Live Freaky Die Freaky

Let me start off by saying I am a huge Green Day/Blink 182/Transplants/Rancid. I am also very fascinated by the Manson family. Having said that, I was very disappointed by this movie. I expected to see more of what happened with the nomad that found the book (that is what the summary of it mentions).In fact the summary is false, it says "Their search will soon be over when Charles Manson returns to save them." Unless I missed a major part of the movie, this never happened. This movie was entirely mocking the past, and barely mentions the future. I would like them to make "Live Freaky Die Freaky II" and go in depth with the future. The Soundtrack is good though. It is probably worth the $20 dollars just to be shocked by the movie and to enjoy the original music.

The only reason I bought this film was because of the cast (mainly Davey Havok!) and I must admit that when I watched it for the first time I was shocked by the sexual content and apparent disrespect for the Manson murders.

Director John Roecker claims he doesn't mean to offend, although I'd find it hard not to be if I was anything to do with the subjects. Victim Sharon Tate's name has been changed to Sharon Hate, and Charlie Manson becomes Charlie Hanson, but all this is a weak attempt at detaching them from the real victims.

All this said, though, I admit that the movie is enjoyable if not thought about too deeply! There are a few comical moments, though they are mainly crude. Not for the faint hearted...

True it had some attempt at social satire but failed miserably. I thought this movie was made by 12 year olds for 12 year olds and younger! I was deeply offended at the portrayal of the victims as people that didn't care about society. Truth be told Abigail Folger worked in the ghetto trying to help low income families. Everyone associated with this should hide under a rock the next 25 years.

Tries way to hard to be shocking and just comes across as vulgar! I have no problem with c**k and p**sy jokes but this just wasn't funny at all. If I were a preteen maybe I would have laughed a bit. After renting this I not only wanted my money back I also wanted to walk through a car wash to get the filth off of my soul!

A pornographic puppet show that makes Team America look like the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. Equal parts oddly comforting and supremely disturbing, it has a true punk energy: cheap, weird, offensive, and hates hippies and yuppies with equal vigor. But do I hate it, or do I love it? I think the answer is 'yes'.

I saw this movie at the Chicago Underground Film Festival and must admit that the movie was a big disappointment from what I expected. I figured with the stars involved in this it would have been a little more tasteful. I mean I'm not the type to be offended by movies but this thing was over the top and just made the movie not as enjoyable. That being said it does have its share of quotable, funny lines; which are a nice thing I guess. I'm not a film buff by any means... but I'm a huge fan of Green Day and maybe I'm biased but Billie Joe was the best part of this movie. And his opening song was just so catchy and I can't wait for the soundtrack to be released.
