This movie was a complete surprise. Like the kind of surprise you'd get finding out you've been living next to a level 10 sex offender for the past three years.Home sick for the day, I popped this film into the DVD player and fell back on the couch in a fog. It may have been the cold medicine talking, but... "WTF was THAT?!!" is all I would say for the next couple of hours, then hit the rewind button to laugh at it all over again.Hacks has some of the most _________, ________, _______ (insert your favorite uncomfortable stereotype in the blanks), inappropriate, under-medicated, off-color, marginally-criminal, deeply disturbed and hilarious humor imaginable.I found myself laughing out loud at several scenes and picking my jaw up from the floor on others. It's not a film for everyone to be sure. There are more than a few cringe-inducing scenes...but if you have a sardonic streak and possess a strong sense of irony, you'll get it.

I don;t think making fun of retardid people is very funny but there's a lot of funny other stuf in this like a white guy playing a black rapper and a middleage lesbian who tells vagina jokes. I couldnt help but laugh a lot. My brother is in a wheelchair and he does fall down sometimes and sometimes it IS funny. I also like the music. The nudity is scary and funny - that something you dont see every day.

I saw this film at the Orinda Film Festival and it did great with the inexperienced movie audience from Orinda. The film was not original, nearly a carbon-copy of previously released Christopher Guest Films. I mean the main character is a emulation of Corky St. Clair (Waiting for Guffman). The acting, however, was very impressive and the film itself is decent, but it isn't close to the creativity of a properly done film of this kind. Go see waiting for Guffman, Spinal Tap, Best in Show, or A Mighty Wind.

This is a funny movie with a serious point. Excellently written and directed. Good acting. If you like truthful, irreverent movies with outrageous humor, this movie will have you laughing so much there will be no time for popcorn. If you have a more restrained sense of humor, are offended by ethnic jokes, or don't care about using humor to get to the truth, you qualify for more popcorn. But you will also leave the theater with a full belly of entertainment and a few humorous moments where even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse could not restrain the guffaws.Hacks is about some incredibly lousy stand-up comics in New York City and the inept agency that manages them. See the movie to get the point.
