Jon Hutson What can I say about this film. Well I'd no intention of watching it when I did, before then I'd never heard of it, but sure enough on a bus trip in Eastern Europe I was going to take in the whole film.Well there we were, myself, my wife and two other travel buds on a bus from Plovdiv to Veliko Tarnovo in Bulgaria. It was a route I knew well, crappy road windy hills. Not a nice journey to experience whilst still in the depths of a Mastika hangover. Still these things have to be done.Any how this film just came up on our journey, and with a hangover it really was the funniest film I'd ever seen, although trying to watch it whilst trying not to be sick was something of a challenge. It had not helped that after a short pit stop on the way we got back on the bus last and had ended up on the worst seats, the one's at the back. So I might well just have been on a ferry crossing in rough seas. Going green doesn't't even describe it.Any back to the film, well this stupid idiotic film came on, and bizarrely enough it was excellent. Totally carried by the sharp intensity of lead actor, yes that guy that also did the voice over for the Ice Age Sloth. I felt like I was watching Jim Carrey before Jim Carriey's time. Only this guy John Leguizamo seemed to have even more energy.Needless to say I was constantly in stitches followed by the need for deep breaths and focus to overcome the nasty green spells.After a night on the sauce or during, I'd highly recommend this film.Certainly a departure from the main.

pokerlegend89 This is the worst comedy i have ever seen !! I have seen a lot of comedy's and this was the first movie i stopped after 45 minutes because it was so annoying and NOT FUNNY AT ALL. The acting was very bad and Pestario 'pest'vargas (the leading part) Was the most annoying man i have ever seen i wanted to kill myself when i saw this movie. I was watching the movie with 10 family members and everyone hated the movie and they were all very relieved when i asked if anyone else hated it so much, when i asked it i heard 10 people saying YES !!!. So this is a warning do not watch this movie its horrible and a waist of your money.

roknrollchik It's true that "The Pest" is not the most amazing piece of cinematography ever made, but if you go in with the right attitude, it's a funny little movie. I love John Leguizamo, so perhaps I'm a little biased...but I definitely think this movie is worth watching. It can be a little offensive if you are the type of person who doesn't like ethnic jokes. But I feel that the Pest's ethnic jokes are more of a statement than simply tasteless humor; numerous ethnic groups are "targeted" and their stereotypes made fun of. In this way, the ridiculousness of discrimination and segregation is illuminated. And you can laugh at it, which is even better!

vchimpanzee Pest is more than Pestario Vargas' nickname; it's what he is. At the movie's start, as his family waits impatiently outside the bathroom door, Pest is rapping in the shower, imitating characters ranging from Ricky Ricardo to Jerry Lewis' Nutty Professor.Pest works as a delivery boy at Mr. Cheung's Chinese restaurant in Miami. But he seems to make most of his money from scams, as we see in the first few minutes after the shower concert.Pest owes $50,000 to Scottish mobster Angus. He needs a miracle, and he may have found one when Gustav offers him a chance at $50,000 if Pest will go on a hunting trip with Gustav, Leo and Gustav's son Himmel. Poor Himmel can't please his cruel father, who once locked him in a room with a snake. He finds enjoyment in 'Hogan's Heroes' reruns, which apparently remind him of his own life.Pest's best friends are Chubbs and Ninja. His girlfriend is Xantha Kent, whose best friend is Malaria. Pest's first meeting with Xantha's parents doesn't go well at all.I found John Leguizamo appealing and funny, but I can easily see how one might get annoyed with him. He pretended to be blind, Chinese, Japanese, German, and even Jewish. If you find 'Family Guy' offensive, you are advised to stay away from this movie, which relies heavily on stereotypes and politically incorrect humor. But 'Family Guy' is one of my favorite shows, even though it occasionally goes too far for my taste. This movie might have too, but it was cleaned up for TV.The movie got off track about halfway through, but it didn't continue with the same storyline for as long as I expected, which was a relief. The rest of the movie was much better.It's not a great comedy, but for some of us it is a good laugh.
