“Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters”
By: Michael Pickowicz
Here’s a movie I’ve been waiting for a long time. It’s the film whose promotions not only caused a panic in Boston, but also got the head of Cartoon Network to resign his position. That movie is none other than “Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters.” Now, those crazy food items are back and ready to cause more comedic chaos, big screen style.
“Aqua Teen Hunger Force” is an animated comedy that follows the ongoing adventures of Master Shake, a milkshake, Frylock, a side of fries, and Meatwad, the transforming ball of meat. While it’s difficult to describe the plot of this movie, I can basically say it involves an ancient piece of exercise equipment, the Aqua Teen’s origins, Time Traveling Lincoln, star swipes and an evil slice of watermelon.
If you’ve never cared for “Aqua Teen Huger Force” the show, I find it hard to believe that you’ll like this movie. This movie makes no sense whatsoever. For fans of the show, myself being included, this is one of the bests attributes of the show. Also, this movie includes so many inside references to the show, it would almost be impossible for anyone unfamiliar with the characters to follow along.
The “Aqua Teen Huger Force” movie retains all the same funny jokes that the show has. That being said, this movie is insanely funny and is easily on par with the humor of the first few seasons of the series. For those who are unfamiliar with the series, here’s a quick test: Do you find blasting kittens out of plasma cannons to attract woman funny? If so, this movie’s for you. Returning are some fan favorite characters including Carl, the Plutonians, the Mooninites and, my personal favorite, The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past. Their interactions with the Aqua Teen crew are as hysterical as always, providing conversations that go nowhere and mean nothing. Also, fans can look forward to most of the series “loose ends” to be tied during this movie.
While I did find the movie great, I did have some complaints, as a fan, which seemed to damper the film. First of all, the movie is far too long. One of the best aspects of the television show is that it’s simply 15 minutes of random humor. Here, we get over 90 minutes worth. While it remains funny through out, I find this type of comedy is better in small doses. I also found the movie to be too held back. No risks are really taken in the movie, as characters act just how you would expect them to act in a normal episode. Everyone spouts the usual lines you would expect from them over and over again. While still funny, it makes you wonder if [Adult Swim] could have easily made this into a direct-to-television movie and saved us the eight bucks.
If you’re a fan of the show “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”, you will love this movie and know what to expect from it. It’s easily some of the best humor the show has put out. None of it makes sense, but that’s its appeal. That said, nothing new really is brought to the table, as it feels like an extended episode. Also, even the most die hard fans may find the length hard to handle. While “Aqua Teen Huger Force” plays out like a long television episode, this is in no way a bad thing for fans that have grown attached to their favorite fast food object’s brand of wacky, random and tasteless humor. This movie receives 3 ½ Bulldogs out of 5.
