Halle Berry and Stephen Merchant in a game of truth or dare, Gerard Butler as a leprechaun and Jason Sudeikis as a fake Batman on a speed date with Wonder Woman. No I’m not having a nervous breakdown; these are just some of the scenes from the insane Movie 43.
The directors have taken a different approach to movie scripting and plots for this film, the difference mainly being that there isn’t really a plot at all. The various sketches that make up Movie 43 are loosely tied together by three kids scouring the Internet to try and find the most banned movie in the world. There really doesn’t seem to be any need for all of the scenes to interconnect and it’s almost like the creators felt they needed to justify going a bit crazy. Let’s face it; if you go to the cinemas to watch someone get a tattoo of a p***s on their cheek, you’re hardly looking for a powerful and driven story.
The great thing for this film is that amongst the hundreds of cast members, there are some star appearances. Aside from the obvious funny men Seth MacFarlane and Seann William Scott, the film also includes the likes of Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet and Uma Thurman. It’s as if all of the big names have just decided to go to a massive party and let their hair down. The trouble with these actors is they’re not known for being funny, and if Movie 43 doesn’t get laughs then what’s the point in it? The directors can but hope that once they’ve thrown all of the A-listers into the blender; we don’t end up in something horrible and sour.
One thing is for certain: this film is a risk. It is never going to smash box office records (mainly because most people have no idea what it is) and could very easily be a movie flop to rival John Carter. All that’s known for certain is it’s a new idea and one I don’t think we will see again for a very long time.

Almost all of the reviews I’ve read about this have said that it was such a terrible film. I still find myself really wanting to see it though. I feel like it would be funny to me. Never trust critics! Thanks for the post!
Okay – I admit that I let my 23 year old son drag me to this movie. He just knew it was going to be hilarious. He thought so and while there were some funny parts, and I did enjoy seeing so many actors, this type of spoof movie is not my cup of tea. Of course my son and husband also think the Three Stooges are funny too! Maybe I have just lost my sense of humor!
That picture is funny! I’m not sure if I’d want to see it or not, though.
I may need more info to make a decision on this one. it has potential to be great and potential to be horrible.
I heard about this on the news recently (I think that’s where it was). It’s the big names that really draw people in I’d say because it does sound a bit out there. Sounds like they did want to just have fun.
I couldn’t imagine that many big names not making a great movie!
The amount of celebrities made me think about seeing this, but the trailer made me wonder. I may wait until we can rent it so we’re only out $1 instead of $22.
I feel so out of the loop. I’ve never even heard of this movie. Maybe it’s because the only networks I watch are Sprout or Disney Jr. Lol.
This sounds very interesting.
I was amazed at all the A list celebrities in this. I do want to watch it when it comes out to DVD.
I’ve never heard of it but I do love me some Gerard Butler!
I’m not to sure about this one. I think it is one I will see if there is nothing else on. Or if I am looking to just laugh my butt off.
Love Halle Berry!
I LOVE your disclaimer. LOL I actually want to see this but Chris doesn’t – it’s probably going to be an On-Demand movie I watch one night while he’s at the gym!
It sounds interesting.
Sounds very interesting!
I haven’t heard of this but I’m interested because of all the A-listers involved.
havent heard of this movie yet, but sounds a little weird. i will probably wait till it comes out on dvd or blu ray before i watch it. thanks for the review.
My hubs and his sister saw it and enjoyed it – I had no interest.
I’ve never heard of this one.
I haven’t heard of this movie.

I’m not so sure this is my type of movie, seems a little too different for me, but it does have some great stars in it!
