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

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 Audience Member If you're looking for deep, go somewhere else. But this movie is better than your "Scary Movie" comedy. Even though production was plagued, this movie still kept me onboard the whole time. I laughed a lot and have quoted this movie with the same frequency I quote any underdog classic. Shut your brain off and laugh. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member An excuse to read out and visualise The Onion headlines? A late addition to the now all-but-dead anthology comedy? A spoof commentary on the creeping corporate influence on American media? A massive middle finger to the audience? Pretty much all of the above. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A series of sketches formed into a movie, or a movie written as a series of sketches. Who cares? It is funny, biting, satirical and doesn't give a damn about what you expect from a PC film. It is a real side splitter! P.S. Political, geographical, general knowledge required. If you are below average intelligence you might miss some of the jokes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
