Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Nicole 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.

adrossan Yet another example of a great idea gone to waste.Patrick Warburton in the monotoned delivery of the hard-bitten private eye noire - what could be better ? Well, apparently even a rock slide would be better than this crapola, which is a total spoiler from the first minute to the last.I watched it from start to finish, like you watch a stage act which goes from bad to worse - you want to look away but something compels you to keep looking.The script must, repeat MUST, have been written by an 8 year old. And his uncle must be a film producer, and his dad a director - how else could this have actually made it to public release ? As I said, I watched every minute of this film, and there was not a single laugh, giggle, snicker, or guffaw in the entire thing. I did let loose an involuntary titter at the final fake gag reel, with the "rogue wave", but that was it.Pure, unmitigated, 100%, grade A, totally and completely garbage, every single line, whisper, look and stance from all the actors.Probably the shame being seen in this drivel was causing the actors to make small movements, so they weren't noticed, and run quickly off-set once their piece was finished.Unfunny, un-clever, very boring, very dull, very dumb, and another huge waste of an idea that really could have gone somewhere and produced a great movie.Flush it away and try & forget it was ever really there at all.

Paul Celano (chelano) First off I will say that the story didn't really have much going for it. So at that point I thought it would be hard to keep myself interested. But there was one thing that no matter what happened in the movie, always had me smiling. It was Patrick Warburton. He is an actor that has a very distinct voice that you will always remember. Every time he talked in the movie, I was laughing. Some of the dialog he used was cheesy, but worked since he had such a funny voice. There were some other interesting characters, but they were not as good. Andy Dick was the so called bad guy. It is hard to like Andy Dick as certain characters. He seemed to fit as this one though. The girl that was working for Warburton was Elaine Hendrix. I didn't like her as the character she was. She was a bit annoying. So overall if it wasn't for Warburton and some of his interesting and funny lines, I am not sure if I would of liked the movie at all.

check123 I can't tell how long it's been since I watched a movie that had me smiling and laughing from the time it began to the end. It was so refreshing to watch this movie because it was just clean fun. The writers skills are exceptional followed by the talented cast. Some names have new meaning to me as I will never think of a Jolly Roger as a piece of boring candy again. I still won't eat a Jolly Roger but I will laugh and smile each time I hear the name. Patrick Warburton performance was outstanding as the dimwit detective Rock Slyde. Andy Dick who played the character Bart the obnoxious cult leader, I had to asked myself was that part written exclusively for him? That answer is yes. Rena Sofer did an awesome job playing the denzel in distress. Elaine Hendrix's performance wonderful as her performance reminded me at times of Miss Wiggins from Carol Burnett. Line after line scene after scene I smiled, giggled, I laughed. The writer hit home with silly things that so many people chose to judge their own self worth by. Rock Slyde in my opinion is a family friendly movie.Well done.

Diesel Trucker "A laugh-out-loud send-up of Hollywood...and the film noir detective genre, "Rock Slyde" starts with what many big Hollywood films lack — a really good and very funny script.Patrick Warburton as Rock Slyde, a cognitively clueless detective whose nose for crime is better than his noggin, was sad eyed, pitch perfect and endearing. Resisting the advances of femme fatale Rena Sofer's delicious Sara Lee because of a childhood spent watching "Soul Train" (but that's another story), Slyde faces down adversary cult leader Andy Dick (Bart of Bartology) to save his holdout office space in the ever-expanding Bartology building and rescue his brainwashed secretary. And if you think that sentence is pointedly pithy, "Slyde" is even more crammed full with over-the-top winks, asides and jokes including a cameo by Jason Alexander as a Jewish U.S. postal carrier enamored of Slyde's turn as an actor in a gay porn musical (but that too is another story)."Rock Slyde" performances, cinematography, original score and songs (if you don't leave the theater singing, "swashbuckle me, swashbuckle, down on your knees," you're probably dead), and script are brilliant and of a piece — a carefully crafted piece that is a testament to creativity on the cheap — brilliance without big budgets.
