The Antics Roadshow is a celebration of the pranksters, hoaxers, jokers, activists and stunt merchants who use public space for their own unauthorised ends. This film brings together a wide range of individuals with all sorts of motivations, who have all hijacked the public arena to make a noise, be it for comedic, artistic or political ends, and have all done so using a variety of illicit and eccentric methods, which the audience should probably not try at home.
Reviews
To me, this movie is perfection.
Nice effects though.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
I stumbled on this film on Netflix Streaming. The punny title caught my attention; the plot summary inspired me to click "play." What resulted over the next 46 minutes was an entertaining mishmash of dozens of different bits of "anarchy," ranging from the modern and viral (the Improv Everywhere movement that has brought you such favorite YouTube videos as "No Pants Subway Ride" and "Frozen Grand Central") to the political and illegal (a group of women disarming a warplane in 1996 to protect the people of East Timor). Nearly every story and every "anarchist" was unknown to me, so I found the overview fascinating, but I was disappointed that the filmmakers attempted to cover so many different tales without fully presenting any of them. This seems more like a series (with perhaps 1-2 stories per half hour episode) than a short documentary. Nonetheless, a good watch - just be prepared to be left wanting more.
