Darwin Awards (the movie!)

<< < (2/2)

That is uncanny. I've been thinking about I <3 Huckabees since I posted this thread, but as it's been so long since I last saw that film I haven't been able to figure just why Darwin Awards would remind me of it...

PS. The villain is a poet, if that means anything to you!

This is exactly why I hate the very notion of the Darwin Awards so much.

That description of the film sounds intriguing, though. This year's I Heart Huckabees?

I kept hearing about it during production and later on the festival circuit where it more or less flopped. It's already come out as a direct-to-dvd movie, and you can probably guess how that bodes for quality. The AV Club has a short review of it in its "Direct to DVD Purgatory" feature.

The reviewers description of the Darwin Awards themselves as "condescending one-note hick jokes" just about covers it for me. They always seem to be a big hit among people who like to send you Family Guy clips and gross-out internet memes via cell-phone.

I tried watching it with my friends, it was BAD.

They tried to make it into a faux reality documentary thing.
