    Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

    Ridiculous, but funny

    Take it for what it is, if you even want to watch this movie, you already know what your expecting: dumb, R-rated, comedy, and that my friends is what this movie contains.

    Tim and Eric are failed film m... read moreakers, and in order to get one billion dollars to pay back their film expenses they decided to take over a hobo-town shopping center.

    There isn't much in this movie either than laughs. The acting is funny, the script is funny, everything is funny about this movie. There are some awesome cameos that include Will Ferrell and John C. Reily.

    Although it manages to make you laugh, this movie is at the same time, stupid, disgusting, and dumb. However, I knew that before I saw it, so if your are paying the money to go see this, I am hoping you know what to expect. So watch it if you are searching for some mega-dumb-epic-cheap-billion dollar movie.

    Eric: Shrim, that sounds like Shrimp

    Let me start by saying I like Tim and Eric. They have their own style of bizarre humor and I enjoy the things they create. But, they're not for everyone... which makes me like them more because they don't care what people think of them, they're going to keep creating their art (Y... read morees I said art). That all being said, this movie is not for everyone. This film has the shocks and may gross you out. Gross out humor isn't my favorite but I still enjoyed these parts. I loved 75% of this movie and the last 25% was okay, (I know that sounds weird but just go with it.) The cameos were freaking awesome and the commercials in the film were top-notch Tim and Eric. So overall, if you like different kinds of humor and/or you like Tim and Eric, watch this movie. If you don't... well then don't watch it. It was a very funny goof and a spoof.

    * out of ****

    There isn't a more proper way to begin my review of "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" than to express me unending admiration for the comic duo behind it. Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim are gifted in the field of delivering random, awkward, inappropriate situ... read moreations to use as comedic material; and I like their Adult Swim original series, "Tim and Eric's Awesome Show: Great Job". The show itself is nothing more than brainless - but engaging - escapism for all those who are open-minded. The trouble with the movie is that it's brainless, but it can neither be called engaging or "escapism". To be escapism, I'd think some effort would have to have been put into the movie being mentioned; and in this case, little is offered up.

    I can already tell that this isn't going to be an easy write-up, so bear with me. I'm currently filled with an impeccable rage. I was looking forward to this movie from the moment that it was first announced, and so were the die-hard fans of the original show. I knew what to expect, I knew what I wanted to see; and frankly, that wasn't much. Just a lot of hilarious, random facial expressions and plenty of sufficient laughs brought on by the over-the-top absurdity that these two men so flawlessly tend to employ. Well, I got the facial expressions and some of the randomness; but you know what, I'm just going to come out and say it: this isn't funny.

    And yet, it tries so very hard to be. Consider the main plot, for example: Tim and Eric play themselves, having been given a billion dollars to produce their own feature film, only to screen the finished product (which ran for about 3 disappointing, underwhelming minutes) to their employers; ultimately met with his primal disapproval of the ways in which they spent all that money. In fear, the boys flee town and settle down somewhere in a run-down, wolf-infested mall; which they attempt to bring back to both attention and life in order to be given the option of coughing up the billion dollars that they owe the studio and save some lives - including theirs - in the process.

    There isn't much more to it. Tim heartlessly steals a janitor's young son (this is supposedly played out for laughs; there were none), the mall-bound canines attack pizza-donning decoys, and Eric finds himself a lady. Some of the plot elements are just so utterly ridiculous that they do indeed inspire some brief chuckles; although some are rather, should I say, cringe inducing. And that's just saying the least.

    I expect nothing more, or less, than all-out irreverence from the comedy duo of Tim and Eric; but their movie goes to extremes in an attempt to make us laugh. Sometimes, it was just too twisted for my taste; and that's coming from someone who self-admittedly has a very dark sense of humor. When Eric decides to pierce his penis; I knew the film had crossed a line, and it was one that had yet to be drawn. If that doesn't tell you something, then I don't know what will; perhaps the disgusting sex scene between Tim and Eric's love interest will do the trick.

    "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" is hopeless; a film lost in the creative freedom of its makers, and the excesses that it so joyously revels in. This is a movie so pointless, plot-less, and brainless that at moments; it becomes nearly unwatchable. I liked the cameos (Jeff Goldblum's was hilarious), I liked the cheesy effects that were brought over from the show to the movie, and of course, I liked the moments that actually felt the slightest bit like they were ripped from the collective minds of Tim and Eric; but I hated everything else. And I'm not exaggerating; I really despised just about every moment that was spent watching this film. I imagine that some of the show's avid fans will find something to enjoy here, and thus the cult of Tim and Eric will live on; but I'm betting on the possibility that those unassociated with Tim and Eric will be easily repelled, just like I was. And as I said; I like Tim and Eric when they have their sights set on smaller, more accessible (but still irreverent) things, but if their debut into the world of film tells me anything, it tells me to pray to the cinematic God that it's their last.

