Stark Raving Mad Reviews

Oh boy… How did I end up watching this flick? That’s actually a rather long story… Every year, I go to a 2nd hand shop with 2 plastic bags full of DVDs to sell them and I go back home with the same bags full of brand new 2nd hand DVDs to watch the following year. Anyway, after 3 hours long looking for some rarities, I was finally done and I was paying the bill and ready to go home. However, at the cash register, since I bought so many DVD’s, I was allowed to take 2 more for free. On one hand, it was pretty neat but, on the other hand, I really didn’t feel like checking all those DVDs again so I quickly pick two and this movie was one of them. Even though I got it for free, it went right away to the very bottom of my DVD queue and since it contains 80 movies right now, it meant that I wouldn’t probably ever watch it. But, somehow, Nick, my step-son, seemed interested so we ended watching it yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn’t really good, I’m afraid. It was pretty nice to see Lou Diamond Philips who looked pretty awesome with his white hairdo. Concerning Seann William Scott, I have nothing against the guy and I think it was good for him to try something else, to be for once a tough guy than his usual Stifler figures. Still, he wasn’t really convincing as a lead character. And that’s the whole issue with this flick. There were some good ideas, here and there, but none of them were really convincing and the whole thing felt pretty half-baked. To conclude, even though I have seen worse, it is still pretty average and I don’t think it is really worth a look.

Bunch of B-grade actors are 'bank robbers', led by Sean-William Scott as the mastermind - ok, stop laughing ... serious... sean william is cast as the mastermind in this one.

They try to break into a bank vault located next to a rave club.

bank has sound detectors (????) but they won't be tripped off if the drilling they do to get to the vault stays below a certain decibel of the club noise.

and of course, when they start the heist and the dig, the owner of the club is complaining its too loud and wants to turn down the club DJ's volume.

Retardation of audience ensuses.


The only way I can explain why this completely idiotic film is getting over 6 on IMDB is thru the film 'Idiocracy', where the entire nation is getting dumbed down by Hollywood flicks like these.

Avoid at all costs. I've warned you.

This was a dark comedy that was pretty well made. Sean William Scott has put together a crew that is going to rob a bank. The bank is next to a club where he is promoting a rave. They try to go through the wall of the club and into the bank. Along the way a series of misfortunes occur as they attempt the robbery. It is a dark comedy with some funny scenes. Worth a night of watching cable movies.
