likely to become something of a cult hit when it hits DVD. The Good Wes Bentley and Scott Speedman make a surprisingly good comic duo, sparking off each other well and managing to keep their characters likeable, despite the fact that they're basically a couple of lowlife losers. ...

Were such wonderful stoner-isms more plentiful, Weirdsville would more aptly live up to the promise of its name.

Moyle shows great control over most of Weirdsville, taking joy in Willem Wennekerss screenplay by submerging the action in accelerated colors and embracing the slapstick nature of it all. Moyle is often caught between the two approaches, leading to many scenes wallowing in pointless soul searching right after a bit of absurdity. ... Full Review
