[Movie Review] The Onion Movie.
First off, this movie is not for minors, so if you have minors around, or if you are a minor, don’t watch it.
Having said that, The onion movie revolves primarily around stereotyping through a string of satirical skits and fake news that involve Blacks, Whites, Arabs, Pop musicians, Steven Segal and other things that I cannot mention here. in a typical good old classic onion style, this movie delivers it all seamlessly and beautifully. and even though this movie isn’t likely to win any Oscars, it will most definitely make you laugh your ass off.
Synopsis: When the Onion News Network asks lead anchorman Norm Archer to compromise his journalistic. The Onion, that gold standard of pitch-perfect news parody publications–brings its distinctly absurd-yet-relevant brand of satire to a hitherto untapped medium: the feature film! When the Onion News Network asks lead anchorman Norm Archer to compromise his journalistic integrity in the name of pleasing a new corporate sponsor, Archer doesn’t respond too kindly. Armed with an irreverent sketch comedy-style approach to a loose narrative, The Onion Movie takes aim at everything politics and society have to offer.
So even though there isn’t really much of a plot, the movie does not fail to keep you entertained throughout the whole movie. that is of course if you are not that type of person that could get easily offended. for its biting satire can get a bit harsh, i personally found it to be hard hitting and straight to the point, in a cleverly woven hilarious way.
It is a shame The Onion Movie went straight to DVD and wasn’t released in theaters, it is definitely one of the funniest movies in the past couple of years, and deserves more exposure.
Trailer: (Rated R.. Kind Of)
