Did not translate from the written version

America's Finest News Source makes for fantasatic entertaining print. Unfortunately, it didn't translate too well for the movie. There was some humor (a parody of Brittney Sprears and Steve Seagal doing a self-parody) but overall it didn't translate well to the screen. The subversive dark humor was there, but perhaps a little too much Leslie Nielsenesque humor with it.

The movie was 80 minutes long, and that was at least 20 minutes too much.

SoSo

I got a few laughs from this movie, but even after paying 8 bucks for it used, I should have just saved for something else.

There Are Better Onions

After occasionally reading an Onion newspaper, I had some idea what I was getting into here. However, I felt that much of the film didn't live up to the cutting-edge satire of the newspaper. The movie consists of a series of comedy sketches bound together by the Onion's lack of reverence for anything and a tepid plot line.

Some of the segments were very funny. I thought Sarah McElligott was quite vibrant as Melissa Cherry, a Britney Spears clone. The skit about the "reformed" bank robber was great. Steven Seagal's martial arts spoof had its moments. But many of the routines fell flat, and some were so tasteless that they were actually...tasteless.

The core of the Onion--take no prisoners, nothing is sacred--was there. But as the layers were peeled off, a lot didn't smell like an Onion.

Worth The Price Just To See Mousie Garner's Last Film Role

The Onion Movie is definitely worth the purchase price if only to see Mousie Garner, the last surviving member of Ted Healy's Three Stooges comedy troupe, in his very last comedic film performance. Garner, (born: July 31, 1909 - died: August 8, 2004), was 95 years old when he signed on to The Onion Movie to play the role of "Uncle Smackers." Garner, who enjoyed a 75 year career as a popular stage, screen, radio and television comedian, died only a few months after filmming a variety of sequences for this film. Don't miss the very special deleted scene where Garner interacts with The Onion's voluptuous video vixen!
