Too much of everything

Better Late Then Never

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This movie and these guys were just way too cute. It's truly worth the watch. They definitely added little touches which made this movie their own. On top of it all it was intelligent and tastefully done. They left nothing to the imagination. In the same fashion as South Park, Family Guy and the Simpson's, it was superb!!

The "filmmakers" have produced an awful film, but that's precisely the point. The high school actors seem to be winking at us,as if to say, "Yes, me in bad movie, and me proud of it."This is a comedy in the tradition of "Date Move," "Epic Movie," and "Sleepover." Unfortunately, the director, Travis Irvine, fails to understand that true comedy works when it is taken seriously. That's why classic spoofs like "Airplane!" and "Cannibal! The Musical" work: because the actors act as if they are in a serious drama."Coons" was featured at the 2006 TromaDance. It was the worst film of the night. Perhaps the cast and crew had set low standards for themselves. One would guess, by the obvious lack of production value, that the only goal Irvine and his team had in mind was "Let's make a horrible movie!"They certainly have succeeded. "Coons" is unfunny, and not only that, it lacks skill and professionalism. Even terrible comedies like "Epic Movie" at least aim for quality in cinematography and acting. Take for instance the poor casting. Rather than casting professional, talented comedians, Irvine cast young men who look like high school students, dressed them up in wigs and costumes, and then made them recite raccoon jokes. It looks like the worst high school play you've ever seen.But again, that was the point. "Coons" fails as a comedy but succeeds as one of the worst independent "films" ever produced. I'm sure Travis Irvine and his crew are out there somewhere, smiling as they read this, convinced that they have made the best bad film ever. Yes, indeed, they have.

I must admit this is the first 'amateur' film I have seen but it is anything but. Absolutely brilliant, the film flew past and I enjoyed every minute of it. The one thing about this production is the little details, all of the extras they included to beef up the script which made it so much funnier - and some of the 'inappropriate' jokes were brilliant, had me laughing through out I am genuine impressed and can't wait for their next production! I am sure they have a good career ahead of them. An earlier comment mentioned the originators of South Park and I know it's a real cliché but I do agree totally and understand where they're coming from.Keep up the good work!

This movie is one of those surefire flicks to strike the humor cord amongst the generation X crowd. Extremely well done for the budget it was given, the screenplay and directing I thought was well above average. A select few characters make the film, such as the "Shane" character, whom acts as a gay park ranger, steals the show. I thought some of the development of the characters could have been better, though the film did not lack substance and kept the viewer wondering what kind of crazy, wild antics would happen next. A perfect rent for those who crave the "Scary Movie" type of genre- I hope these guys get together again in the near future to follow up Coons!
