It’s a clever flick with an undercurrent of social commentary about how the bar for just being considered worthwhile in this world can depend on the size of your inheritance.

By the end of the film, I was quite enjoying spending some time with them, despite wanting so badly to flee the scene at the beginning of the film. I suppose that, once in a while, an acquired taste proves all the more satisfying.

The film refuses to go in predictable directions, unveiling bizarre side characters and travelling down odd narrative backroads. But that occasional bagginess also allows for a richly textured picture bursting with energy.

When Idiots wraps up, one can appreciate the wild ride it provides, but there's also the feeling where the film maybe could have taken things a few steps further.

Idiots is funny, volatile, and genuinely melancholic, the work of a filmmaker who is first and foremost a movie fan...It also has a very good projectile diarrhea joke.

The Shitheads is one of the festival’s surprises. This is fun, entertaining, and a palate cleanser after seeing a lot of heavy subject films. It’s a hilarious film featuring unexpected situations and strong performances from Jackson and Franco.
