Now "The Onion Movie" is somewhat of a baffling movie experience. It is odd in the terms that there is no coherency to the movie as it trots along; yeah, there isn't a real story to be followed as you sit through this movie. So calling it a "movie" is somewhat of a farce in itself.
But still, the 2008 "The Onion Movie" from writers Todd Hanson and Robert Siegel actually turned out to be rather entertaining and enjoyable. This isn't a comedy that will make you cry tears of laughter, but it is funny enough and making some really great satirical jabs at the world, the situation of society and the stupidity of humankind.
Directors Tom Kuntz and Mike Maguire actually managed to take a whole bunch of random sketches and make it fell like a unified wholesome. Some of the sketches throughout the course of this "movie" was actually more enjoyable than others, which is natural when putting an assortment of sketches together.
It was impressive with the array of cast performers that they actually got to make an appearance in this movie. It was some of the best things about the movie, with the likes of Steven Seagal, Michael Bolton, Daniel Dae Kim, Brendan Fletcher, Rodney Dangerfield and Meredith Baxter.
While this movie didn't really make me laugh, it managed to make me in a good mood and put a smile on my lips. I enjoyed watching the hilarious spoofs on world situations and the interactions of mankind.
I think "The Onion Movie" is hardly as movie that will be appealing to just everybody, as it does take a certain kind of humor to appreciate the sketches here. But I did enjoy it, and I am rating "The Onion Movie" a well-deserving six out of ten stars.
