Customer Reviews

Dumber and Dumbest, but funny.
I fully agree with the Amazon reviewer's opinion that the movie is just an excuse to string together silly gags and gross-out gore. I'm not sure that makes it a horrible film. Hey, Dead Alive and Evil Dead, classics of the genre, are built from the same formula. They do it smarter and funnier, but Idle Hands is not without its charms.

You've got the Seth Green factor (I'd watch Spiceworld II: The wrath of Ginger if he was in it), the Dexter from Offspring getting slaughtered factor, the giant-fan-as-teen-blender factor, the Vivica Fox as martial arts demon hunting babe factor, the scantily clad Jessica Alba factor.

In other words, you've got your funny, you've got your bloody, and you've got your sexy, all in one cheesy package. If the ending wasn't so horrifically bad, I'd give this one five stars (Some DVDs have the original ending, which I haven't seen). It ain't Citizen Kane, but you know that already. If you're a fan of the genre -- B comedy-horror flicks -- this is a worthwhile entry.

Great For Halloween Laughs
First of all, this movie is not to be taken seriously. I saw some bad reviews and it is like some people tried too hard to get it. There is really nothing to get. It is just a good horror/comedy perfect for watching with some friends on Halloween. It is funny, gory, sexy and at many points in the film it is down right stupid but that is exactly what it is meant to be. The movie is meant to be just a Halloween laugh and I guarantee you will enjoy it if you just don't expect much to begin with. Try it....the price is right.

"look at me im leathaface"
dont care what anybody says about this movie, I liked it and enjoyed it. it mixes comedy and gross out death that is awesome. Devon Sawa(Final Destination, Little Giants) finds out that his parents( one of them played by Fred Willard) are dead and that a psycho killer is on the loose, which points to Sawa after he kills his two best friends Seth Green(Rat Race, Party Monster) and Elden Henson("O", She's All That). then they come back to life as zombies and help Sawa with his problem, so then Sawa kills some cops and then cuts off his hand (like in Evil Dead 2) and then his hand ecapes and starts killing people. Sawa trys to save Jessica Alba(Honey, Dark Angel) and Vivica A. Fox(Kill Bill Vol.1, Batman and Robin) is the woman who knows about the possession of his hand because it spreads. also in the cast is Jack Noseworthy(Event Horizon, Alive) who falls in love with Fox. good romp with some funny moments. the band The Offspring appears at the Halloween dance and the lead singer gets the top of his head ripped off
