This SHOULD NOT be on the list of the top 100 worst movies. Of course if you're expecting a mind bending , brilliant movie you should look elsewhere. But if you're in a mood to laugh without having to think too hard, this is the perfect movie. It's good for a lazy weekend when there's nothing else to do. The jokes are funny, actings decent, plots borderline stupid , but that just adds to the humor. All these ppl on imdb think they're professional film critics, please. sometimes you just have to laugh at a movie and leave it at that. Good flick.

I think people are forgetting the most important part of this movie. The one thing alone that should keep this movie in every top 10 list. Ween. WEEEEEEEEEEN!

[–] jefthecheff 21 years ago

Poop.

*beep*.

What? I can't believe people actually like this movie. It was a good 5 minute skit. Not exactly something you can sustain for more than an hour. It is really laughable, not funny. Like most SNL movies, this one doesn't hit the mark... unlike most SNL movies, this one misses the target, the wall it is on and the floor as well. I cringe at the thought that I even watched this poop.

WEEN!

Thank you.

I have to say, I agree with the person who posted this. It doesn't deserve to be in the bottom 100, but it's not brilliant either. I think it's hilarious, as many SNL movies are, people just need to lighten up and not be so critical. I think the people who diss almost every movie they see just need to get over themselves... I mean really, how can you enjoy a movie if you're just trying to remember every bad detail.

This movie doesn't suck.
The end.

No, man, WEEEEEEEEENNNNN!!!! They rock, I can't believe their music is not used in more movies. Such a tragedy. If I ever break into the film industry I'm not using any songs unless they are by ween, perhaps I might even make a movie based on their life.

I know! i was so offended...lol this movie kicks so very much ass....

[–] murkythetrout 20 years ago

I've seen this movie twice, and it's definitely the worst movie I've ever seen. I'm not a movie snob, I like a lot of dumb comedies, but this movie was just retarded.

That is your opinion, so dont put down the people that actually like it, maybe you should try to show some good character. Pat is very hilarious if you step outside the box for a minute, so why dont you just not be so uptight and relax and laugh.

A Night at the Roxbury? Come on, that isn't even good on paper; they bob their heads from side to side! To even try to compare it to It's Pat is an insult to humanity.

[–] skippydmb 19 years ago

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. My 8 year old Nephew wouldn't find this funny. Not one bit. I have a list of 453 diseases I would rather have than watch this movie again. Pure crap.

why watch an awful movie twice? juse wondering......

[–] JayCzzzYa 19 years ago

I wouldn’t watch Pat twice...well, maybe, so I can get more evidence to prove that Pat was a girl, who is lesbian and Chris is just an ugly girl.

Anyway, before I start another male/female frenzy in this board let me just say why I didn’t switch the channel when I saw Pat.

Something about Pat intrigued me. At first I didn’t care whether Pat was male or female. From the start I thought Pat was just a weird looking guy. Then as I continued watching, the propaganda in the movie forced me to question Pat's sex.

But when I first watched it, I thought, "oh my god, what a crappy movie. I cant believe they made this" but something about it kept me watching. It was hilarious in a weird way. Like Tom Green. Pat wasn’t this good looking person (neither as male nor female) Pat didn’t have a knock out girlfriend and a variety of friends with different stereotypical characters. Pat had no friends. Just people who were curious. Pat was this person by himself. Completely oblivious of the world around him. Pat was real to himself; Pat didn’t care about what people thought of Pat. Pat was just a 33 yr out slob, with nothing going for him (/her) and didn’t realise how much of a loser he was. If everyone looked at life the way Pat did, I think no one would be sad. We should really try to be like Pat (not disgusting, crude and obnoxious), just love yourself and don’t care what people think of you. Be true to yourself. Towards the end of the movie I got caught up in the "is it a boy or girl" frenzy, but what initially kept me interested in the movie was basically Pat. I wanted to see how Pat lived and what would become of part in the end. And I sort of wanted to see him kick his ass kicked

(EVIL, EVIL, EVIL INSIDE ME! I CANT CONTROL IT! I AM THE DEVIL, NOW KINDLY UNDO THESE STRAPS!! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS ME, THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS ME!))

Sorry, got carried away. I’m crazy, I know.

Anyways, people. Pat is not this Oscar worthy film, but you should watch it. There's something about it. It tells you to be yourself and stop trying to be this perfect individual just to make people happy and people shouldn’t judge you from outside. all what is important is what is in your heart and what's in your heart.

Oh, Pat reminded me of Austin Powers (from part I)...

I liked it for the most part, but I can understand the negative reviews.

It's the fatal flaw of all SNL adaptations: what's funny for 5 minutes doesn't necessarily remain funny for 90 (or 77 in this case). Some films manage to rise above that (Wayne's World), others not so much.
The main problem is that Pat is extremely annoying, but that's just the way Pat is, and you can't really blame the film for accurately portraying an already established character. You probably shouldn't even watch the film if you didn't like the sketches. But I liked the overall story, and of course I loved the obsessive neighbor. Rocket really is the film's saving grace.

Bottom line, I gave it a 5. No way does it deserve bottom 100 status.

"It's Pat" is funny. I laughed out loud at least twice. And I rarely laugh at movies.
