Watch Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy For Free

Simply Perfect

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

When I first saw this movie I had never seen the TV series, so I didn't have any preconceived ideas about what this movie was going to be like. I belong to a group of people who question the pharmaceutical industry and the premise of the movie appealed to me. Every time I see this film I find new funny details. At my house we have shown this movie to our friends and they all seemed to love it. Each actor portrays several characters and they are very distinctive. I also think the message throughout is important and this movie is worth watching! It's too bad some people didn't like this movie. I think since the movie wasn't heavily publicized it didn't reach the potential but it's a cult favorite in my circle of friends. I'm surprised Scientology hasn't promoted this movie because it portrays psych meds in an unfavorable light.

I was a fan of THE KIDS IN THE HALL. Yeah, sometimes the jokes went a little flat, but so often it was gosh darn funny and always was quick to take a risk or poke fun at nearly anything. Unfortunately, once the series ended, they decided to make a farewell film. In hindsight, they should have just left well-enough alone. Boy, was I disappointed. So often, when TV shows go to the big screen, the basic chemistry and formula that made them great is adulterated--this is truly the case with this film. Instead of being weird and funny, it was only slightly weird and not the least bit funny or entertaining. I would have been much happier if they had just strung together three episodes as the movie, instead.

Holy god! Can comedy get any funnier? I am an absolutely enormous Kids in the Hall fan and although at first this movie didn't strike me as a "Kids" masterpiece like their series was I soon came to realize that the reason I was somewhat disappointed was because I didn't get to see appearances from the legendary "Head-Crusher" or "Buddy" but once I kept watching past the first few minutes and got to catch a glimpse at the classic Don character and of course who can forget Bruce McCulloch as Cancer Boy? So if you don't get to see some classic head crushing bits, what do you get to see? Well, I'm going to answer my own question. You get to see Michael McDonald finding the formula for "happy," Bruce McColloch rockin' out to Happiness Pie and giving us an amazing "Whistle if You're Loved" performance, Mark McKinney playing one of my favorite characters (Don), Dave Foley's awkward moment as the New Scientist, and Scott Thompson dressed up as an old lady spinning around in a giant and pointless testing machine.Probably my favorite scene in the entire movie is Chris Cooper's flash back to his depressed father coming home from working and having trouble shooting himself (which he finally does after 2-hours worth of tries). And then of course there is the kiss shared by Michael McDonald and Bruce McCulloch at the end of the movie.But does this mean that the Kids have strayed away from their roots? Of course not! There is still plenty of cross-dressing, jokes about business men, jokes about Scott Thompson's sexuality, and of course, many absurdly random moments (bird flying into Bruce McCulloch's eye).So if you are a Kids in the Hall fan or a patient diagnosed with depression there is no way you can miss this absolutely hilarious, clever, absurd, and well-written performance by our friends from up North. I can safely say this is classic comedy worthy of Groucho Marx Level praise.WATCH IT!

When I was growing up in the 80's, there were basically three camps of movies that were so incredibly funny that they were legendary among my peers and my generation. Those movies were the Monty Python films (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life), the Mel Brooks classics (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein), and the Airplane! movies. Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy is an awesome example of how funny a movie can be, and I hope that some day more people will see it that way and that it will achieve a cult status as a legend of great comedy. It did terribly at the box office, but that was just some unfortunate oversight. Brain Candy features uncanny wit, rollicking absurdity, hilarious zaniness, immaculately understated social commentary, and some of the best comic performances ever filmed (my personal favorite performances are Mark as Don Roritor and Scott Thompson as the clueless closeted gay guy). I believe that the particular kind of comedy in Brain Candy is not easy to enjoy during the first viewing, which is why you should watch it a few times. When the Kids' masterpiece starts sinking in to your head, you'll start getting a whole lot of laugh-returns on your investment.
