The Onion--that gold standard of pitch-perfect news parody publications--brings its distinctly absurd-yet-relevant brand of satire to a hitherto untapped medium: the feature film! When the Onion News Network asks lead anchorman Norm Archer (Lou Cariou) to compromise his journalistic integrity in the name of pleasing a new corporate sponsor, Archer doesn't respond too kindly. Armed with an irreverent sketch comedy-style approach to a loose narrative, THE ONION MOVIE takes aim at everything politics and society have to offer. [More]

It's easy to see why nobody wanted to finish The Onion Movie. But why did anybody want to start it?

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.

At worst, a sketch comedy film, with some much-needed social and political bite, that's far superior to any Saturday Night Live movie. (Only Deleted Scenes and two outtakes suggest how senselessly offensive the movie could have become.)

'The Onion Movie' is something to be appreciated in all its immature, irreverent, and flat-out hilarious glory.
