Worse Than You'd Expect
blurnieghey4 October 2020
I've you're picking up a flick called "F.A.R.T. The Movie" and are expecting anything other than cinema in its lowest form, then I don't know what to tell you. Personally, I like fart jokes and, if used sparingly and at the appropriate moment, a good fart gag can add the right amount of lowbrow humor to just about any kind of movie. Farts are innately funny. That said, there isn't a single laugh in this mess and I'm only giving this one two stars because they actually took the trouble to make a movie entirely dedicated to farting and, thus, filling some sort of void in the universe. Really corny stuff and the video and audio quality are garbage--especially the audio, as the mics weren't grounded properly in several scenes. Seriously, if it's a scene where there is no background noise, does it kill you to dub it with clean audio later? Lame.

A Terrible Waste of Time and Money
Maven-313 August 2007
I bought this movie years ago. I was about ten or twelve at the time. Pretty much a farting movie's target audience, right? After watching it, I can't imagine they had a target audience in mind. I've seen better movies filmed by high school students over a bored weekend. Poorly acted, poorly written, with no redeeming qualities. I can't believe I wasted ten bucks on this. Years later I did sell it at a garage sale and was more than happy to rid myself of the only movie more terrifying than the tape in The Ring. I can't believe the previous commenter liked anything about it. The plot is thin at best. A guy loves farting and his girlfriend. He has to choose one or the other because she hates farting. He has a series of dreams with different farting scenarios and situations. Each one somehow less funny than the previous one. I'd much rather sit in an empty room and stare at the wall because than I'd at least have my own thoughts to entertain myself with.

Has Its Moments

Obviously, making a movie about flatulence is going to be a one joke proposition by its very nature, but this film does indeed have its fair share of laughs, especially the scene with the minister ("Oh sure wash it down with some beer, you think the bubbles are going to help?"). The only part I didn't like was the absolute end when it turned into some sort of commercial for the Medicine Wheel Band, a Southern California rock group, sounding quite a bit like Molly Hatchet.

More sketch comedy than a movie...
fartingongirls17 September 2020
So I, personally love to fart. I love to hear and smell farts. I love being farted on. I love farting on other girls. I even like guy farts. This movie doesn't reallly have much fart action in it, and the farts are not even real. Sound and picture quality are on a very low level, but I don't find that too important. Fart quality however IS important, and this movie stinks in that regard :(

Russell (Joel Weiss)has a junk food diet that leads to his production of gas which he enjoys to the dismay of everyone around him. While his wife Heather (Shannandoah Sorin) is away, Russell watches TV. The movie consists of a "Groove Tube" montage humor involving fart humor. Perhaps the best feature was the "Gong Show" parody. Very low brow stuff.

Parental guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity.

Disappointment in Humanity
azadtoprakaygun7 August 2019
A person thought this is a good idea to make, another person thought this was a good idea to star in, a third person thought this was a good idea to own in his or her store, a fourth person thought this would be a nice thing to watch so they bought it. They watched it. And now they're thinking about their life choices. Don't buy it. Don't watch it. Don't do anything related to it.

I was honestly disappointed.
HJordan97569522 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
For a movie about farts, there is certainly not enough to entertain my palatable senses. For what I can make of, the story centers around a man who likes to fart, but his girlfriend heavily despises his gross obsession. So, we get thrown into a hodge-pot of farting and such, and at the end of the movie, the girlfriend has a nightmare of farting anuses, wakes up with a loud scream, and now loves the art of fighting, much to the boyfriend's gleeful happiness. So, what's the lesson here? If you want to make something around farts, just record yourself farting. One of the children is a young Ke$ha.

It's a GAS !!!
guestar578 January 2010
A Ray/Migdalia Etheridge comedy.

Starring:Joel Weiss,Conrad Brooks,Robert Axelrod and Steven Banks.

This is a funny video,That's suited for wild parties and wild viewing by "The Guys".

A lot of sketch comedy that would later be used in 'Saturday Night Live" and "SCTV".

The facts and nuances of FARTING and the noises & smells associated with are conjectured and scrutinized.

The Etheridges admit this is their best seller on Amazon.com and mostly women buy for their husbands and boyfriends !

Its funny,Like we said and has a great cast.

Exactly what you expect
wgncubswin5 July 2009
Breath-taking. What can be said about the world's most perfect movie? The cinematography was stunning, the acting was surreal and the script seemed to flow naturally like the mighty Mississippi. One is reminded of the time that Moses was handed the Ten Commandments from God himself; we have been handed FART: The Movie from a being higher than us all. The plot isn't hard to follow, making it easier to enjoy all of the delightful poots and farts that our antagonist, Russell, expels throughout the film. Russell loves his farts as if each one was his own child, one different from the next. His wife, Heather, endures all of Russell's little "problem" even though it affects their social and personal lives. The farts are so realistic that on several occasions I looked around to see if someone else in the viewing cube in suspicion that they broke wind. This movie is great, and will now replace Cannonball Run II as my favorite movie of all-time.

