11/28/2011 interesting doc but be warned the center of this doc is a REAL weirdo See more 11/05/2011 Boring. Not funny. Netflix calls this a comedy. It's not. See more 02/09/2011 i thought it was hilarious and i got to meet the director and he was hilarious. he know his stuff. he tip toes on the line between documentary and full on comedy and he does it perfectly. See more 06/03/2010 Despite my tendency to support independent films which engage with eccentric personalities and activities, this film presents only a series of cliches. These characters are all familiar from other mock-documentaries and the structure, music, and narration of the film is amateurish and unoriginal. This is indie for the masses posing as high art. Of course, worst of all is that the film mocks its subjects--birds, birders, eccentrics, and small town life--instead of engaging with them with any real depth. I really wanted to like this movie, but it was unlearned, cruel, and boring. See more 09/29/2009 Beyond the story of a man looking for a purpose in life, or a once forgotten bird attempting a comeback, Woodpecker is also a story about perception versus reality. See more 11/16/2008 Was passable as a one-note, but careens horribly off the rails when our protagonist becomes the butt of the joke instead of its vessel. For a longer rant on why Archie Bunker, Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute and Frank Burns work and Woodpecker and The Foot Fist Way do not, call me. See more Read all reviews
