Consensus: Has little appeal beyond its built-in fanbase. The non sequitur humor of Aqua Teen Hunger Force will surely appeal to its built-in fanbase, but for the uninitiated, the premise wears thin. more

AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE is a cult favorite on the Cartoon Network's late-night animation segment, Adult Swim. The show hits the big screen with the strangely titled AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE COLON MOVIE FILM FOR THEATERS, and the plot is as convoluted and nonsensical as the title. Bored, and in hopes of attracting women, Meatwad and Master Shake assemble their second-hand workout machine, the "Insane-o-flex." Frylock steps in to help and discovers it's missing a crucial part--the power chip. They recover the chip, and upon installation launch the machine into its real purpose as a killer robot. This film will be a must-see for hardcore fans of AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE, as several of the sub-characters from the series appear in the film. These include the Mooninites, the Plutonians, MC Pee Pants, and Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future. The traits of the three main characters symbolize Freud's three-part structural theory of the psyche: the Ego, Super-ego, and Id--and the concept works as both a feature-length film and as a fun, absurd 15-minute cartoon.

It's not too hard to imagine that the inspiration for this show came during a late night, cannabis fueled attack of the munchies. It's no masterpiece but that's the idea.

In the beginning, the film had me with an absolutely amazing intro song. I was dying laughing, but after that ran out, I was just dying.

At heart, it is a stoner comedy for college kids, but it strikes just the right balance between intelligence and infantilism to please almost any viewer who has ever enjoyed adolescence

Its running time painfully accentuates the premise’s thinness.

The brainchild of Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis isn't immune to the problem often faced by supersize cartoons -- namely, what might be effectively clever when doled out in episodic portions tends to get diluted over the course of an expanded format.

Its absurdist scenarios serve as little more than a ramshackle frame for bizarre non sequiturs, stoned pop-culture riffing, and some of the weirdest gags ever to make it into a studio-released film.

The brains behind Cartoon Network's Aqua Teen Hunger Force have stretched their 12-minute plus commercials 'Adult Swim' series entry into 86 rather uneven ones.

Except for an intriguing opening segment that pits a traditional bunch of movie snacks singing a suggestive jingle pitted against an aggressive punk counterpart, the movie is a bore.

The film is very, very funny; and it is very, very exhausting.

Ultimately, the movie will be remembered (if at all) for its guerilla marketing campaign, which the city of Boston took to be a terrorist threat and cost Turner Broadcasting $2 million, more than the cost of making the film.

Certainly original, often funny, and occasionally even inspired.

I didn't feel like I was watching somebody else's idea of a joke; I felt like I was watching somebody else's idea of a nightmare.

I have never taken an illegal substance; movies have always been my drug of choice, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters was like a big old cinematic acid trip.

There's ultimately something exhilarating -- and, dare I say, liberating? -- about the film's chaotic avant-garde energy.

Occasional amusement aside, this is a tedious 86-minutes worth of utterly random movie.

While not for the faint of heart, Aqua Teen Hunger Force is perfectly suited for the seriously twisted followers--and new recruits--of the Cartoon Network show.

If you’re in the right frame of mind or if you’ve inhaled the right substance I guess you might find this stuff hilarious. I laughed, then I grew restless, then I grew sleepy, then I just wanted it to end.

If nothing else, it can lay claim to being the only film in memory that had me in tears of hysterical laughter before the studio logos came up.
