Critic's Metascore: 17!! Need I say more?

First off: Not for everone. But if you like totally unique, hilarious, bizarre, chaotic, and unhinged indies, then this might be right up your... alley. I live for movies like this, where there are no rules, and obviously no one to answer to. The two lead characters in this do such a great job, as popper-crazy, wasted addicts (with some serious VD). Their performances are outrageous and uninhibited, and they even work in some guerilla filmmaking in the middle of Times Square. Hilarious! I want to see these two chracters in another movie, at their highest!

Adah's (Betsey Brown) sex buddy/boyfriend/future husband Aaron (Jack Dunphy) lives with her brother (and future pompous, indiscretionary psychoanalyst), Adam (Peter Vack). Adah has gone straight, but her brother peer pressures her into hits off his bong... and contracts what has to be the most disgusting case of herpes put on film. She promptly passes this along to Aaron, and down the rabbit hole they go. Their behavior in front of their mortified parents is priceless. Love the death metal music cues. That's really all I can tell you, because this movie is full of surprises.

If you're into unpredictable, obnoxious, gross, yet hilarious comedies that have no intention of playing by the rules, A-holes is a solid pick. Actually, more punk rock than anything I've seen in a long time.
