Where is Everbody?!?! (Plus my opinion of the movie)

Just saw this, and really enjoyed it. Whilst not perfect, it was certainly worth the entry fee, and unique enough to ensure that it'll eventually achieve cult status. What confuses me is that with The Mighty Boosh being so popular; where are all the comments on this board?!

Anyway, it was very good. I'm really glad that it didn't play out like a feature length episode of 'The Boosh' (even though that would be fantastic...), instead heading off in a slightly more honest direction. The lead actors played their parts brilliantly. Not for a moment did I hanker for Noel and Julian, even though I expected to. They are different characters, the film has a different tone, and even the comedy is different to that of the Mighty Boosh. Surreal, funny, and strangely meloncholy; I think it's a gem, and the most inventive film I've seen in years (If you don't include 'Synecdoche, New York'). I especially adored the clockwork fairground, and if people aren't quoting the script ad nauseum shortly, I'll cut off my right testicle.

I love Synecdoche. Haven't seen this, but will because it's playing in the Odeon near here.

Glad you liked it, always good to see low budget movies with fans.

I however just couldn't get into it. It started out OK, and I hoped it would pick up. Unfortunately it did the opposite and got sillier and sillier. When the chick repeated 'are you trying to face *beep* me?' over and over, I wanted to quit. When they meet the foreigner who makes love to dogs, and they made a bet about the stuffed bear that he wanted to have sex with, I was pretty done.

I hung in until just over the hour mark (as long as I could), only to be more and more disappointed with what I was seeing. While very visually unique, it was lots of cliche road trip & 'one is square and one is dirty talking' moments that we've seen a million times before... a 6.0 or so in my opinion.

In-film effects > CGI

Good acting and camerawork... But I never laughed once. A lot of the dialogue was like elementary school half-wits talking.

I liked how visually inventive it was. Didn't think it was funny, not sure if it was supposed to be.

It felt like a cheap rip-off of The Science Of Sleep. I wasn't keen on the actor who played Stephen, the Spanish girl was even worse. The actor who played Bunny was quite funny but the film just didn't do it for me.

TheBeardedWonder quote: "When the chick repeated 'are you trying to face *beep* me?' over and over, I wanted to quit."

I did too...am I not getting the joke here? I thought maybe it was a translation thing, her being Spanish. I didn't get it.

"When they meet the foreigner who makes love to dogs, and they made a bet about the stuffed bear that he wanted to have sex with, I was pretty done. "

I should have watched this film with you, we would have probably turned it off then! :) Of course, I see things through to their depressing end, which this one had. Once I start a movie, I try to finish it. I was hoping the end would be more like the beginning of the movie.

I don't think many Boosh fans would comment because this movie isn't that funny. It is in a different category. Though on the DVD box it had comedy quotes about how funny it was. I got it from the library for free. I watched it. I am not out anything but my time. :)

no laugh out loud moments for me but still a great movie that touches on trying to get over something traumatic. it was nice to see paul king do his own thing. that rhymed. and i felt all the flashbacks and hallucinating were from stephen's perspective. kind of fitting for an agoraphobic and a hoarder to view everyone else to be aggressive, offensive, odd-looking, super extroverted and just down right weird, and also for him to be the most calm or responsible one in almost every situation.
