This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Clever satirical comedy. Basically a stream of independent skits. Each skit is a clever parody of everyday life, particularly the media. Screamingly funny.

This movie is mostly a collection of shorts laid over a background of a large parent company taking over a TV news network. The shorts are mostly presented as either TV commercials, public service announcements, or straight news stories. It spoofs a variety of pop culture people and ideas. The humor is ranges from low-brow, to intelligent. With the exception of Steven Seagal, the movie contains a cast of largely unknown folks but is very well acted. I really can't think of any other movie like this other than "Kentucky Fried Movie" (and possibly "UHF," but I haven't seen it). I'd say it isn't as crude as Kentucky Fried Movie, but it has high production values. Definitely worth checking out. And if you liked this one, definitely see Kentucky Fried Movie!

If you like satirical view of the world (or should I say USA..?) today, than you will also like this film. Watching this is like changing channels on cable TV. And it is very entertaining!This is not a typical film, it has several layers which, in the end, somehow, 'blend in'. Advice: do not expect too much, just go and see it - because it offers enjoyable hour and a half; also, it is not a typical comedy which can be seen these days, it is appealing and worth watching.I don't know what do people who say that it is lame or dull (people who write comments here) think that a good comedy is...? 'Onion Movie' doesn't have a typical story line, it doesn't have an important, serious and mind-blowing point; but it is funny and put together in an interesting way. And that's it.

I had no expectations for the quality of this movie, and I was really taken all over the place.The movie starts out GREAT! It really felt like a movie version of the onion articles and stories. I was thinking this would be the greatest skit-based movie since Kentucky Fried Movie......and then it just lost it. Almost in the blink of an eye, the movie goes from witty, satirical, and spot-on to low-brow, off color, and completely underwritten. It's almost as if two very different writers were at work here.If this movie had been condensed to just the good skits and articles, I would've given it an 8 or 9. However, the amount of uninspired unfunny material present in the second half of the film really brings it down.Still a hell of a lot better than the "Epic Movie" series.
