Critics Consensus: 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.

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.
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.
The Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie isn't going to be for most people, but those who were already converts will probably find it tasty enough to go back for seconds.
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
I am a big fan of the show and found this film funny at times. But even its average length feels like watching Titanic 7 times as the plot is thin like a lot of episodes of the TV Show. If this was like a Looney Tunes short and just had those individual laugh out loud moments, i'd call it a masterpiece. Unfortuantely it wasn't a hilarious ten minute episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It was a movie.
Super Reviewer
Nonsensical absurdity & that's a good thing, it was really fun
Little more than a feature length version of an ATHF episode. It has got its funny parts, and I can't believe I've waited this long to remember to type a lil review. Definitely rent/buy the DVD as there are some cool features about making the movie, and Patti Smith does the commentary along with her son, the guy who does Shake's voice, and some people from The Onion. It's pretty amazing to stretch ATHF's obscenely odd material into such a long piece, but the difficulty shows as I think this packs less laughs per minute than the 11 minute shows aired. Still ATHF fans HAVE to see this.
Just as hilarious and random as the show.
