Swiss Army Man Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The_Film_Auditor Swiss Army Man is a movie best summarized by a quote from the directors: "The first fart will make you laugh, the last fart will make you cry." The film tells the story of Hank Thompson, a depressed man stranded on an island whose life is changed when he discovers a dead body with the ability to aid him in survival. The film follows Hank and Manny (the dead body) as they develop a friendship and discover what makes life worth living.The first five minutes of the film are a bit silly and weird, but once you get used to the concept, the film turns into a beautiful story of friendship. The movie is not afraid to play around with its tone. Sometimes the film feels fun and hilarious, filled with montages and music. Other moments take a more serious tone, commenting on bullying, social norms, and suicide. Surprisingly, this works very well.On a technical level, Swiss Army Man is beautiful to both listen and look at. The soundtrack for the film, written by Andy Hull and Robert McDowell, is used beautifully to capture the emotions of the characters. The cinematography is vibrantly shot, utilizing reds, blues, and greens to compose wonderful visuals. Even the set design is delightful despite the film taking place primarily in the woods.Both Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe give fantastic performances. Dano and Radcliffe have terrific chemistry, making their characters' relationship feel genuine. Radcliffe is hilarious as a dead body. What he does with his face and body is impressive; he makes himself look dead, but still full of emotion. Their performances are what drives the movie and makes this ridiculous concept work.Despite making fart and dick jokes, the film is not afraid to comment on topics such as conformity, exclusion, self-love, and being yourself. This film is best seen blind. The trailer does not give justice to this wonderfully original, touching film.The Good -Amazing soundtrack -Fantastic performances from Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe -Heart warming -Creative story -Hilarious -Takes risks that pay off -Easily relatable characters -Powerful symbolism and messageThe Bad -The ending can be confusing on first viewing
SnoopyStyle Hank Thompson (Paul Dano) is a castaway on a deserted island. He's preparing to hang himself when a body (Daniel Radcliffe) washes ashore. Using body gases, he rides the body like a jet ski back to the mainland. He starts talking to the body giving it the name Manny and teaching it rudimentary skills. Manny produces magical miracles to help him survive.Farts! Farts! Farts! I'm not offended but after some slightly amusing starting wackiness, the weirdness starts to bore me. None of it actually funny and it becomes more repetitive as it goes along. It's definitely unlike most other movies and I give it points for being different. It's great to see something unusual but otherwise, I would suggest skipping this.
MrAlanChristoph Great performances by Dano & Radcliffe. I found the Radcliffe's compass penis and flatulence speedboat hilarious. I was quite disappointed that Dano's character didn't get together with the woman he loved though and she appeared to be married with a daughter but otherwise, this was a truly brilliant buddy comedy.
masonissuperman Swiss Army Man opens with 5 minutes of fart jokes which really sets the scene for this movie. If you find stuff like that funny this movie will make an alright comedy, if you don't this movie has very little redeeming factors.If it was solely a toilet humor comedy I wouldn't really have an issue with this movei but it tries to be philosophical (not subtlety either) having this whole 'enjoy life for what its worth' message to it. Which is a message that has been done millions of times before.Another thing is that this movie is 97 minutes long which it really doesn't need to be but the directors seem so intent on drilling this message into your head they have to derail the objective of the main characters every 5 minutes to show you the 'value of the little things in life'.By far the best thing in this film is the way it's shot during the montages other than that this movie is mediocre at best.Swiss Army Man isn't offensively bad but it isn't worth your time.
