    Seth Green deadpans (no pun intended) with skill. Sawa is a little too far over the top, but I had a lot of fun with this movie anyway.

    Seeing Kelly Monaco's bare cones was easily the best part of this movie. [Though Jessica Alba is clearly off the hook, too]

    Maybe it was supposed to be scary, but it turned out to be one the most funny movies ever.

    As stupefyng as Idle Hands is while the title appendage is still attached to Anton, it goes into a whole other realm of godawfulness when the demon digits take off on their own.

    Loaded with smart sight gags and endearing secondary characters, it effectively mixes slapstick splatter and deadpan satire...Pretty damned irresistible.
