Wonderfully offbeat film!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Roritor Pharmaceuticals is in financial trouble. It's losing money and budgets are getting cut. A group of scientists in the Depression Project has discovered a possible antidepressant. The drug is rushed into production before testing is complete and named Gleemonex. The problem is that the drug eventually puts the patients in a coma of their happiest moment.The Kids in the Hall delivers a somewhat chaotic script. The movie is held together by the guys themselves doing small great bits with various characters. The story is easy enough. The laughs are intermittent but are big when they come. It's a lot of weird silly characters. For fans of the skit show, the off-center humor is familiar and comforting.

"It'll make you laugh, it'll make you cry, and maybe - just maybe - you'll learn something about yourself..." ...Seriously!This movie just blew me away on so many levels. First level: Being a longtime fan of the Kids and getting to see many familiar characters once again was a gas. Not to mention some of the new ones they cooked up for the film. Second level: As an exercise in the absurd (Cancer Boy, the gay guy coming out in a big neighbourhood production number, the German psychiatrist). Next level: Satire and stereotype (the CEO screaming, "MY... EMPIRE... IS... CRUUUMMMMBLINNGG!", the punk rocker, the talkshow hostess). Yet another level: Makes a HUGE statement about the corporate-media-industrial complex and its usurpation of contemporary culture and mores. And so on, and so on...Finally, the film, while purporting to be a comedy masking itself as a tragedy (or is it the other way round?) and beneath that pretending to send a negative message about the human condition (like the cabbie says, "This is not a happy story"), manages to have a positive message as well.This movie is an enigma. And as such it's basically indescribable: It'll move you in about six different directions at once. And it might even make you think about a few things.If you've never seen it, get out and rent the bloody thing already.

The TV show was funny as hell, although it was sometimes hit-and-miss ; but what sketch show isn't. This movie contains a well planned plot executed by a diverse but motley crew of characters. It makes you think that the BBC show League of Gentlemen isn't as original as you thought it was! Also, the impersonation of Lorne Michaels is spot-on, and makes you think the Dr Evil character from Austin Powers isn't as original as you thought either (as they are both spoofing Mr Michaels - who produced both SNL for Myers and Kids in the Hall).Great fun... and try not to laugh out loud at the 'cancer boy' character.

I thought this was a great movie, but I had to watch it twice in the same night to get it. I think to like this movie, you defenately have to be a Kith fan. You might enjoy it even if you aren't a kith fan, but you might get the humor better if you are. I liked the characters, especially Cisco and Greivo. I'm glad they didn't have too many recurring characeters because I like to see more bizzare characters they could come out with. 9/10
