the onion movie



this "comedy" is atrocious.

pretty much most of the movie is a shit load of crap sketches in the style of television news reports about bogus global and domestic events. the anchor for 'the onion' news becomes disgruntled when the parent corporation pressures him to advertise some shit steven seagal movie called 'cockpuncher' instead of reporting the progress of a war overseas.

at the culmination of the film, the anchor becomes the bargaining chip of a terrorist negotiation on live television and oddly, everyone who was the subject of a 'news report' earlier in the movie shows up at the station to save the anchorman and fight the terrorists. peruvians shoot lasers out of their eyes to remove a landmine from a terrorist's belt so that seagal can punch him so hard in the dick that he leaves the set. an elephant then steps on the landmine. seagal then shows the remaining terrorist that killing people is not the answer and then everyone starts dancing. on the news.

fucking ridiculous film.
