Backdrop Hunger
Directed by: David Zucker
Starring: Matt Stone, Trey Parker, Yasmine Bleeth

Filmed before South Park made it big, Stone and Parker clearly had a lot of influence on what would otherwise be a drab sports parody flick. Some of the sports-related jokes, like the explanation of the sport's playoff system and several of the Bob Costas/Al Michaels lines, work well. A lot of it doesn't. The meat and potatoes of the comedy comes from Matt and Trey, especially the kiss.

I'd go into the plot, but that would take more effort than the plot was actually given.

I loved it, and it has a decent 6/10 on IMDB for a low-budget comedy, but your mileage may vary.

RATING: 4

PROS: Really, really hilarious at times
CONS: When it's not funny it sucks; just gross-out humor

this is not what I wanted
It has a few golden moments, but also a lot of jokes that are just stupid, gross or both.


3.5

I loved this movie for some inexplicable reason. The running gag about Squeak "Little Bitch" Scolari is hilarious. Especially when they announce his name like that in one of the games. The story is pretty predictable but the characters are pretty funny, and the psych-outs make it worth watching. Also:

Squeak: "I don't even know why I hang out with you guys"
Coop: "Dude, cuz you're a piece of poo poo"
Squeak "I AM NOT a piece of poo poo"

LOL i dunno why but that line got me

4.0/5 for some great lines in an otherwise predictable comedy

I thought that part when he was listening to the radio was pretty funny. And how all the unsolved mysteries people were playing solitare.

The dildo/panties scene right in the beginning is awesome, rest of the movie is mostly drat funny too. An easy 4/5.

I saw the previews for this movie and thought it looked like the stupidest thing on the planet, but I was pleasantly surprised. 4/5

I tried watching this movie with a group of 5 or so friends and we had to turn it off because it was painfully not funny. However, I watched the movie the next day by myself and was thoroughly entertained. 3.5

I went in thinking this was going to be stupid, but it's actually great.

The little bitch joke was hilarious everytime they brought it up, and I laughed to tears when they say, "Hey, I hear your sister is going out with....SQUEAK!" It's your typical South Park humor, so you pretty much know what to expect from that point. I give it a 3.5. Amusing enough.

I found this movie at Target for $5.50 and I forgot just how much I loved it. Hilarious jokes, and it's a nice mixture between the wacky elements of "Airplane!" and the darker, more scatological humor of early Stone/Parker films.

"NO DADDY DON'T TOUCH ME THERE!"

5/5

Hey man. You're number one. Put it. In. The Bucket.
The advertising for this movie made it look horrible. I'm so glad my friend forced me to watch it back in high school. There are maybe 5 comedy movies ever made that I even remotely like- This is one of them.

5/5

In any mindset this movie is funny to me. It has made its way into every day conversations. Calling people little bitches, or anytime someone tries to do something. I have to pull a psyc-out(sp?)

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is 24.
Douglas "Swish" Reemer: Your bed is over here.
[indicates a dog bed]
Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: Dude, that is so fuckin' weak! How am I supposed to get a chick in that?
Joseph R. Cooper: Oh, don't worry, dude. You couldn't get a chick if you had a hundred dollar bill hanging out of your zipper.
Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: Yeah I could.
Douglas "Swish" Reemer: No. Dude, you're a little bitch!
Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: I am not! I don't even know why I hang out with you guys, anyway.
Joseph R. Cooper: 'Cause you're a piece of poo poo.
Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: I am not a piece of poo poo!
Douglas "Swish" Reemer: Yeah, but you're a little bitch.
Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: Goddammit! I swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times... I'm outta here!

Me: :laffo:

5/5 for sure.

Back in middle school this movie was the most hilarious thing I had ever seen. It was even better than the South Park movie. I have since overwatched it, and matured, but it is still, for me, a reliable comedy that doesn't fail to make me laugh out loud a few times each viewing. I wish these guys had made a few more live action flicks.

3.5/5
10/5 if you are 13

Hilarious, it makes a quite a jab at sports in America, and the corporations that run it.

The humour is broad, but still hilarious. There are lots of subtle visual gags, my favourite is near the beginning: There is a montage of corporate-branded stadia, like the Staples Arena. The last one is the Maxi Tampon Arena, and there is a white blimp in the background with a red tip. I always laugh at that point, and no-one else knows what I'm laughing at.

This film is perfect morning-after fodder. It doesn't require brain-power, and you never stop laughing.

5/5
