Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This must be one of the most underrated films of all time. I first saw this in 1997 after seeing Heavenly Creatures, a film which many critics have found superior to Fun. However, I found Fun far more impressive than Heavenly Creatures. The acting, camera-work and score are on target. Moving between black and white camera-work to signify the present predicament of its two protagonists, Hilary (Alicia Witt) and Bonnie (Renée Humphrey) in a detention center, and lurid color (the past), the film expertly entangles the viewer in the labyrinthine world of these two murderers. The director manages to portray both girls sympathetically at times only to pull the rug towards the end where the horrific murder is shown. The anti-linear structure is quite ingenious because it never allows the audience to feel superior or all-knowing in our view of the girls. But the horrific reality of the murder makes us question what we have already seen. This is by far Rafal Zielinski best work and proof he could rise above the lowbrow trash he made in the 80s.

This chilling disturbing and in some ways almost funny film deserves 9/10. The color days were used to show how back in the past how Hillary and Bonnie had so much ......well "Fun" in the past hanging out. And The black and white film used it present time how the "fun" they had brought them into trouble. And also being seperated from one another. I saw this movie late one night on Sundance. It had wonderful acting. I loved it and yet was disturbed by it at the same time.Hillary had already told about how she was abused as a kid. And Bonnie was kinda Hyper Active Disorder.Well you know what they say "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!"Why did I not give it a 10/10. I loved everything except....where was the ending? If what i saw was the ending I didnt like it. Give it more UMTH! Than .....whoops cant tell! I say see this movie whenever you get a chance. But you HAVE to see it begining to end. Or else youll miss out on the fun!

I saw this film a while back and parts of the film stick in my mind...i wish i could see it again but its real hard to find. I had to call a bunch of places for this movie.The film is basically about two girl who meet up one day and later kill someone...thats all said in the beginning so i am not giving anything away...I think it has a great performance by Alicia Witt (she will be better know in the future ..Mark my words) and renee humphrey...its in black and white, And basically its about friendship and being a little crazy..i say see the film, is worth it, if you can find it...the picture on the video cover of this film is cool..its alicia witt with a bunch of blood on her face..any picture like that is cool with me!

Fun is part of the Film Festival Rotterdam 1999. It was shown on TV to promote the festival.While zapping I got to see the last 90 minutes, and I found it absolutely gripping. The way Renee Humphrey (Hillary) and Alicia Witt (Bonny) played was refreshingly direct and convincing.The movie makes you think, and after a while the need arises to ask yourself the question, `could this have happened to me?' And I found only one answer: I could have been Hillary.
