David Cornelius eFilmCritic.com It's easy to see why nobody wanted to finish The Onion Movie. But why did anybody want to start it? Rated: 1/5 Jul 28, 2008 Full Review Bruce Dancis Sacramento Bee The Onion may continue to thrive as a satirical, fake news Web site, newspaper and publisher of books, but The Onion Movie, a straight-to-DVD release, is a tired sketch-comedy collection. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 13, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Harold C. Raunchy, uneven, and occasionally dated, this sketch-driven satire still finds surprising relevance in today’s world. While not every bit lands, the sharp balance of crude humor and faux-journalistic absurdity keeps the laughs steady, especially in standout segments like Vanessa Cherry’s songs and the Brendan Leroux story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Ollie T The Onion Movie is an absolutely lovely family movie that you should watch with all of your children around. Such hits as Take Me From Behind, Shoot Your Love All Over Me and Down On My Knees were total banger, and the message was also very nice. Capitalism does in fact prevent terrorism! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, a história é fraca e desinteressante, as cenas são fracas, e também não tiveram cenas relevantes e cenas que pudesse melhorar o filme, e o elenco é muito ruim, e ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review William D This is absolutely one of the worst films I have ever seen. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A cinematic masterpiece, nuff said Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review josh m For being just an over the top goofy movie I thought it was quite funny at times. I think we need more outrageous and offensive movies like this so people will start to lighten up and not take everything so seriously. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
