Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy) [Blu-ray]

Product Description

Two wacky, novice filmmakers receive a billion dollars to make a movie, only to squander every dime. Afraid for their lives, they attempt to revitalize a failing shopping mall to make the money back. Featuring cameos from some of the biggest names in comedy!

Amazon.com

Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim specialize in a style of comedy in which the awkward pauses between laughs are at least as important as the actual jokes. When taken in the 15-minute chunks of their various television projects for Adult Swim, the results can be both strangely hilarious and cerebrally upsetting--the sort of thing David Lynch might produce if given the keys to a public access studio. Watching their first feature, however, can leave the viewer feeling like they've been locked inside with Lynch for a four-day weekend. All of the duo's trademarks are present--the unsettling close-ups, the lovingly crafted re-creations of late-night commercials, a supporting cast that seems to have stumbled directly out of the Star Wars cantina--but 90 minutes of this may just be too much of a weird thing, really. Beginning with a hysterically dead-on parody of modern studio credits, the story finds Tim & Eric on the run from the mob after blowing a billion dollars on a 15-minute movie. Looking to repay the debt to the Godfather (Robert Loggia, still terrifying after all these years), they find themselves in charge of a rundown mall packed to the rafters with oddballs, including a jittery Top Gun enthusiast (Will Ferrell), a sickly Wolf-Boy (John C. Reilly), and a ghost haunting the yogurt stand. Then things get weird. There are some very, very funny moments scattered throughout Billion Dollar Movie's running time--most notably a transcendentally disgusting love scene that could very well end the existence of Valentine's Day--but even the most ardent fans may find themselves wishing for a pause button and some fresh air midway through. Newbies and/or the queasy, meanwhile, are advised to get their affairs in order with an attorney before viewing. --Andrew Wright

    3.0 out of 5 stars I am The Bait, January 28, 2012

    My wife and I are big T&E fans... I'll admit that I'm a much bigger fan than my wife, but we both love their work on TGTTM and T&EASGJ!, not to mention the many other pies they have their fingers in. I have watched every episode of the aforementioned shows so many times that I'm surprised that there's room for anything in my brain *aside* from Tim and Eric quotes at this point.

    Now that B$M is out, the Internets are filling with 5- or 10-star reviews from other fellow fans. So I guess I'll be the first to say that we were both a little let down by the movie.

    A lot of folks have commented that this is "just like Awesome Show." I agree and disagree, and on both fronts it's not necessarily a 100% good thing. A great number of the gags are things that have been effectively recycled from past Awesome Show episodes. Stretched out to cinema pace and viewed through the "clearer" eye of film, the recycled stuff doesn't work nearly as well as it did when new... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars 100 years in the business, March 5, 2012
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    Another winner by timanderic.com. This movie was inspired by Jackie Chan's 100 years in show business. My dad would be so proud of the boys but is unable to hear the movie because of an unfortunate incident with the trumpets.

    5.0 out of 5 stars You'll only like this, consider it, or buy it if you KNOW you are into it, March 3, 2012
    This review is from: Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie (Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
    --There is no reason to consider this movie if you aren't into this kind of humor--

    This humor, Time and Eric/Matt and Trey/ type humor is so crazily specific that I can't possible understand why you would bother buying this without at least doing some research on it first. Check out their other things, their web episodes of their shows, check out interviews online, watch the trailer, if you don't like it then don't touch this movie because it is so at a complete other level of humor that the only way you'd like this movie is if you KNOW you'll like this movie before you even see anything other than the title.

    If you don't know what this movie is, if you don't recognize the name combination "Tim and Eric['s]" and if you haven't seen Tom Goes to the Mayor, Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, or Check It Out, then you will not like this movie. Check one of those shows out and if it's your bag of bones they you'll love this movie with it's outrageous story and... Read more