The finest film ever made
mhcoen-8683012 September 2021
I wept for joy when I first saw this, and after 300 viewings, I still tear up with pure bliss each time the magical toots begin to flow. Such sweet sounds and if you supply your own odors, the experience is spiritually uplifting. I praise all that be, that such a movie could be made. I have prayed for a sequel, no, I have devoted my life to making one. I sold my wife and children into slavery to hire back the original cast for a reunion fart festival. But they were all dead, leaving me to fart by myself in the closet with the door shut. That wasn't half bad. Thank for reading this and please watch this movie often while you are on the toilet, so it isn't forgotten. Oh, sweet baby Jesus, please remake this worthy film! Rebooting the franchise is our only hope for salvation!

A classic one man salute
andycjohnson914 November 2022
This is the type of movie you come across and can't believe it didn't get critical acclaim. As a closet farter, I believe that we need to get this film into the mainstream so we do not continue to shame those of us who greatly enjoy a good ol' one cheek squeak. I was thoroughly engaged from beginning to end, farting along with our protagonist as he was on his hero's journey.

The only reason I give this 9 stars instead of 10 is because a sequel was never made. There is such an opportunity for S. H. A. R. T. "Now things are getting dirty" to be made. Hopefully a director of great importance can pursue this picture in time.

A construction worker sits down and opens his lunch box.
docrotwang2 September 2021
As he is about to take a bite of his sandwich, the film's smiling, blithe protagonist strides proudly by, and we hear a loud, fake, burbling fart.

Disgusted, the construction worker throws the sandwich aside and says, "I told her I hate day-old meatloaf!"

ELEVEN PEOPLE WROTE THIS MOVIE. ELEVEN PEOPLE WROTE THIS MOVIE AND I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THEM.

The Gone With the Wind of fart films
Woodyanders2 October 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Easygoing slob Russell (superbly played with exceptional depth and nuance by Joel Weiss) loves to watch television and break wind. However, his long-suffering wife Heather (a brilliantly shrill portrayal by Shannandoah Sorin) hates farting with a passion and threatens to leave Russell if he doesn't cut out on cutting the cheese all the time.

The hysterical sense of blithely lowbrow humor covers all the essential flatulent bases: Russell drops stink bombs in an elevator, on a bus, and, of course, in the bathtub, plus takes a certain special pride in each and every instance in which he passes gas. The outstanding sound effects do a remarkably convincing job of emulating the actual noises people make when they poot and toot for real. Moreover, this movie offers a fascinatingly thorough exploration of the intricate art of flatulating along with uproarious parodies of game shows, TV commercials, film critics Siskel & Ebert, hell'n'brimstone evangelical priests, and even "The Gong Show." Keep 'em peeled for future pop singer sensation Kesha as a cute little girl who lets one fly. Most importantly, the central love story between Russell and Heather gives this picture a substantial wrenching poignancy. Fabulous twist ending, razor-sharp witty dialogue that's loaded with inspired fart puns, and a super catchy country-rock theme song, too. A total gas.

This went FARTher than any movie.
jbails-485093 February 2024

Where could I even begin to start explaining this masterpiece, nay, this divine intervention in the cinema industry?

FART: The Movie has brought tears to my eyes upon the 1s watch that I've allowed myself to indulge in, for I need only see it 1 time to truly understand the directors vision. I wept tears of joy from the opening sequence to the very end credits, and my life has never been the same since.

Every fart I bore into this world now is in tribute, and in reverence to the brilliance that this motion picture brought to this world. Thank you FART: The Movie, you've truly given this dark, dark world what it deserved, and what it needed. I don't think I could ever violently shart on my porcelain throne without thinking of Russel and Heather ever again.

God's gift to this world was not religion, not life, nor the Earth itself. It was this piece of history that surely will wind up in the Smithsonian in due time, and I truly stand by this.

In conclusion, I am appalled and flabbergasted I had to sit through this entire movie and it was all a dream sequence, I wanted nothing but that hour and a bit of my life back, and this film looms over me, haunting my every day on this floating rock in space. The rope in my closet now calls to me.

Thank you.

Fun for the whole family!
zkgfkhw28 December 2023
This movie was incredibly bleak, it's like the farts were added later. Perhaps there was a serious film originally that created such a poor impression with test audiences that the studio was forced to add gastric distress to even sell it in the first place.

I had a couple of early laughs before the chuckling settled down into a deep melancholic trance that didn't let up even after the film had ended. I'm not sure I will ever recover, even years later!

There were several scenes that made me question my existence. I really had to take stock of where I was afterwards, both emotionally and philosophically. Recommended for all 🙂

The crown jewel of Kesha's career.
cespieyt24 February 2024
To fart or not to fart.

Fart: The Movie from 1999 is a cinematic masterpiece that boldly goes where no film has gone before - the aromatic world of flatulence! With a plot as unpredictable as the next unexpected toot, this movie will leave you gasping for breath between laughs. The stellar performances of the cast elevate fart humor to an art form, showcasing an ensemble that emits both talent and methane in equal measure. The screenplay, filled with comedic ripples and unexpected sonic surprises, is a symphony of guffaws that will resonate in the annals of film history. The special effects, especially the olfactory ones, are groundbreaking - a true feast for the senses. Fart: The Movie is a timeless classic that lingers in the air long after the credits roll, leaving audiences with a lingering appreciation for the comedic power of the human digestive system. A must-watch for anyone with a nose for humor and an appreciation for the finer nuances of bodily functions!
