Python Hyena Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996): Dir: Kelly Makin / Cast: Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, Scott Thompson, Bruce McCulloch, Dave Foley: Clever comedy about the unsatisfactory lives we lead. Title suggests either physical or mental garbage we intake to give the illusion of wholeness. A small orange pill called Gleemonex is invented to cure depression but side affects exist. An angry musician rages against society but after taking Gleemonex he makes a video called "Happiness Pie." A husband who masturbates to gay porn cannot face the fact that he is gay. He pops the Gleemonex and marches into the street singing, "I'm Gay!" Vulgarity is outlined with facts one may not acknowledge about themselves. Interesting concept with directing by Kelly Makin. David Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney, and Scott Thompson plays multiple roles as the famous Kids in the Hall troop. McDonald plays scientist Chris Cooper who invents the drug after his father's suicide. He is met with fame as well as the desire to correct the side affects. McKinney plays villain Don Roritor as a somewhat Steve Martin impression. He forces the drug and will be defeated by it. Scott Thompson plays two hilarious roles as gay husband and senile lady. Dave Foley is also featured as an assistant whose greatest dream is urinating in his boss's coffee. Colorful visuals parallel artificial solutions. Score: 9 / 10

Theo Robertson KIDS IN THE HALL ? This is a sketch show I remembered being broadcast in the wee small hours in Britain on channel 4 . I didn't think much of it . No strike that - I hated it . It was composed of a bunch of Canadian MONTY PYTHON wannabes who dressed in drag more often than not and made sketches that fell flat . I can remember the " I'm crushing your head " character because of the simple reason it was so unfunny and it's no surprise that Canadians I know much prefer British TV like THE OFFICE and DOCTOR WHOBRAIN CANDY is a feature length film by the KITH troupe and as many people have already pointed out you'll only enjoy this movie if you're already a fan , if you've never heard of these kids you will probably dislike with a vengeance with the humour being either underdeveloped or plain crude like the scene where a NCO orders one of his men into battle: " You see these two men beside the wall ? You run over there and f*ck them while we stay here and masturbate " I also couldn't help thinking that because BRAIN CANDY is a spin off from a sketch show the screenplay lacks cohesion , events and scenes happen without any rhyme nor reason like for example a scene cutting to a music award show where Cancer Boy performs a song only for the action to then cut away to another location with Cancer Boy then absent for the rest of the filmI certainly didn't enjoy BRAIN CANDY and unless you're a KIDS IN THE HALL fan or someone who enjoys watching men dress up as woman it's highly likely you'll feel the same way

dan-809 Certainly one of the few excellent films that I have seen David Foley in. I saw this, quite by chance, on television and I was amazed that I had not even heard of a film this good. It is several years since I saw it, and 8 since it was made, but this is truly worth seeing.The plot is fairly run-of-the-mill comedic insanity, but the characters are what truly makes this so fun. The writing is very very good and I think complaints of bad language are bizarre in the context of this movie, because if you don't like the language how are you going to enjoy the sentiment...One character's key fantasy is being "sent in" to bugger enemy soldiers on maneouvres.My favourite scene is the brainstorming session with the Ultra-Cool A**hole Advertising Executive who comes up with their slogan.

bendertherobot2007 I thought this was a great movie, but I had to watch it twice in the same night to get it. I think to like this movie, you defenately have to be a Kith fan. You might enjoy it even if you aren't a kith fan, but you might get the humor better if you are. I liked the characters, especially Cisco and Greivo. I'm glad they didn't have too many recurring characeters because I like to see more bizzare characters they could come out with. 9/10
