How sad is this?
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
This movie definitely is not for everyone but the critics are probably too young to remember movies with cinema drag queen Divine. Assholes can get downright nasty at times just like it's animal namesake. It was hard to watch sloppy French kissing replete with recreational petroleum-based inhalants and gaping herpes sores. And I could have done just fine without the ass-eating montage. But hey, it's to be expected considering the name of the flick. The final minutes take an abrupt left turn but the introduction to two new assholes makes the odd segue fit just fine. If you enjoy crude and quirky, darker than dark humor from often strange characters, open your mind and close your mouth around Assholes.
