Review of Idle Hands

Idle Hands (1999)
6/10
A Little Too Gory, But Still Funny
24 September 1999
I finally watched this on video, and found it extremely amusing with several laugh-out-loud moments. Yes, there is a plot; yes, there is some amusing dialogue; yes, there is some characterization. It's no American Beauty, but for what it is SUPPOSED to be, it does a reasonable job.

Seth Green deserves a lot of credit for his performance here, as does Devon Sawa. An earlier review commented on his physical acting, and I agree; when he still has the hand, his interaction with his possessed self is magnificent.

A number of people commented on Evil Dead 2, but this is actually more of a spoof on The Crawling Hand, a B/W sci-fi movie with a hand running around murdering people, and a young man being the responsible party.
