Excellent Seller December 29, 2009 L. Kimmerle (RI) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recieved this DVD in perfect condition and it was delivered quickly. I would buy from this seller again!
appealing... I think August 13, 2009 B. E Jackson (Pennsylvania) I honestly don't know why I'm giving Scorched such a high rating. It wasn't particularly funny, it was only sometimes interesting, the beginning of the film was nearly unwatchable because it was so awful, and yet, here I am giving the movie a 4 out of 5 rating!
It's about a bunch of people who work at a bank who develop their own ways to steal the money out of the safes. The story is actually carefully and somewhat intelligently put together, and some of the scenes near the middle of the film were really good (such as that one guy leaving his fancy home with a shotgun and walking down the street going after the people he believes are throwing eggs at the house, not to mention his little dog was hysterical too).
A very good moment at the very end of the film before the credits start rolling. I loved that ending. This is one of those "good enough to waste an hour and a half" type movies and not a classic case of comedy genius or anything.
Off base, irreverent, but fun. May 13, 2009 J. George (VI) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie plays off the indie irreverence style but has some interesting characters in a somewhat warped life. The movie has some funny scenes that keep you engaged as they develop character roles of a group of people lost in heir life and seeking new direction and purpose. Ironically they all reach similar conclusions over the same weekend and a parallel character study ensues. . . . a good watch for John Cleese or Woody Harrelson fans but also for those wanting an amusing diversion.
It will make you laugh.
See it Several Times February 8, 2007 F. John Caldwell Jr. (Atlantic City) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I loved this movie! The plot was pretty simple but the quirkiness made it really keep my interest. Note, for example, the shirts worn by the boy with the plane and Doleman. And what to heck is that on the boy's face? Also, watch Doleman's face during the opening credits. And watch the two "Monday" bank scenes closely. Notice any differences? Why was that scene filmed twice (other than the different character perspectives)? Oh yeah, see if anything strikes you as odd about the rubber arrow on Charles Merchant's face during his infomercial. These and other oddities that aren't tied to the plot make it clear that the director/writers/actors enjoyed making the movie which makes it fun to watch. I'd love to know where it was filmed and how accurate the bank temperature display was! It said 94 in the morning and 112 in the afternoon. Details that seem trivial are rarely in a film by accident so the quirks in this film help make it worth seeing a few times.
It should be better June 5, 2006 Jason (Backwater, Alabama) 1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Rachel Leigh Cook looks hot. Alicia Silverstone looks hot. Neither acts well.
Woody Harrelson desecrates his otherwise hilarious comedic record that produced gems like "White Men Can't Jump" and "Kingpin".
John Cleese, oh John Cleese, how could you stoop so low? From Monty Python to this?
With two hotties and two good actors, I really expected much more. Disappointment, oh how you taunt me.
Basically this is a movie about three borderline retarded people who are trying to rob the bank in which they work. Each one has an idiotic plan that is slightly more ingenious than eating paste.
If it weren't for the lesbian scene between Cook and Silverstone, the one that involves every ingredient from the Waffle Housee smothered, covered, diced, and chopped hash browns, it would be unwatchable. Of course, I just imagined that part to make the movie slightly tolerable.
In the end each viewer will eventually feel scorched, as in herpes, and dirty for watching a movie that serves a massive turd in the career punchbowl of all actors involved.
