Customer Reviews

Strange but funny
"Snide and Prejudice" falls into a difficult movie category: dark, satiric comedy -- but some people may find its subject matter more disturbing than funny. This unsettling film may remind you of a satirical comedy like "Dr. Strangelove".... although "Snide and Prejudice" is far stranger, or at least strange in a different way, than that Stanley Kubrick classic.
In addition to the movie, the DVD contains a good assortment of special features. Don't miss the "director's commentary" audio track in which director Phillipe Mora discusses the film with the characters of Cohen and Michael/Hitler, with Auberjonois and MacFayden recreating their roles -- the resulting conversation is fascinating and very, very funny!
If you are interested in an unusual movie experience, I recommend "Snide and Prejudice." It may upset you, and it may make you laugh -- and it also may make you think.
