It's easy to see why nobody wanted to finish The Onion Movie. But why did anybody want to start it?

At worst, a sketch comedy film, with some much-needed social and political bite, that's far superior to any Saturday Night Live movie. (Only Deleted Scenes and two outtakes suggest how senselessly offensive the movie could have become.)

The Onion may continue to thrive as a satirical, fake news Web site, newspaper and publisher of books, but The Onion Movie, a straight-to-DVD release, is a tired sketch-comedy collection.

The seatbelt made me laugh almost harder than I laughed in any movie! After that, I was asking myself if this was even supposed to be a comedy? My jaw dropped at the end and I was ready to eat the dvd!
