Reviews for Weirdsville
Top CriticAnarchic and low budget, make sure you take along your bong.

Top CriticIt's wacky, it's zany, it's loopy, it's freaky, it's daffy – but alas, not the most important one, which is "funny".
11/16/07
The paper-thin characters make it feel less like a rounded feature and more like a TV pilot with the promise of more adventures to come.
11/14/07
Top CriticThe script has the substance and the slacker leads have the chemistry, but the execution fumbles the tourniquet, failing to find any rich vein of wackiness.
11/14/07
Only a trio of bungling Satanists prevent it ending up in routineville.
11/16/07
Top CriticIt'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.
11/16/07
Top CriticA quirky, amusing caper that shouldn't work, but somehow does.
11/15/07
Top CriticFunny, well-acted nonsense. The best kind of quirkiness.
11/14/07
Director Allan Moyle travels a quirky road too often trod by aspirant indie pics.
11/14/07
Top CriticA pleasingly gonzo black comedy pitched somewhere between Rosencrantz And Guildenstern Are Dead Stoned and Dude, Where's My Crack?
11/15/07
Top CriticWeirdsville is an enjoyable screwball crime thriller with a witty script, inventive direction and superb comic performances.
11/15/07
Chainmailed flail-wielding midgets chasing Satanists chasing druggies – Allan Moyle has gone for the grown-up panto approach.
11/16/07
This absurd crime odyssey has so much gonzo enthusiasm that it's impossible not to enjoy.

I kept wishing for a rewrite that sent the Satanists packing and pulled the love story hiding within Wennekers’ script to the fore.
10/18/07
Yes, parts of it are actually funny, and there are plenty of giggles throughout, but everything seems like it was done paint-by-numbers.
10/13/07
One of the most unlikable films of the year.
