Review of Weirdsville (2007) by Laurence C — 07 Mar 2008

Weirdsville is intoxicating fun. While it starts off awkwardly and hits a considerable number of false notes along the way, the numerous WTF touches in the screenplay only render the film more entertaining.

Of course, the point here is not to stage a thoughful, let alone coherent film-- far from that. Director Allan Moyle also shows remarkable flair for vibrant, colorful images, which helps making his junkies-gone-wild 90-minute chase infinitely more tolerable.

The cast, particularly the excellent male leads, embraces the exquisite silliness of the story and deliver spiky performances. I can spit out a hundred reasons why someone wouldn't like Weirdsville-- but I can spit a thousand ones why I really did.
