One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I LIKED this movie. it was funny, had GOOD actors; wasn't too long and had a neat Scify plot. Did not insult my intelligence. I usually can'f handle too much Tom Green as he gets a little too nasty-for-the-sake-of-nasty-without-funny for my taste. but he was really good in this. He could so be a good dramatic actor if he wanted to. Hated to see him so old and heavy looking. This was my first time to notice Sarain Boylain, who was superb and should have gotten top billing with tom and Crispin glover. The scenery was good. The special effects were smart. i noticed that they shot some scenes leaving the special effects to one's imagination without actually showing the space technology, relying on the actors to make it work ---and they DO! Plot sounds a little cheesy, but they carry it out very well. Didn't recognize Crispin glover until after i watched it, then went back for another look. He was made for that part. Enjoy!

Against my better judgement, I watched this movie with Tom Green. I can stomach his brand of comedy only in small doses, but I think he is generally a decent dude. I do feel that Freddy Got Fingered is one of the worst films ever made.Here Green is an actor only, not a writer or director, and he deliberately underplays his role. Exactly the right move. Maybe I should credit the director for using Tom in the best way he could have possibly been used. The film is very light on Green's usual shenanigans. Nobody has intimate relations with a dead moose. Nobody's bum is on a rail.Sure, the whole tone is tongue-in-cheek. Sure, we've seen plenty of alien invasion movies before. We've even seen plenty of comedy alien invasion movies before. We've also seen before the comedy about a dying small town filled with plenty of "local color," and it seen it many times. But somehow, FREEZER BURN transcends all those potential hazards.The dialog is pretty damn clever, the characters are well-drawn, and the script's ducks are in a row as far as plot development. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I was going to. This is definitely one of those magic movie-making experiences where the whole adds up to way way more than the sum of its parts.And I sure was not aware of the deadly properties of a hockey puck, er, I mean, an Eskimo Pie.If you don't like goofy comedies then I would stay away, but otherwise, this is an offbeat flick that you might find to be a pleasant way to spend 90 minutes.Best movie I've seen this week filmed in Alberta.

Had never heard of this movie, but it was on cable and I watched it.I like SciFi and dumb comedies and this has both. If you like movies like 'Mars Attacks' then you'll probably like this one.No gore. Just pretty dumb fun. I thought it was pretty silly at times, but really liked it. A town is invaded by aliens who intend to turn Earth into a vacation spot for aliens. In order to do this they need to raise the temperature of the Earth. They also plan on turning the humans into slaves.The aliens pretend to be humans who represent a large corporation and take over a town by promising everyone jobs at a facility they are building in town. The facility they are building is a cover for their real work of getting the Earth ready as their vacation spot.A washed up hockey player - turned town drunk - discovers they are aliens, teams up with another person and they decide to fight the aliens.The final fight between the aliens and our 'heroes' is quite funny. What they use for weapons is something I've never seen. One of the weapons used against the aliens is Slurpee fired from a child's plastic gun.I recommend you try it, if you get a chance to see this movie.

I find Tom Green is very underrated. He shows great potential in his films and shows alike. Crispin Glover, I think, is a very good actor. That's why when I saw Freezer Burn: The Invasion Of Laxdale in my local video store, I was more than glad to rent it. My theory that this might be terrible was right. This is a horror comedy that's not creepy or funny at all. Tom Green is terrible as ex-hockey player Bill Swanson, who must save the small town of Laxdale from a group of aliens who want to make Laxdale their own little paradise. This pack of aliens is lead by Viergacht (Crispin Glover). Glover is terrible, just sitting there, vapidly dull, not even required to say a word. As for the movie itself, the movie is also vapidly dull. It just lies there on the floor waiting for a good scare or a good laugh, which never even comes close to happening. The movie is nowhere close to original, and is nothing that I haven't seen before. In fact, I've seen being done 100 times better before. This is a terrible movie both in and out, and I think you should do yourself a big favor and skip this one.
