Audience Member The "best" thing about this movie is its alternate title - "I Dismember Mama". Otherwise, it is a bit of a snoozefest that is creepy in the wrong kind of way. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member may she rest in pieces! zooey hall at his best! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member gets a star for the awesome movie title gr8 play on the 1948 classic Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A cheese feast with some cool digs for Albert--Psycho's obsession with purity and virgins!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member AH the 1970s. When mommy obsessions and women hating were still shocking. Or something. This movie is twisted because the whole thing is just unrepentent. Zooey Hall is so creepy and not just because his left ear looks like a deformed piece of baloney, but b/c there are guys you know who have the same creep factor in their speech patterns and twisted world view. All rich kids usually. The whole little girl kidnap aspect is just soooo uncomfortable. Made worse by the sympathetic theme music and perfect day montage. I guess they might have been going for a whole BEN jive, but sweet satan, this is a woman killer/potential child rapist the soundtrack is wah wah wah pedaling about. GROSS. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Much like Three on a Meathook and Chopping Mall, the title is the best part of the movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
