For some reason i am intrigued by this movie and it has always been $19.99. now, it is $14.99 at BB next week and wondering if I should pick it up. i like the fact that it has two versions of the film.

now, bear in mind i have never, ever seen a full episode of the show and have maybe seen teeny, tiny bits.

thanks for comments.

No, based on your comments. It's a rental at best. I love ATHF, and hated the movie.

gtk. scratch that off the list. i just don't know if my BBV carries it any more. why exactly did you hate it?
thanks josh.

It seemed to lack what the 12 minute episodes brought. Let's face it, there's very real consistent, comprehensible plot through the episode. This one has a plot, but the jokes and sight gags as well as the aimlessness of the characters really got old quickly. It just didn't seem fresh to me, almost like an ATHF episode stretched out to 70 minutes.

I'm the same, loved ATHF, hated the movie. The movie lacked any sort of plot (which considering how the show goes, it actually just light critisicm), and was way to heavy on the gross factor which I consider a weak point of the show. I would however, suggest picking up season 1 or 2 of the show if you've never seen it.

I'd say it's almost worth the $15 for the Patti Smith commentary track alone!

I love the show and loved the movie; especially the ending (which I'm not gonna spoil.) It is kind of a different animal, though. It takes a bit of getting used to; an AQHF that actually moves through acts and even HAS an actual ending!??

i think it is something about that cover art that i love. i think i could get into weird and aimless. i dunno...

The series works, the movie didn't. The bonus features are worth the purchase, but not for the movie.

And the 2nd version of the movie isn't fully animated. It's just drawings and things with voiceovers.

Mark me down for like the show, liked the movie and loved the DVD. The opening of the movie is pretty much the funniest thing I saw all year.

I was expecting it to be total balls, but it turned out pretty good.

Plus... it is hands down the best cover art of the year. I mean not only is it the movie poster (for once)... the poster is fucking insane!

Scott, here's my two cents.

Love the show, but agree that it pretty much is best in small servings. The movie was enjoyable, but not worth more than $5 in my opinion.

And really, you should never pay more than $5 for a SD DVD. Between columbia house, ch, other deals, and waiting, $5 is the price point for almost everything non-HD.

You should just get the episode collections, #3 being the best.

#5 comes out next week, and it has my favorite episode, Handbanana:

Love the show, but my favorite part of the movie was the "Let's all go to the lobby" parody before it started.
