i saw this on TV late one night and tuned in based on the name alone. i figured with a name like Queer Duck: The Movie it would be a fun movie that didn't take itself to seriously. For it's campy gay humour, it's enjoyable. There are some serious flaws in it however. It starts off fun. The opening sequence is entertaining and the names might make you smirk (Openly Gator, Oscar Wildcat etc...) but after that, it slowly goes downhill. The most irritating thing in the whole movie is the animation. Web cartoon-grade movement where the eyebrows seem to just bounce around at every word while the mouth attempts to match the dialogue (spoiler alert...it never does) The jokes are more miss than hit and one joke is just stolen off an episode of Family Guy (it's like a friend telling the same joke only with added gay animals) All in all, don't bother buying it on DVD but if you see it on TV, you could do a lot worse 3/10

This was a funny film. Lots of gay jokes, lots of camp funny, some wicked double entendres, easy on the eye, fast paced, enjoyable. MOst of the time watching it I was thinking about other people i knew who would be laughing their asses off too, When you see a film called Queer Duck you can't go in to the experience expecting drama, plot, gritty realising or anything of the sort. It's not CSI. If the very concept of a queer duck doesn't make you smile then you probably won't like this film. Also, and as the maker says, this is a stereotype of homosexuality based on a pretty select demographic - middle aged fags the maker knows. No real plot but a lot of fun and some real laugh out loud moments.

People need to understand, that sometimes everyone enjoys a light-hearted comedy, that sparks creative freedom. Okay, sure the premise is about 15 years too late, its about a gay duck and his silly adventures. But what makes this truly enjoyable comedy, absolute hilarious, is its ability not to take itself too seriously. Growing up gay and Jewish makes me relate to the entire characterization of Seymour Duckstein. But when this melodramatic comedy, has names of cartoon characters such as Oscar Wildcat, Bi-Polar bear,just too name a few. I cant recommend this comedy enough, if you want a funny, laugh-out-loud comedy that is so tongue-and-cheek it makes family guy look like the first seasons of the Simpson's. The only shortcomings, that the film has is it is 74-79 minutes , plus I would have loved to see a full soundtrack instead of musical members that last maybe a minute or two.

I would have given this movie a much lower rating; but, the fact is, I sat through the whole thing and was never terribly annoyed with it. However, the film came very close to crossing that line.The movie faithfully follows the animation and comedy style of the shorts it is based on, which can be found free for the taking all over the Web. I think those shorts have a huge advantage over this movie: they are short.The problem is not that the quality of the humor in this movie ever dips lower than that of the shorts, it's that the jokes are endless, and you get tired of grunting out a half-hearted laugh after a while.The plot, and I use that word loosely, is about Queer Duck questioning being gay. Is this all there is to life: endless parties, drugs, and sex? We know that Queer Duck parties and likely uses drugs, but we also get the impression he is in a committed relationship with Openly Gator. For the sake of a laugh, this impression is ostensibly proved incorrect in an early scene, but knowing the true nature of Queer Duck and Openly Gator, we know they are committed to each other. If they were not, Openly Gator wouldn't be so upset when Queer Duck tries to live life as a straight duck and marries an old buzzard akin to our world's Liza Minelli.But, this is where the plot is lost. The film shows Queer Duck having a wonderful relationship with Madame Buzzard, but when she dies, it never shows why Queer Duck wants Openly Gator back so badly, except that perhaps he is lonely. We are supposed to believe that Queer Duck really accepts being gay because his wife dies. But the beginning of the film doesn't show us Openly Gator and Queer Duck's really bonding; however, the film does convincingly show the bond between Queer Duck and the buzzard. We understand that Openly Gator is heart broken, and we can assume why, but the movie never shows us why. It never shows that spark between Openly Gator and Queer Duck, even though we know they had been in a committed relationship for some time.I would have liked to have seen Oscar Wildcat play a bigger part in this movie. His dry banter provides a welcome respite from the other, louder jokes that play throughout.This movie is recommended if you can't find anything else at the video store and don't want to leave empty-handed. It's a step above that C-level-romantic-comedy you know you don't want to see, in that I think you are less likely to turn this off.
