Basically about a guy wallowing in piles of garbage with a farting corpse spouting bumper sticker philosophy for about two hours. Seriously, thats it. Maybe there was some deep hidden message but I missed it.

.. is actually a very good description of this movie. Like many others I imagined it to be some kind of cast away with a corse for the volleyball but it was suprisingly different. At this point you should know that farting is an essential plot device in this movie and that it is actually used to underline it's statements. If you cant get over this fact don't even watch it, because it is very heavily featured.I can't help myself fealing kind of weird recommending this movie because it's just plain akward and even uncomfortable to watch at some instances. The cinematography is very good and the metaphoric value every set build has for the story is strongly admirable. After about thirty minutes of runtime I came to appreciate the movie for what it is. A character study and a reflection of human behavior, traditions, norms and values, which is mostly presented through dialogue between the two characters. Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano play they're characters in such an astonishingly believable and sweet way, that you can take them seriously at any time during the movie even though the plot is as ridicoulus as one could imagine. I think this is a piece that many will grow to appreciate after some time and it is definitely going to become a cult classic.

"Swiss Army Man" tells the story of a man who's stranded on a lonely island and in utter desperation when one day a corpse is released on the shore. After a series of bizarre events, he uncovers that his newly won company is actually still alife and now does everything he can to reach civilization and teach his friend about the life in the meantime.The film is quite bizarre and is probably produced to be so. Unfortunately, I didn't really like some of the scenes in which Daniel Radcliffe shows his abilities because they seemed just a bit too much over the top for me and I don't think they really enrichened the movie. Otherwise there are some nice thoughts about life and appreciating the little things woven into the story, that had, in my eyes, gained relevance through a more serious approach.All in all this is somehow unsatisfying because I do think there is a lot of potential but it sometimes gets left behind for a rather cheap joke or a quick laughter.

Great idea, great execution. I had much fun watching Swiss Army Man. The ending was kinda confusing, but i liked it anyway.
