Reality Sucks...

The Drawn Together Movie:
The Movie!
(Dave Jesser and Matthew Silverstein, 2010)

4 Stars

Eight housemates, 10,000 cameras, ridiculous challenges and a healthy dose of un-PC racism and flatulence. Sound familiar?

No, this isn’t Big Brother, this is the long awaited movie version of Comedy Central’s hilariously offensive animated reality TV show Drawn Together.

Parodying just about any subject imaginable, Drawn Together graced our screens for three ingenious series before creators Matt and Dave moved onto bigger, brighter ventures. Starring a cast of obvious and yet somehow unthinkable cartoon spoofs, such as Disney Princess lookalike Clara and the Oriental Battle Monster Ling-Ling (my personal favourite), Drawn Together pushed boundaries that even South Park could only ever dream of.

And then many years passed without a new episode. True, we were treated to the great Blaxploitation spin-off that was The Judge Fudge Adventure Power Hour starring the always delicious Judge Fudge, but no new Drawn Together. As such, it was with enraptured delight that I discovered that the ever-delayed Drawn Together Movie The Movie had hit our shelves.

The Movie sees our stars discovering that they are no longer on the air ad are in fact in a Truman Show style fallacy, subsequently embarking on a quest to get themselves back in their own time slot, whilst being hunted down by the trouble making I.S.R.A.E.L. (cue far too many bad taste Israel jokes, not one of which falls flat) and taking on the evil Suck My Taint Girl (a more than blatant shot at South Park’s popularity).

With the entire cast on perfect from, and cameos from all the great supporting characters; the Jew Producer, Judge Fudge (only missing Ling-Ling’s lame friend Steve from Long Island), The Drawn Together Movie The Movie delivers punch after punch of outrageous and hilarious animated fun. Just don’t watch it with the kids.