    I don't even know where to start.... I've always admired the humour Tim and Eric created, the verge between awkward, unconfortable and downright stupid was amazingly well ballance on Tim and Eric's Awesome Show. I burst into tears still with some of the sketches and completly ran... read moredom people they put onto their sketches.

    A full-length movie of this sounded like a brilliant idea. I was imagining a new Life of Brian coming on. And just what the hell were they thinking? This is NOTHING! This is not funny. There's no need for a penis being pierced in full detail to be funny, right? Nor a shit bath, right? Is this Tim and Eric? I don't think so. The respect I had for them is pretty much gone, if they need constraint on television to work, censorship and are not smart enough to understand their limits, than they're shit comedians and this just proves it.

    I didn't even finnished watching the whole thing on how unfunny and poorly executed this crap is.
    Seriously, if the best you can think of on having Robert Loggia in your flick is to out of 5 words, 6 of them are swear, then get the fuck out of the business. Or having John C. Reilly on a role that IS NOT Steve Brule?!?!?! REALLY?!?!

    The only positive thing I saw in this was Jeff Goldblum cameo. Thought the movie was gonna rock when that happened.

    I never felt so embarassed in my life for someone, probably except that time I tried to understand the "motivation" behind those Neaderthals on an episode of Jersey's Shore I tried to watch.

    (I've never watched an entire episode of Tim * Eric Awesome Show Great Job, just so ya know). As a film, this doesn't really work. As a comedy bit, it's pretty consistently hilarious. Fans of the show should love it. Non fans will smile a lot and likely laugh quite a bit.

    The movie itself, as well as every joke in it, comes down "funny concept, horrible execution." I could see what the were going for with most of the jokes, but their consistent problem is running the joke into the ground.

    Ever had one of those awkward friends with whom you shared... read more an inside joke you've had with other friends, and the awkward friend just thought it was SO funny that they used it every five minutes, untill it just wasn't funny anymore? Or they made a joke, you laughed at it, and they got so excited by the fact that they made you laugh, that they just kept going with the joke until it stopped being funny and just got obnoxious? Or they saw a joke or two in a movie or on TV, and they just want to cram that joke in to every situation?

    Ok, imagine that friend made a movie. When they were fourteen. While high.

    Congratulations. You just imagined this movie. Just. Freaking. Horrible. I challenge you to watch beyond the "this is shrim" seen. I couldn't.

    A Hit and Miss. While I loved this movie and found it hilarious, it was not really what I had hyped it up to be. There were some scenes that just did not have to be in the movie. But overall I give the movie credit for being hilarious. Only see if you are a fan of Tim and Eric

    Unfortunately not what I was hoping for. There are definitely hilarious moments, but theres a lot of down time waiting for the next bit thats actually good. Overall they should have focused on making small skits (ala their show) instead of making a story based movie. Definitely a... read more missed opportunity.

    Once again proving the Law of Sketch Comedy Not Translating Well to the Big Screen, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie takes their by turns brilliant, repulsive, and occasionally downright awful (intentionally and otherwise) sketch TV work and expands it from 11 minute pa... read moreckets of delirious lunacy into a 90 minute manifesto that, like the Strangers With Candy movie before it, makes one yearn for the more focused craziness of the TV show that spawned it.

    Their Tom Goes to the Mayor and Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! boasted hilariously scathing parodies of trash culture, from hideous infomercials to wretched 80s rock videos, B-movies and, my personal favorite, small town TV news, in the form of "Married News Team" Jan and Wayne Skylar (assisted by the terminally clueless Dr. Steve Brule, played by John C. Reilly, who shows up here in a different role). Whereas those shows thrived on the menagerie of grotesque Americana characters constantly hurled at the screen, "B$M" focuses almost exclusively on the titular duo's fictional counterparts, and while the in-universe Tim and Eric make for amusing straight men to the ridiculous goings-on around them in their TV incarnations, their constant presence here eventually proves off-putting. Heidecker and Wareheim predictably ratchet up the f-bombs, violence and body humor--to alarming degrees in the latter case--but somehow fail to recognize that part of what made their skit work so funny was the barriers imposed upon them by standards and practices, and the often disturbing ways they subverted them. Here, with no such limitations, they go off the deep end into full blown frat house humor. Worse still, the celebrity cameos ("Chef" Goldblum aside) are distracting and mostly unfunny--Zach Galifianakis is cringe-worthy as always, in a bad way--and the mean-streak that lurked within Tom Goes to the Mayor and Awesome Show becomes far too prominent, lending many of the jokes and the film's climax a nasty aftertaste.

    Granted, it's all still pretty amusing, and the duo sporadically manage to deliver the kind of brilliantly hilarious nightmare fuel that is their stock and trade, but they fail to fully capitalize on their abandoned shopping mall locale and the opportunities for biting satire it presents. Nevertheless, the absurdly horrific revelation of "Shrim" will surely linger in audience's minds long after they've left the cinema (or their rental window has expired)--for better or worse.
