Watch So I Married an Axe Murderer For Free

Undescribable Perfection

Sick Product of a Sick System

A Disappointing Continuation

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I have to say how pleasantly surprised I was by So I Married An Axe Murderer. I was admittedly quite dubious about the one-joke premise of the film, and thought that the movie would run out of steam very quickly, so delighted I was to find that Mike Myers and co. had crafted a delightfully charming hoot, filled with some laugh-out-loud comedy moments and a surprisingly warm good-natured heart, which really makes the audience invest fully with the characters. More fool me to think anything less of Myers, comic genius of Wayne's World, Austin Powers, and Shrek fame. When he's not being his affable goofy self, he shows some moments of real emotion and tenderness, working brilliantly opposite the lovely Nancy Travis. Travis was a B-list supporting female actress in the late 80's and early 90's, and she really has the chance to shine here in a sweet but unpredictable performance.Some of the more comedic parts of the film come from Myers also doubling as his own dad, a straight-talking Scot (naturally), some crazy set pieces, and the inspired interplay between the characters, which allows the film to flow more comfortably.The soundtrack too is another great strength of the film. Containing such cool tracks like Two Princes by the Spin Doctors, and the predominantly featured There She Goes by The La's, it echoes the groovy hip vibe of the 90's to great effect and works in marvellously with the stunning panning shots of San Francisco (if you didn't want to go there before you may feel like it after watching this), and the growing romance between Myers and Travis.As for the rest of the cast, all the supporting turns shine, especially a lively performance from Brenda Fricker as Myers' mum, and from Anthony LaPaglia in a humorous role as his friend. There's also some great welcome cameos from the likes of Alan Arkin, Phil Hartman, and Charles Grodin, among others, who mine the comic potential superbly.Overall though, So I Married An Axe Murderer works well as a love story as well as a wild offbeat comedy, and it's that warmth mixed in with some delightful moments of craziness and subtle humour which makes this underrated gem a must-see.

The leading actor has had huge success with characters Wayne Campbell, Austin Powers and Shrek, but this isn't really one of his remembered films, apart from the catchy title. Basically dedicated coffeehouse poet Charlie Mackenzie (Mike Myers) often bases his material on the numerous failed relationships he has had with women, all ending with doing something weird or high paranoia. His Scottish parents, mother May (Brenda Fricker) and father Stuart (also Myers, putting on his Fat Bastard voice), may criticise him for his wrong-doings, but he may have found the perfect girl to end the comments. Meat butcher with a heart of gold Harriet Michaels (Three Men and a Baby's Nancy Travis), and they start going out with hardly any concerns at all. Reports in the newspapers about some murders of newlywed men in the area, and habits of his new girlfriend, get Charlie back in the state of paranoia, and he is not sure he can fully trust his new love. Eventually he settles down and finds it in himself to ask Harriet to marry him, and they do so with no problems, but of course then the murders have some evidence that could indeed have her as the killer. In the end, after so many occurrences that make him, and you the audience, believe she is this axe murderer, it turns out to be her sister Rose (Pulp Fiction's Amanda Plummer), and Charlie is happy to go on as normal, if possible. Also starring Anthony LaPaglia as Tony Giardino, Matt Doherty as Heed, The Great Muppet Caper's Charles Grodin as Commandeered Driver, Phil Hartman as Ranger John 'Vicky' Johnson - Alcatraz Guide, Steven Wright as Pilot and Inspector Gadget's Michael G. Hagerty as Obituary Writer. Myers is alright as the vulnerable loser with amusingly crap poems, I laughed probably more when he was in his other guise, and Travis is okay as the very suspicious girlfriend, the script does have some witty moments to keep you on tenterhooks about the situation, but it's not the funniest film, a slightly silly comedy. Okay!

Sometimes a movie only develops worth after a subsequent movie worked. I myself disliked "Shrek" because of the underhanded attempt to undermine the Disney/Pixar alliance, and the smarmy Bill Gates strategy. But some people did like it, largely because of the voices and key to that was the Scots' version of Shrek. Apparently, several full films were made before Katzenberg accepted the version that Myers eventually made. It is the character he created here. This film is rather unappealing, but you can see the character workshop in front of you, Myers working on something. It isn't quite there. It doesn't make sense here, but it will a few years later.I really adore Plummer. She doesn't get many chances, but boy does she grab the camera with her teeth. Wow.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

Well, let's just say, I don't know if it was one of his best, because he's known throughout the WORLD as Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery. However, like most Canadians, I am proud to say that Mike Myers is one of us, and he has a great sense of humor.This wasn't my favorite Mike Myers role, but it was really funny. Anthony LaPaglia is perfect in this movie as the bumbling cop, it really suits him well. I can't give away the story line, but let me just tell you it has all the right twists and turns.Usually comedies don't have a lot of suspense in them, but this one did, and yes it had me guessing all the way to the end, is she or isn't she? I loved the cameos especially the late, the great, Phil Hartman, being a Saturday Night Live fan, it was really great seeing him in one of his great roles. Charles Grodin is funny as the angry guy in the car, very funny.Anyways, it's a great movie filled with laughs, suspense and of course Mike Myers. I gave this movie a 7 out of 10, because well, it was a pretty good movie, maybe even great, and it had me guessing right up until the very end.
