This movie is well worth watching if you want to laugh harder than ever. A warning though to the people with a lame sense of humor ~ this movie is not for you! If you liked "Something About Mary" you'll absolutely LOVE "Hacks"!!! I laughed so hard I cried. A hidden jewel among many less entertaining flicks!
... View MoreTo be sure, Glenn Rockowitz is a disturbed individual. Through his eyes, we see a world of losers. Myopic people that cannot see 2 inches in front of their face, and cause more havoc and confusion than their resolution abilities can handle. In the end, these people are hilarious to watch. Like Spinal Tap and Best In Show, Hacks is an exposure of "real" people who are just like us. Whether we express it or not, the dry humor of these movies surrounds our daily lives.I laughed, did not cry, and have decided that I like this movie - even if I'd also like to kick Rockowitz in the nuts if we ever meet.
... View MoreI saw Hacks in Baltimore with about 500 other people last Friday. I thought it was a really, really good movie with a ton of really funny stuff in it. I stayed for the question and answer afterwards and was as entertained by the cast as I was by the movie. I went because the poster said it was in the same vain as Spinal Tap. I actually think it was funnier than Spinal Tap, but Tap is the classic and mother of all mockumentaries. I wish this film well - it's one of the funniest I've seen in a long time.
... View MoreThere's some really funny stuff in this fake documentary about a bunch of misfit stand-up comics. I caught this at a festival in Park City, UT that was happening at the same time as Sundance. While some of the stuff in the film is hilarious, some of it is just in poor taste. The biggest problem with this movie is that it's about half an hour too long. You can cut all the boring slow stuff out of it and have a really funny hour long film. Worth catching if you can see it with some college freshmen while drunk.
