Swiss Army Man (2016)
I have the feeling someone played a massive prank on me with the film Swiss Army Man. Someone actually wrote the screenplay, submitted it to a studio for backing, was granted financial support, and actual movie stars signed on to humiliate themselves in front of the camera. This can’t be real, can it? This is probably the most ridiculous movie I’ve ever had the misfortune to rent. I couldn’t watch it all the way through, and I really can’t imagine anyone over the age of thirteen being able to.
It's a two-man show, with Paul Dano finding himself stuck on a desert island, and Daniel Radcliffe as the title character. When Paul finds him, he’s dead, but he suddenly comes to “life” and turns into the title character. A human Swiss army knife, he proves useful to Paul as he tries to get off the island. In one example, Daniel is bent into a makeshift sailboat, then uses his flatulence as a motor.
For very young children, or for college boys who enjoy potty humor as much as hallucinogenic drugs, I’m sure this will be an entertaining movie. But it’s an insult to the two young men putting their faces on the line for the script; they’re capable of actual acting, but they’re forced to perform a 90-minute fart joke. I would never recommend this movie to anyone, and if it were recommended to me, I would know immediately that I would want nothing more to do with that person.
