Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Jacob GPoints for being very original, that's what I'm giving here. It's sometimes Lynch-like, and Thornton pulls of the lead with perfection. Colourful it's not, but that's not the point. Enjoy this weird ride and the welltimed jokes.
User Review - 8/10 by Kim GCompletely daft, à la Coen Brothers (at their best) a lovely if smelly satire of Monsanto et al... all in all a shitty business
User Review - 8/10 by Walter MI was pleasantly surprised. I thought this was funny and beautifully filmed. I guess the Polish Brothers aren't for everybody.
User Review - 6/10 by Tamatai NIt is an absolute mess, but it still looks spectacular, has a great cast, an interesting storyline and some good gags, so the film certainly isn't a complete waste as you may be led to believe. A great one for a lazy afternoon.
User Review - 6/10 by Theresa AI really expected more out of a movie with Billy Bob Thornton. The cast is great with Tia Leone and Ed Helms among others. It was entertaining to pass the time, I guess but I can give it no more than 3 stars.
User Review - 6/10 by John PBilly Bob Thornton as a manure salesman, going against a chemical fertilizer company. Slightly entertaining, it has a few good lines but is really just a middling comedy. Recommended if you're bored and looking for something just a little off-beat.
User Review - 6/10 by Cain LFine, off putting at some points, but still genuinely entertaining comedy film.
User Review - 4/10 by Keith Man odd styled film. a bit like a coen brothers film but not to their level. it started out good, funny and a story line but then it kind of lost its way and became slow and dull.
User Review - 4/10 by Dave JTuesday, January 8, 2013 (2011) The Smell Of Success COMEDY Good ending but totally unfunny which stars Billy Bob Thorton as Patrick who works for a manure to fertilizer Rose company selling to farmers as their poential customers. The owner then passes away leaving the company in the hands of it's daughter Rosemary Rose played by Tea Leoni. She then finds out that her father has always been on debt resorting to laying off all it's workers. As a result of not knowing how to manage it, she then seeks the help to Patrick since he was supposedly to be the company's best seller again as well as 5 other employees to help pay off the debt. It is at that particular moment is when another fertilizer company drops in with attemptions to populate it's farming fields as opposed to Rose's. They battle it out but in an unfunny perhaps boring kind of way. Filmed on a stage but doesn't address the issue of trying to sell it somewhere else since they're farming communties all over. 2 out of 4
User Review - 2/10 by Marilee A:rotten: [b][color=yellowgreen]1/2[/color][/b] (out of four) [color=sienna]The Polish Brothers are a definite acquired taste. With [b][i]Manure[/i][/b] they perfect a visual style that is innovating, especially for and indy, but that's about it.[/color] [color=#a0522d][/color] [color=#a0522d]Billy Bob Thornton plays a worker at a manure company. When the owner dies, the man's daughter, played by Tea Leoni, resumes control of the company and starts making changes and stepping on toes.

The script, pacing, and acting are a mess. How many time can a line like "That's Bullsh*t!" be funny. I'm all for new types of stories and new ways of telling a tale, but at least make it viewable.
