Cooties [Blu-ray + Digital HD] cover

 

Cooties [Blu-ray + Digital HD]
 

 Review by Suzanne Lanoue 12/1/15

I was hoping this would be a funny movie because I really love the actors in it, particularly the stars Elijah Wood and Rainn Wilson (both of whom I've interviewed in the past).  However, it's a really horrible, unfunny, bad movie. I couldn't stomach too much of it. It has nothing but bad jokes and unrealistic characters. It's just stupid and gory for no reason.

Honestly, even just the opening credits, where they show a chicken being killed and processed into food, is bad enough. It's really gross. Maybe vegetarians made it, but I would think they could do a better job than this.

All of the fine actors in this are wasted in this movie. I wonder why they did it? Do any of them need the money this badly?  Wood plays a very similar character to the one he played in "Wilfred," yet far less interesting.  He's a whiny teacher; a wanna-be writer. He's what they used to call a milktoast. Everyone in this show just acts very zany, but for no reason. I would skip it.

It has a featurette about the movie, some deleted scenes, a gag reel, an alternate ending, audio commentary and a feature called "Talking Cooties." You should only watch it if you really enjoyed the movie.
