For a film with dialogue written by a stoned chimp, Idle Hands is an endearing film with as much heart as it has masturbation jokes. Join us as we go on a crazy journey of demonic hands, druid sex rituals and tom DeLonge (for a split second at least).
Anthony has come equipped with his usual array of FUCK YEAH FIIILM FACTOIDS before we decide whether Idle Hands was...

This film has been swimming in controversy even before it's opening weekend and we are here for the drama. This film is more about the why is this happening rather than what is happening. Sprinkled with laugh out loud moments and pepperd with nail biting frights.
