4 Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie
Starring: Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim, Robert Loggia, Zach Galifianakis, Will Ferrell
Directors: Tim Heidecker, Eric Wareheim
Out: 2 March 2012
From the creators of ‘Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job’, the cult sketch show which ran on Adult Swim for 5 seasons. Some called that series crude and inane randomness, others satirical brilliance. The feature film version sees Tim and Eric given a billion dollars to make a movie, but they squander every dime, and the sinister corporation backing it gets pissed. With their lives at stake, the guys skip town in search of a way to pay the money back. When they happen upon the chance to rehabilitate a bankrupt mall full of vagrants, bizarre stores and a man-eating wolf that stalks the food court, they see dollar signs—a billion of them. Featuring cameos from the likes of Zack Galifianakis, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Jeff Goldblum and Will Forte. It has some laughs but it’s alienating and a bit of a grind for anyone who hasn’t seen, and loved, the TV show already. In short, it doesn’t work as a movie, but fans may still enjoy it. [Critics: 38%] [Public: 5.1] – Avoid (unless you’re a fan)
