    So disgusting, it's almost awesome

    OMG. I thought I knew what to expect but reality turned out to be much more stunning. This movie is something beyond the line dividing good from bad. Jokes are so trashy they make you laugh to tears. But actually the only thing that keeps this movie afloat are the actors. Without these huge Hollywood stars it would be a complete disaster, but when you see Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, Kate Winslet, Halle Berry and others, you unwillingly start to think that probably this movie has some value.

    If you enjoy humor like in Jay and Silent Bob, you have got to see Movie 43. You'll laugh your ass of. And probably puke couple of times :)

    Raunchy and funny!

    The first time I tried watching this movie, I couldn't get past the first segment and stopped watching. Then one night, nothing was on, so I thought I would give this movie a second chance. I'm glad I did. Most of the segments are hilarious! A couple of them were not. "Kids in machines" for example. The two final segments, "Basketball" and "Beezle the cat" were great! If you enjoy twisted humor and are not easily offended, you will enjoy it. If you are "Woke" or very PC, you won't like it, and I recommend you skip it.

    I don't really take life too seriously, so....

    I don't know, maybe I just have a strange sense of humor, but I thought this movie was funny. I always find it funny when serious actors do slapstick roles. I watched it several times and I still find it funny. I say if you like movies like Airplane or Blazing Saddles, just a hell of a lot nastier and rude, then this is the movie for you.

    Easy watching, a good laugh if it's your sort of thing. Generally misunderstood

    Personally find it entertaining. Easy to watch. If you take out the crappy base storyline with the 3 twits it's OK. I don't think people realise the point of this film. It's just a sketch movie. It's not meant to be a masterpiece. Millions of people watch sketches like this on YouTube everyday but may a movie well that's just ridiculous, calm down. It's way better than south park which is just swearing angry kids and sex.

    So funny!

    I can't understand why this movie has such a low rating. It was so funny from start to finish and maybe even a little cringe. I stumbled across this on Netflix and glad I did. Even the girlfriend enjoyed the humor.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The movie was filmed over a span of four years. Production took so long because filming had to be done around the actors' busy schedules. The segment with Kate Winslet and Hugh Jackman was the first to be filmed, and producer Charles B. Wessler used it to secure the financing for the rest of the movie. He called in a lot of favors to get as many high-profile actors as possible for the other short films, most of them willing to work for a few days on something unconventional. However, almost none of the actors knew completely what the other segments were about, or how the full movie would be. When it came out, none of the major actors wanted to promote it.
    • Goofs
      In the second segment, the guy is pouring coffee into a cup being held, after the scene change, the cup is on the coffee table.
    • Quotes

      Nathan: [segment "Middleschool Date"] Hello, 9-1-1? Yeah, my friend is bleeding out of her vagina!

      Dad (segment "Middleschool Date"): Nathan, Nathan, listen.

      Nathan: Why are you laughing at me?

    • Crazy credits
      The "Beezel" segment runs in between the segment credits and the rest of the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      The wraparound involving the segments being movie pitches was replaced in the UK Alternate Cut Version, released on the UK Blu-Ray, with an alternate wraparound about two teenagers and an 11-year-old trying to find the most banned movie in the world.
