Critics Consensus

Though it can be confusing at times, Weirdsville is funny and quirky in equal measure.

Anthony Quinn

Independent (UK)

It's wacky, it's zany, it's loopy, it's freaky, it's daffy - but alas, not the most important one, which is "funny".

Rated: 1/5

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Allan Moyle's stoner heist movie is a meandering dud.

Guardian

It's pretty amusing stuff - though it could have been a lot funnier if they had resisted the temptation to shoehorn in quite so many plot twists.

Rated: 3/5

Las Vegas CityLife

If there was more vision on the front end, with more thought put into shot composition and less adherence to trendy, attention-deficit filmmaking, Weirdsville might have been an innovative indie gem

Neither as funny nor as serious as it ought to be.

Chainmailed flail-wielding midgets chasing Satanists chasing druggies - Allan Moyle has gone for the grown-up panto approach.

When a pair of stoners (Scott Speedman, Wes Bentley) decide to bury the body of a friend (Taryn Manning) who has overdosed in the basement of an abandoned drive-in theater, they interrupt a group of Satan worshippers in the midst of a human sacrifice. From there, things get weird. Welcome to Weirdsville. While the chemistry between the three leads feels real and there are some clever laughs, the movie is filled with too many improbable coincidences, a parade of ridiculous incidents to advance the story, and a bunch of characters too bizarre to be believed, including a posse of dwarfs equipped with medieval weapons. To further compound the aforementioned issues, the movie is edited with a seizure-inducing style at times. While Weirdsville had some potential, it just seems as though things were taken too far. Again, welcome to Weirdsville.

I was expecting a little more weird from this movie . What I ended up with is a couple junkies in debt scheming plans to make it right with the dealer . That and sprinkle in a dead hooker and satanic cult . Fun movie . 3.1

Two junkies, who are planning a safe heist to pay off the mobster they owe $8000, clash with Satanists when they interrupt a ritual while burying an overdosed friend. At times this stoned black comedy from the director of PUMP UP THE VOLUME flirts with BIG LEBOWSKI-esque greatness, but some questionable contrivances and forced quirkiness put it in the merely entertaining range.

Just like the title, go into this movie expecting something different. I was surprised how well it was done and from not hearing about it it was really funny. In my taste anyway.
