Liam Madden’s Film Review: The Darwin Awards

If you fancy a night in watching a DVD, then take a look at the selection available at Island Libraries. At just £1.50 per night, they’re a great bargain. Ed

The Darwin AwardsAs a movie that has to be not only worthless in its entirety, ‘The Darwin Awards’ has one terrifying feature for a movie from America and that has to be the alarming number of people used to form its credits at the end.

Momentary thought
For what essentially is a series of drawn out sketches with unbearably thin tapered, marginal and stretched out pointlessness running throughout, ‘The Darwin Awards’ is undoubtedly a momentary thought, that does not work when extended to 90 minutes.

Essentially the problem is one of humour and massive expense that even suggesting is funny, simply will divide opinion instantly.

Not worth watching
The resounding verdict of crap that formulates through watching ‘The Darwin Awards’ has to be mentioned almost instantaneously, because there simply is no warning through its direction, of the alarming fact that the complete purposeless and lengthy work does not achieve any worth other than avoidance.

Lacks credibility
Whether director Finn Taylor was forced directly into the project is debatable, as it would seem that blame could easily culminate on those appearing throughout.

‘The Darwin Awards’ is not tasteless or immature but sadly lacks any credibility and although it markets itself as insulting, it eventually is alarmingly so to the audience and that is its’ greatest mistake.
