Great For Halloween Laughs,
First of all, this movie is not to be taken seriously. I saw some bad reviews and it is like some people tried too hard to get it. There is really nothing to get. It is just a good horror/comedy perfect for watching with some friends on Halloween. It is funny, gory, sexy and at many points in the film it is down right stupid but that is exactly what it is meant to be. The movie is meant to be just a Halloween laugh and I guarantee you will enjoy it if you just don’t expect much to begin with. Try it….the price is right.

|Dumber and Dumbest, but funny.,
I fully agree with the Amazon reviewer’s opinion that the movie is just an excuse to string together silly gags and gross-out gore. I’m not sure that makes it a horrible film. Hey, Dead Alive and Evil Dead, classics of the genre, are built from the same formula. They do it smarter and funnier, but Idle Hands is not without its charms.
You’ve got the Seth Green factor (I’d watch Spiceworld II: The wrath of Ginger if he was in it), the Dexter from Offspring getting slaughtered factor, the giant-fan-as-teen-blender factor, the Vivica Fox as martial arts demon hunting babe factor, the scantily clad Jessica Alba factor.
In other words, you’ve got your funny, you’ve got your bloody, and you’ve got your sexy, all in one cheesy package. If the ending wasn’t so horrifically bad, I’d give this one five stars (Some DVDs have the original ending, which I haven’t seen). It ain’t Citizen Kane, but you know that already. If you’re a fan of the genre — B comedy-horror flicks — this is a worthwhile entry.

|Totally out of character for me,
For a straightedge, hardworking high school student, this is an odd movie to be considered my favorite. But I absolutely love it. I bring it to people’s houses and parties all the time b/c it’s a great movie that a whole bunch of people can watch and automatically like. Bringing a scary movie to a party is always bad b/c you get the people that are scared to death when someone so much as says, “Boo,” and you get the people that always fold their arms, roll their eyes, and say, “That was supposed to be scary? This movie’s so dumb.” Comedies aren’t always a hit at parties either, b/c you get people who don’t understand the jokes and people who think it cramps their style to laugh at something that really is funny. Idle Hands is gory, violent, and hilarious. It’s creepy w/o trying to scare the daylights out of you and falling short. It’s so incredibly “out there” and weird that you can’t help but laugh. Basically it’s one of those movies that you can’t take seriously, or you won’t enjoy it. If you’re one of those people that analyzes the acting and plot and all that, don’t watch this. This is a movie that you watch just for laughs.
