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.
ATHF can seem brilliantly deconstructive one moment and stupefyingly boring the next -- or to provide a more accurate ratio, it can follow five brilliant seconds with five straight minutes of boredom.
For a production that is so dialogue-rich (and profane -- this is not for kids), Aqua Teen is also visually arresting in its desultory, whatever-sticks-to-the-wall grottiness.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters is difficult to recommend, without first knowing the sobriety of the viewer.
It's one thing to catch Aqua Teen in 15-minute increments on TV, but sitting through a feature-length onslaught is an endurance test even for devoted viewers.
The most scathing deconstruction of Hollywood (and the culture at large) this side of Robert Altman's The Player.
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.
Absurd, raunchy 'toon TV spin-off isn't for kids.
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 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.
Skip this feature and wait until it makes its way to DVD or television.
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.
You know, if you're not familiar with the television series "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" then you might as well not waste your time reading about "Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters."
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.
