Sadly comedians find themselves in a difficult climate these days as they have to watch what they say for fear of invoking the wrath of the general public. This brilliant satirical comedy is so on target; it is a must see. Sure the gay scenes, as well as the cancer boy clip will bother people, but the movie is so prescient for those times where SSRI's were marketed and advertised as life changing & comfortably numbing solution for life. In the late 80's and 90's so called anti- depressants were the cure all solve all drugs. Now since the early 2000's the same tactics are used to sell anti-psychotics and re-purpose them as the cure all for what ills society.Lets face it if Sam Kinoson, Joan Rivers, Jerry Lewis, Lenny Bruce, Gilbert Gotfried, Dice Clay and Marty Allen were starting out in their careers they would not have a chance. For example Jerry Lewis and Marty Allen were really taking on the personas of retarded persons (now called developmentally challenged) which would be considered taboo these days. Just watch how Roger Ebert overreacted in his 1996 review-now on Youtube. Many of the themes in this movie and the work of Kids in the Hall can be seen in Arrested Development. How dare someone be offensive to anyone!

season one of kids in the hall is finally being released on dvd. i'm not one to buy tv show seasons on dvd, but i think i might actually purchase this one. it's about time there is something a little more available since comedy central turned dumb all of a sudden and we don't see the show anymore. so coming this spring...dave, kevin, scott, bruce, and scott in season one of the best sketch comedy show ever.

I really like the the kids in the hall show but this movie is not funny at all. I thought that because the guys that were in kids in the hall were in it and because they wrote it that it would be hillarious but it was really boring. If they do make another movie I hope that it is nothing like this one. I would not recommend this movie to anybody.

I'm a huge KITH fan, and this movie lived up to my expectations 99%. The amazing thing about this movie is that although it features few of the lovable TV show characters, it was still awesome, and true to the KITH's style. I would have liked to see Buddy or Cabbage Head or the STEPS boys in it, but this movie was still great. I think you may have to warm up to the show before you can enjoy the movie, but it manages to be funny on its own. I laughed out loud at many unforgettable moments: Wally's army flashbacks; the short appearance of the feuding white trash couple; and the German guy confessing to the psychiatrist (Subtitle: "The nipples of mother hope have run dry").When I discovered Brain Candy on DVD, I snapped it up- and I recommend you do too, if you're a fan of KITH or Canadian comedy in general. I hope KITH live on...perhaps a third tour, another movie...and I would love to have the series in a DVD boxed set...hint, hint.
