Average Rating:5/10

Consensus: The non sequitur humor of Aqua Teen Hunger Force will surely appeal to its built-in fanbase, but for the uninitiated, the premise wears thin.

Runtime: 87 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE is a cult favorite on the Cartoon Network's late-night animation segment, Adult Swim. The show hits the big screen with the strangely titled AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON... AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE is a cult favorite on the Cartoon Network's late-night animation segment, Adult Swim. The show hits the big screen with the strangely titled AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS, and the plot is as convoluted and nonsensical as the title. Bored, and in hopes of attracting women, Meatwad and Master Shake assemble their second-hand workout machine, the "Insane-o-flex." Frylock steps in to help and discovers it's missing a crucial part--the power chip. They recover the chip, and upon installation launch the machine into its real purpose as a killer robot. This film will be a must-see for hardcore fans of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE, as several of the sub-characters from the series appear in the film. These include the Mooninites, the Plutonians, MC Pee Pants, and Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future. The traits of the three main characters symbolize Freud's three-part structural theory of the psyche: the Ego, Super-ego, and Id--and the concept works as both a feature-length film and as a fun, absurd 15-minute cartoon.

If George W Bush could prove that Saddam Hussein had funded this movie I would reverse my stance on the Iraq War and say that every single civilian casualty was justified.

The Boston cops had it wrong: the promotional gizmos put up in public places to advertise this movie weren't bombs, it's the picture itself that's one.

Crudely animated, tasteless, and totally pointless, which I'm sure the filmmakers would say is the point.

Offers occasional laughs amid a jumble of pop-culture references. Despite its Borat-esque title, don't expect a coherent plot.

A second viewing with a joint in hand awaits to determine if it's the worst movie ever made or a fierce act of movie-film revolution.

A massive collection of absurdist non sequiturs and deadpan pauses, which, depending on your tastes (and possibly your affinity for mind-altering drugs), are either the stuff of comic genius or proof that the world has stopped making sense entirely.

To think we laughed at Boston. Then. They knew a bomb when they saw one.

ATHF can seem brilliantly deconstructive one moment and stupefyingly boring the next -- or to provide a more accurate ratio, it can follow five brilliant seconds with five straight minutes of boredom.

If nothing else, it can lay claim to being the only film in memory that had me in tears of hysterical laughter before the studio logos came up.

It's one thing to catch Aqua Teen in 15-minute increments on TV, but sitting through a feature-length onslaught is an endurance test even for devoted viewers.

The low-rent, patchwork animation wears on the eyes really fast, and most of the comedic dead horses do exactly what dead horses usually do: lie there and rot.

Except for an intriguing opening segment that pits a traditional bunch of movie snacks singing a suggestive jingle pitted against an aggressive punk counterpart, the movie is a bore.

I have never taken an illegal substance; movies have always been my drug of choice, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters was like a big old cinematic acid trip.

Narrative's beside the point in a movie created by two guys who gorge on pop culture's high-fat diet and regurgitate it into something approaching . . . art? Close enough.

It's all as neurotically juvenile as South Park (though not nearly as sharply written and even less well-animated).

Ultimately, the movie will be remembered (if at all) for its guerilla marketing campaign, which the city of Boston took to be a terrorist threat and cost Turner Broadcasting $2 million, more than the cost of making the film.

At one point there is a live chicken on fire, running around the room like, well, a chicken on fire, and that's when I thought: They have no idea what they're doing here.

I didn't feel like I was watching somebody else's idea of a joke; I felt like I was watching somebody else's idea of a nightmare.
