This is one of my favorite indie horror films but I found the graphics sex scenes to be over the top and the blood and gore unrealistic. The 20 minute long furry porn was a little too much for my friend to handle so he passed out on the couch. But overall other than the scene where a man hangs another man with a noose made of sphagetti the film was outstanding.

This is a really great movie! I watched it with my three-year old brother, and he loved it. Anyway, I was curious to watch this because I wanted to see how closely it resembled Lord of the Rings. I'm a nerd, okay? And it is very similar. Almost word-for-word, well, not quite. And the music is really fascinating and eerily similar to the Trilogy.

Some scenes are a bit confusing for younger kids, but the message is pretty clear (people's gifts and how they don't get to choose them, but can choose what they do with them). I laughed and (shamefully) enjoyed it.

Big Idea is a really great company, and I like the work that they do. I learned a few things myself from this movie!

So I'd suggest it to anyone with kids 6 and under. Definitely!

Though not as good as The Lord of the Rings itself, I really liked this video, it is probably my favorite of the VeggieTales series, along with The Wonderful Wizard of Ha's (I seem to like VeggieTales spoofs). There are some very cute parts of this film, and very good analogies to The Lord of the Rings, and it has a very good ending.

The story ends with the Veggie-version of Frodo, Todo, who saves the poor city people from starvation and drought, through the power given to him buy the magic Bean. This was a very good ending, with a lot of real-life meaning, to a good and humorous story.

I recommend this for everyone.

This masterpiece breaks the mold of the common movie and goes above and beyond the standard movie-watching experience. Behind the layer of a skillfully made parody, you can see the deeper meaning of the director's vision. The movie is clearly a metaphor for a communism, a shocking reveal, but defined by the director's numerous references to Stain and the KGB (the sporks). The plot of the movie is to obtain the 5th bean which is an illusion to the communist manifesto, created around 1950, the "5th" bean refers to the "5" in "1950". And you can see in the movie, you see the group work together and share similar to the views of Karl Marx and communism. The first line of the communist manifesto reads as followed: "The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles." You can see class barriers within the movie, as the 5 races of vegetable fail at first to find friendship within their quest. A controversial move by the director and writers, but opens the minds of young children to expand their view on the current governments and societies of our day and age.
