Freezer Burn: The Invasion of Laxdale Audience Reviews

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
slyfieldse I LIKED this movie. it was funny, had GOOD actors; wasn't too long and had a neat Scify plot. Did not insult my intelligence. I usually can'f handle too much Tom Green as he gets a little too nasty-for-the-sake-of-nasty-without-funny for my taste. but he was really good in this. He could so be a good dramatic actor if he wanted to. Hated to see him so old and heavy looking. This was my first time to notice Sarain Boylain, who was superb and should have gotten top billing with tom and Crispin glover. The scenery was good. The special effects were smart. i noticed that they shot some scenes leaving the special effects to one's imagination without actually showing the space technology, relying on the actors to make it work ---and they DO! Plot sounds a little cheesy, but they carry it out very well. Didn't recognize Crispin glover until after i watched it, then went back for another look. He was made for that part. Enjoy!
Nick I hate to be one that gives a low vote, but this time i have to. I seriously LOVE Tom Green. I've seen pretty much everything he have done. He is the best comedian ever. That's why i gave this movie a chance. Well, this was a waste of my time.. It's really bad. Tom is a good actor and all, but he doesn't deliver his crazyness in this movie. He isn't funny at all. No one in this movie is funny. This alien parody is made to seriously to be funny, but too dumb to be taken seriously. It's just awful.I would not recommend anyone to watch this movie. It's not the worst i've seen in my life, but it's really bad. That's why i give it 3/10. I hate myself a little for giving a movie with Tom Green that low rating, but i have no choice. You can watch it yourself to see what i mean. Or you can watch his great movie Freddy Got Fingered! Bob the Butler is also pretty funny, but not as great as Freddy Got Fingered.So that's all i can say. Stay away from this and watch some of his other movies instead!
Jackpollins I find Tom Green is very underrated. He shows great potential in his films and shows alike. Crispin Glover, I think, is a very good actor. That's why when I saw Freezer Burn: The Invasion Of Laxdale in my local video store, I was more than glad to rent it. My theory that this might be terrible was right. This is a horror comedy that's not creepy or funny at all. Tom Green is terrible as ex-hockey player Bill Swanson, who must save the small town of Laxdale from a group of aliens who want to make Laxdale their own little paradise. This pack of aliens is lead by Viergacht (Crispin Glover). Glover is terrible, just sitting there, vapidly dull, not even required to say a word. As for the movie itself, the movie is also vapidly dull. It just lies there on the floor waiting for a good scare or a good laugh, which never even comes close to happening. The movie is nowhere close to original, and is nothing that I haven't seen before. In fact, I've seen being done 100 times better before. This is a terrible movie both in and out, and I think you should do yourself a big favor and skip this one.
chicagopoetry There are about five or six pretty good laughs in Freezer Burn but otherwise this one drops flat in the hee haw department. Other than some awkwardly used f-words this is as tame as a PG movie made for kids. The special effects are Ghostbusterish, with aliens popping slime and getting stabbed by Popsicles. It's not that hard to make a funny movie about a has-been sports idol, just think Kingpin or Bad News Bears, so Freezer Burn starts out with some potential: a former hockey big shot turned drunk uncovers a plot by some outer space dudes to turn the world into their personal Club Med. How can you go wrong with a plot as outrageous as that? But the pacing of Slap Shot doesn't exist, and the Canadian jokes wear thin after about twenty minutes, and Crispin Glover is just horrible, and I mean horrible. They must have shot all his scenes in a rush in a single day because he wasn't even required to speak most of the time. Too much time is spent actually trying to tell a story of a developing relationship, when it would have been wiser to concentrate on the wacky townsfolk. In fact, the movies would have been funnier if the two pot smoking streakers were the heroes instead of the hockey player, who seemed to go through the depressed motions of it all. And his dog dies. Not cool.
