Patchwork is a horror comedy surrounding the hard partying night of three girls. They wake up thinking they had too much to drink the night before only to find themselves Frankensteined together in one body. They must try to work together to find the person who did this to them so they can get revenge and stop the monster from doing it again.
 
The idea of this movie isn’t a new one, as obviously Frankenstein by Mary Shelley was the first story involving a pieced together monster. The three women, Jennifer, Ellie, and Madeline, start their new day trying to figure out what to do, with Jennifer trying to take charge. After they realize that can’t quite go back to their old lives, they decide they must find the person who did this to them and make sure they don’t do it again. They desperately want to live their old lives, but when they are told it is impossible, they need to come up with a new plan. That new plan involves revenge, lots and lots of revenge.
 
This was a fun little movie. I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it or not, but it was fun. I think it could have been a little better if the movie wasn’t separated into parts. Each girl has a different story to tell, then there are their parts together. It does disrupt the fun the movie could have had if it had been kept whole and not pieced out.
 
I think there could have been a little more development in the man behind the surgery. There was no development in why he was doing what he was doing. There was no mention of how long he had been doing it. And lastly, there was no noting of how he could be found.
 
In all honestly I will say that while this movie did have funny parts, they were lost in the lack of follow through on those jokes. The movie didn’t keep the jokes and comedy going, instead it went to darker jokes and they didn’t quite work as well as the jokes in the beginning.
 
So, while it is streaming if you have the chance to watch it, and there isn’t anything else good on, then go ahead give it a try.
 

The plot synopsis on IMDb explains the entire movie: Affable hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are mistaken for murderers by a group of preppy college students.

This movie is a comedy about misconceptions, stereotypes, and how the tropes of horror might be one giant misunderstanding. The movie follows a pair of young men who are considered hillbillies named Tucker and Dale. Dale is a big goofy guy who wants some friends, and possibly a girlfriend. Tucker is a man with a plan, and he just wants to fix up his vacation home and relax. They both fall prey to the hands of a group of unruly college students who decide that they are homicidal maniacs and must be stopped.

This movie was really quite funny. It reminded me of CABIN IN THE WOODS a little in the idea behind it. It was making fun of the horror genre, just like CABIN IN THE WOODS does, but it isn't disrespectful towards the horror genre. There are some movies and books out there which I feel take advantage of the horror genre and twist it into something disingenuous (to me the entire TWILIGHT series made fun of the horror genre and was disrespectful). I found TUCKER AND DALE VS EVIL humorous and delightful, although it had me questioning if other characters could have become accidental serial killers.

Was Leather face just a misunderstood chainsaw artist? Was Freddy actually an awesome hairstylist who got caught in someone's revenge fantasy? Did Michael Meyers just get frustrated because his sister wasn't taking him trick-or-treating when she promised she would? Now I know that the answer to these questions are all no, but it was fun to think about.

The characters of Dale and Tucker, just happen to be around while students fall prey to misadventures. In fact the first death is quite humorous and shocking, but also hilarious. It was unexpected and yet expected all at the same time. This movie also made me think on my own misconceptions and stereotypes. This movie takes it step-by-step as each student accidentally dies through mistakes they make or accidents when the timing has to be just right.

It was an inventive movie and I wish I would have watched it sooner. While it was a gore fest I wouldn't classify this as a horror movie. It was more in the vein of SHAUN OF THE DEAD or DEAD ALIVE, which are classified as dark comedy. I think maybe this is might be a dark comedy, but in reality it is just a comedy where death can happen.

So, do I recommend this movie? Yes. In fact I am thinking of showing it in one of the English classes I teach because it is full of stereotypes and misconceptions, which is something we look at in a character analysis. So, yes, watch this movie, and you really should watch it more than once so get all of the humor.

This is what IMDb says - A likable guy pursues his office crush with the help of his evil talking pets, but things turn sinister when she stands him up for a date. But the movie was much more than that. It wasn't about two evil talking pets, only the cat was evil (as cats are), but the dog was not evil. In fact it seemed like the dog was a moral conscience for the guy.

This movie starred Ryan Reynolds as the main character Jerry. Jerry seems like an all american guy with a normal job and a somewhat active social life. He has some obvious awkwardness in social situations, but he does get a few date. None of the dates end well however, and the viewer finds out that not everything is as it seems. Jerry is an odd duck. He talks to his pets, a dog and a cat, then again what single person doesn't talk to their pets. He is awkward when asking women out, but he does get a few dates. Plus, he is good at his job, at least no one there has noticed anything odd about him. Problem is, Jerry has a secret, and that secret involved a lot of plastic takeout boxes, and a saw. 

This movie was weird, and when I say that I mean it in a good way. There are a lot of weird movies out there, not all of them are good, but this one was pretty funny. It was a dark comedy about love and death and how pets influence you. Jerry was a really interesting character. The viewer didn't expect him to be the man he really was. 

This movie was funny in just the right spots. The talking animals were both very rich characters and they really added to the absurdity of this movie.

While this seems to have been made earlier than it was (the video quality was odd) it was made in 2015. The video quality really made it seem like it was made in the '80's. 

If you have time, and not much to do, I recommend watching this movie. It has humor, love, murder, and animals.
