This was overall a pretty creative movie, I can understand why this was direct to DVD (seeing as there were a lot of bad parody films release at the time). But this is by far the best, the main plot is pretty creative and the way they switch between scenes is pretty unique. Even though this film is around 10 years old now, I think it deserves a sequel.

Not much should be said or time spent on reviewing such a thing. The Onion News is a thing online, and they made a film about it. The plot is basically that 'Norm' plays the traditional old school news broadcaster and is unhappy what his network is turning into, and then there's this whole development at the end and stuff, but none of that is actually important. What's actually significant, if at all ! - is the silly, even stupid but funny humor on display. They'll make fun of all sorts of clichés from today's world, from your Britney Spears type pop singer to those cheesy kungfu films, to ads or news stories, society... it's all there as you'd imagine it, and it's fun. For a first viewing at least, it makes for an unpredictable, dynamic and diverse experience in random and completely unadulterated humor. You should find at least some of it funny, if not, as most people I'd imagine, all of it fairly entertaining. I wouldn't call it 'bad' by any stretch, but it's no comedy gold either. Humor is one of these very subjective things: give it a try, watch the first few sketches.

If you like satirical view of the world (or should I say USA..?) today, than you will also like this film. Watching this is like changing channels on cable TV. And it is very entertaining!This is not a typical film, it has several layers which, in the end, somehow, 'blend in'. Advice: do not expect too much, just go and see it - because it offers enjoyable hour and a half; also, it is not a typical comedy which can be seen these days, it is appealing and worth watching.I don't know what do people who say that it is lame or dull (people who write comments here) think that a good comedy is...? 'Onion Movie' doesn't have a typical story line, it doesn't have an important, serious and mind-blowing point; but it is funny and put together in an interesting way. And that's it.

This is the first time I was really let down by the reviews I read on IMDb. I usually enjoy all types of humour, even slapstick but this movie did not really do anything to me. I don't understand why so many people thought this was funny.The humour behind this movie is un inspired and extremely childish ... I cannot understand why people suggested that this is one of the funniest movies they've ever seen. What exactly did make you laugh ? Is this really what American humour has to offer ?? Surely not, because I've seen much better (american) work than this.I admit there were a few sketches I found funny. However I soon found myself getting bored again because the story behind the sketch was too long. A movie is only funny if it hits you with a joke and then moves on the next one and not by having to explain to you why you should have laughed at it in the first place.The movie is at best watchable and hence my 4.
