TheMarwood Lazy Anton is too stoned to realize his hand has become possessed and murdered his parents. Despite blood on the floor and pieces of them like their eyes scattered about the house, he's completely unaware and it's business as usual for Anton - getting high from his makeshift bowl that he turned his asthma inhaler into and laying on the couch eating poorly and watching TV. His two dim bulb friends, one of which is a miscast Seth Green, aren't much help figuring out what's going on and quickly meet a gruesome end by the hand. An inspired gag is that his two friends return as rotting corpses, because it was too far to walk through the bright tunnel to heaven. Devon Sawa does some good physical comedy, the film is never serious for a second and there is a substantial amount of gore that is well done. A concert at the school dance with Offspring, hasn't aged well and didn't exactly scream quality back in '99 either and Vivica A. Fox could basically be cut from the film and not much would be impacted. Idle Hands is gleefully ridiculous and it's unfortunate critics had their knives out for this one and it tanked at the box office.

laserspewpewpew Idle Hands has it's high and low points and ultimately it's not bad!. The film is pretty shallow in terms of plot and character development but then again a horror comedy spoof like this it was never going to be deep in either of those aspects. It has a lot of cliché 90's teen themes; High school buddies, a slacker main character, two weed smoking side kicks, the hot girl next door etc, etc so originality is not really one of the films fortes. Whilst not hilarious there were a few scenes which I did laugh at but this isn't a film I'd expect to be as funny on a second or third watch for example. There were a few amusing kill/gore scenes but this is more slapstick then out and out gore. The cast were okay on the whole but the main character wasn't a great performance but the support cast were good enough for a film like this. It's by no means the best film of this genre but if you just want to sit back and watch a film that's light on plot but a fine for an evening in front of the TV then give it a go. 6/10

atinder This was another re-watch, I seen it once before, I didn't remember much from the last time I watched it. I forgot how fun this movie was, it was a lot of fun, there wre action comic moment in this movie. I really liked the plot of the movie,A hand taken over by demon that killed his mum and dad. There are crazy over the top silliness in this movie, which fits perfectly with the rest of the movie. There some great gory moments and some really cool kills scenes, I loved the dead friends come back dead, was so funny. The acting was great from the whole cast. 8 out of 10

Mash-the-stampede "Idle Hands" is a classic 90's comedy/horror flick which although swooped a little under the radar - it is still a must-see film for fans of horrors such as the "Evil Dead" series (especially army of darkness) and/or teen comedies like "American Pie"."Idle Hands" works well by striking the perfect balance between comedy and horror and this works extremely well. The cast are brilliant especially Seth Green who is always great to watch in comedic roles. Reletavely unknown actor Devon Sawa plays the lead character 'Anton', who's hand gets possessed by an evil entity and goes on a murderous rampage! Though I have never seen Devon Sawa in any films prior or since "Idle Hands" - he is excellent in his role and the way he makes his hand move wildly and mis-behave really makes it look like it is not controlled by himself! In fact, one of the funniest scenes is a make-out scene between 'Anton' and 'Molly' (Alba) in when his hand keeps trying to strangle her! It's hilarious!!!American skate-punk band, 'The Offspring' also make an amusing cameo in the film and also play a tune "off with her head" from their debut self-titled album which was a bonus! I won't give away what happens to singer Dexter Holland but it is pretty amusing!In conclusion, "Idle hands" is a great late 90's comedy/horror flick which should have been bigger than it was.Most definitely worth a watch!
