Various articles describe Tim and Eric's style as 'avant garde' but we remain unconvinced.
Top CriticThe laughs dry up even as the gross-out material grows more, uh, fluid.
Had Billion Dollar Movie been just eight minutes on the Funny or Die website, where Heidecker and Wareheim have often appeared, it might have worked.
The vicious mirth is hit-or-miss but contagious.
Needless to say, this freewheeling parade of bizarreness is not everyone's cup of shrim. Chances are good that the people whose cup of shrim it is already know who they are.
A disposable trifle of fleeting rewards that - like many a feature built around a "Saturday Night Live" sketch - shows its seams after three minutes.
Everything about this amateurishly made unpleasant gross-out comedy stinks and is degrading.
One of the worst movies I've ever seen.
I laughed, and frequently. There are also images I can now never forget, and kind of want to. Is this what it was like for all those people I introduced, kicking and screaming, to Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
Very weird fun.
As co-directors, [Wareheim and Heidecker] handle the rhythm well and smoothly integrate their trademark 'clip comedy'.
A nauseating child's nightmare of Sisyphean despair.
Maybe I'm missing the joke. Hell, maybe I'm the punch line, since I couldn't find any good ones in this borderline unwatchable motion picture.
At one point, a character says: "Let the brown foaming mess wash all over you." Whatever you are imagining happening at this juncture, I promise you it's worse.
An unapologetically fan-only experience that might have found more success as a series of YouTube clips than a fully-fledged 94-minute movie.
If the film is intended as a viciously satirical jab at Hollywood gentrification, it certainly hits its mark. It just isn't at all enjoyable to watch.
Not nearly as endearing, nor as funny, as Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job, Billion Dollar Movie is likely to become a cult hit, but nothing more.
It's all too appropriate that this thing is narrated by Michael Gross.
About as funny as discovering that you have cancer, AIDS and a brain tumor all on the same day.
"Billion Dollar Movie" is proof positive that having friends is a lot more important than having talent in Hollywood.
Tim and Eric were reportedly gleeful at mass audience walkouts during a recent Sundance screening, and they probably delight in savage reviews, bearing them with pride. Well, congrats, guys: You suck.
I'll be greatly surprised if anything this bad comes along again this year -- or any other year, come to that.
Zombies would have been an improvement.
Anyone interested in an early visit to Purgatory is directed to this excruciatingly unfunny, frequently repulsive movie.

- Dr. Doone Struts: May the brown foaminess flow all over you.
-
- Eric: There are way to many teeth in my mooouutthhh!
-
- Diamond Jim/Johnny Depp: They all know my name, but I can't say that I know theirs.
-
- Tim: You have to keep those refrigerated, Taquito.
- Taquito: It's okay, I only eat the middle.
-
- Allen Bishopman: The city of Swallow Valley pays me to not sell swords!
-
- Tim: I'm not even walking on the set without Jim Joe. If you think I'm going to get involved in something without him being a part of it you're out of your mind.
