I’m catching up on some summer movie hits that I missed out on. Namely, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres, which has been out on DVD since August. My colleague Edward gave a beaming review of the film back in April, but as I sat through it last night I started siding with the older crowd. USA Today said, “As a whole, though, it's definitely for devotees only, and is unlikely to earn any new converts.”
The problem is I am a devotee. I love Aqua Teen Hunger Force, but apparently only in 15-minute doses (the usual runtime per episode). The 79 minutes just bored me, and too many times the writers attempted to push along the non-existent plot instead of giving the audience unrelated, throwaway jokes. That is what Aqua Teen is all about. Not making sense and rarely tying together the last scene with the next, especially not over a 79-minute period.
I wanted my cheap laughs and I didn’t get many. I’d be much better off saving my time and my $3.99 for OnDemand and just watching an episode.
