Evicted

Let me preface any and all comments w/ the following disclaimer: I have absolutely no relation, association, or connection with the filmmakers and/or principals of this film, other than deciding to further investigate Michael Tierney after viewing (He's so Adorable;So Hep!) I mean, Yeah, it's a "Repo Man" "homage"-to-the-point-of "ripoff", but as an elderly (40) Recovering Punk-Rocker, I thought they captured the general punk ethos/spirit/whatever, along w/ Cali Acid Damage, very well! I bought this for A Dollar, so maybe that DOES color my critical thinking skills here--It was SUCH a pleasant surprise; you gotta dig thru a WHOLE LOTTA CACA to find the DVD gems @ the 99-cent-store! Lesha Holland loved this flick for what it was!

I rented this so-called film just today from Blockbuster because there's a quote on it reads that it's a cult-classic. I was badly mugged.

Cult-classic?! Yeah, if you happen to be part a cult of drugged low-life zombie-like slackers. The idea for the film seemed OK, and that intent was to make like fireworks. But the film ended up an atomic bomb.

This is the worst film that's it's ever been my displeasure to see, and I'd have to be dead to watch it again. It just looks like the makers of this cheap trash got drugged, got a camcorder, dragged Shannon Elizabeth and filmed a couple of typical stoner-slackers around exposing their pitiful existences, and other idiots they encounter; including the father of the non-crippled slacker who has a more irritating voice than Steve McFadden.

Basically the two main characters have no life; no job and basically no money. All they do is smoke, take drugs, drink beer and milk (of which the label design just have "Beer" and "Milk", which looks like they raised the money for the film by going round picking money up from the ground), go around meeting other slackers, and speak like drugged zombies . Their speechlessly mad landlord evicts them from their apartment, so the two idiots decide to throw a party in the flat on their last night there by trashing it and being really noisy in the intention of annoying the landlord. That's it, really.

I couldn't finish this film because I got so bored and repulsed watching it, so I don't know how it ends, and frankly I couldn't give a bleeding crap. Practically no script which lacks progression, very deadbeat and pretty poor acting (Shannon Elizabeth was OK) and no entertainment. In fact, you'll get more entertainment by twiddling your thumbs over and over. Yes, it's seriously that bad! The people behind this "film" should receive a life ban on making films.

Don't ever consider watching this, even if you really like Shannon Elizabeth (she only appears briefly in a few scenes, anyway). And that brings me to the fact that she is on the front cover, this is obviously very misleading and deceiving, and that they've done it just to lure people into watching this long load of rubbish. Take absolutely no notice of positive reviews or quotes made about this film to save yourself 100 minutes; even though you'll most probably give up on this film before the end, if you ever pluck up the courage to watch it as a frightful joke (and even then I'm concerned for your sanity).

WORST. MOVIE. EVER.

I rented this because...well, I don't know why. This movie is utter garbage. The acting is unbelievably bad, the directing sucks, and the plot doesn't exist.

The movie was so low budget that they couldn't even afford anything with a label on it. The beer is BEER brand and the milk is MILK brand.

The brothers in this were in two other movies together. One rated a 1.6/10 and the other a 2.8/10.

Don't be deceived by Shannon Elizabeth on the cover. Its a trap! The movie will give you brain damage!

I'm sure they had good intentions when making this, but why did they have to put it out on DVD?

My guess is that the only way this film got made was because Lawrence Tierney was the uncle of the writer/director/lead actor of this thing. The elder Tierney sounded awful and it comes as no surprise that he passed away not long after this was made.

The whopper of a plot is a joke. Two slackers don't work and they are getting evicted from their apartment. They throw a lame party and trash the place. That is it. I mean...really, really it. The "script" consists of non-stop swearing, plenty of drinking and drug use, and bad parts culled from other bad films. In one scene a guy pours beer in his cereal instead of milk. Seen that before. There's also the part where beer is referred to as the "breakfast of champions". Seen that before. They even included the crusty old gag where some girl totally chews out a guy and the guy's pal says, "I think she likes you." Morons.

My guess is that the people who gave this a 10 were intimately involved with the making or distribution of this picture. I really can't even think of one nice thing to say about "Evicted" so that I don't sound totally negative. Shannon Elizabeth couldn't even be called a supporting actress in this. She literally only has a handful of lines and is barely seen at all. To prominently place her on the cover of the DVD is completely false advertising and the people at York Entertainment are crummy for tricking consumers. 1/10

The concept for the film sounded like an alright nights viewing; two dudes have party and take lots of drugs. But straight from the beginning i knew this was not the case. This film looks as though it was funded by money found on the floor and filmed with a camera found in the bin, but that didn't stop me watching it, i needed to know the point to the film, and by the end did i find one, let me think, no. It does present an image of Hollywood that is not portrayed in many films today, the seedy dirty side where the normal people exist. And its good to see that there are bum stoner's in the land of peroxide and silicone.

The director/actor/writer of the film clearly sees himself as some kind smooth new hotshot, but the fact of the matter is, his acting couldn't be any worse. he walks around mumbling and over acting his lines, trying to act super cool. Oh and Shannon Elizabeth, the tits from American pie, is in it for about as long as it take to say, pointless.

Watch this film at your own risk. Just make sure your not sober and you didn't pay.
