Uncle Goddamn (2004 Video) User Reviews

He's Cletus the slack-jawed yokel!

Do you find rednecks funny? I mean like really drunk and barely operational rednecks. Do you? No? Oh, in that case, skip this. But if you do, then don't hesitate to watch Uncle Goddamn.

The flick is just home footage of the Elmore family. It's basically just clips of Uncle Robert (Uncle Goddamn) and Pappy. Uncle Goddamn is that drunk redneck you've always hoped to run into at a bar, just so you could wait for him to fall over or pee himself, or both at the same time. Pappy is the Redneck you'd love to watch go crazy on people. But it'd be a nightmare if he went nuts on you. Both guys are very out there, and both dish out some funny scenes.

Couple drawbacks. The film sometimes likes to repeat a humorous scene over and over for comedic effect, but it really just gets old real fast. And when it came down torturin' Uncle Goddamn, I didn't really see the funny when they were really abusing him later on during the Lost Footage part. Hitting him pretty hard in the nuts repeatedly is kinda steppin' over the line. Any dude should know that.

Anyways, I enjoyed it. The characters were all pretty silly and it made me chuckle a good amount. But just like any other stupid redneck comedy, it gets old pretty fast. It's nice that this was so short. It says 60 minutes on here, but mine was only 40 minutes. Which I was happy about.

I Guess You Had To Be There

This 'film' is nothing more than poorly-filmed (on VHS) home movie footage. While the yokels behind the camera are laughing hysterically, something barely amusing is happening... over and over and over again. They padded the running time of this 'film' by replaying every unfunny moment 8-12 times. O they barely set his pants on fire. Hysterical. They barely tricked him into slapping shaving cream on his face. Genius. This is simply a bad home movie from a bunch of nitwit rednecks who don't understand that if you weren't there or you don't know uncle goddamn, it's just not funny. Someone should use this footage on behalf of the (probably dead from liver disease) aforementioned 'uncle goddamn' in a lawsuit. This isn't funny at all. It's cruel and mean-spirited abuse of a clearly low intelligence, alcohol-addicted person. Plus, these 'film-makers' probably supplied the alcohol so that they could get him drunk enough to abuse in the first place. Avoid this at all cost. It may sound like fun but the reality is not funny at all.

One Hour Of My Life Completely Wasted

[canadian_roughneck · 1/10 · 25 July 2007]

I rented this film tonight thinking that it might be funny. I was horribly disappointed! It was one hour of stupid hillbillies doing senseless crap to this drunken old guy who constantly said "goddamn". The replays were annoying and too much, the picture was awful, the pranks were lame. The entire film was boring and stupid. Do not waste your money on this piece of crap. I don't know how it got out and I don't know who would have the sense to produce it.

Avoid this junk at all costs. It is one hour of boredom and stupidity.

Completely unfunny and a big piece of junk.

0/10. (the vote doesn't let you give less than one star, and it doesn't even deserve that)

Awesome

This movie is a polemic on the state of rural America.

A hour a spent with some seemingly unreal surreal ultra real American family with sociopathic hatred for their uncle. this guy, totally drunk, totally has no idea of the state of reality he lives in. Rural trailer stuff fulled of beer set on fire by sociopathic nephews. Hes also a racist, a telling story of heart break and race hate. At the drop of a hat, this guy will spew forth a torrent of racial hatred directed at every minority under the sun. Completely and utterly fascinating, production values reached a nadir of 0. shot on an ancient home video camera operated by rednecks drunk on meth. in the haze of unnatural intoxication we are treated to a spectacle of unheard of proportions. pranktastic to the extreme, these traviesos show little to no to none respect for human dignity or blood ties. blood is thicker than water but not bud light, or crystal methamphetamies.

Odd film but enjoyable

This is the type of film that almost borders on exploitive. It has moments that are mean spirited and it can be boring for someone not entirely invested in the atmosphere of the movie... but I'd say that this film would work wonders alongside some Harmony Korine project from a parallel universe that takes place in a trailer park in North Carolina.

Aesthetically speaking, this is just a really gritty and unique film. For a film with this energy, it can be pretty tame for the most part, and some scenes just stick out, breaking up the repetition.

You'll have to go into this movie knowing what to expect. It's a group of people pranking each other and yelling at a camera. It's poor quality VHS footage, and it seems like the filler of a Korine film like Gummo. Knowing all of that, do you want to really watch this? If so, I think you'll be pretty comfortable in this film. It's really niche and I really enjoy watching this on rare occasions
