The Darwin Awards description Loosely based on the book series of the same name, The Darwin Awards is a wry indie film that deals with the premise that some people will live long and prosperous lives, while the weaker will weed themselves out by committing unbelievably stupid acts (such as smashing into a high-rise window to prove it's shatterproof, or using dynamite as a me ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Comedy, Romance, and Action: Good Fun for All. |
| I saw The Darwin Awards at Sundance. Tickets sold out online, and wait lines were full of hopeful fans. During screenings, the audiences roared with laughter, especially when they could "see it coming," like the lawyer bragging about his panoramic corner office, and its supposedly unbreakable windows. Perhaps the laughter was influenced by the bleak nature of most other Sundance films--a comedy was a rare treat!
I wasn't necessarily expecting to enjoy the film, because the Darwin Awards website was peripheral. To Wendy's chagrin, not a single suggestion she made was incorporated. But... I loved it! It was quirky, and jammed with silly bits! The Metallica concert scenes were tremendous; the last line in the movie is a quip by Metallica's James Hatfield. The MythBusters' appearance as junkstore owners of a JATO is fall out of your seat funny. And the mylar balloon... Minor points that I disliked: Some of the winners are portrayed as rednecks, but DarwinAwards.com avoids sterotyping. Not all of the scenes show self-inflicted injury, such as the dentist and patient. And a laugh is taken at the expense of a duck hunter trying to rescue his buddy. IMO it is heroic to risk personal danger in order to save another. However, I still laughed all the way through the movie, and I think you will too. The film's rocky path through the distribution channel was due to politics, not the quality of the movie. Happily, several independent theaters have screened The Darwin Awards to full audiences. BookKitten says, "Watch the movie!" It's comedy, lighthearted romance, and action--good fun for all. |
