Funny Funky Flick

Marlon Wayans gets forced into the role of "the stupid slapstick guy" thankfully he doesn't play that part in this very underatted classic. This movie had me laughing and feeling great! With a hillarious performance by Matthew Lillard and a great evil characted portrayal from David Spade you have to check this one out... Cheap and above all fun!

An insult to the viewers intelligence

When I'm running out of DVD's to watch, I'm kind of ready to watch anything, so last night, this was it. IMDb score was decent enough, but it was obvious to me I wasn't going to get awed by the movie.Senseless is a comedy where the characters KNOW they're in a comedy and would do anything to get a laugh, which means, follow every cliché in history of comedy and exploit it until there's only some dust left. The plot is utterly predictable, Marlon Wayans does not understand the concept of the funny, or the concept of acting. Sure, you have to cut some slack to a comedy, you know, laws of physics do not necessarily apply, people are overly goofy, but seriously, if someone acted like the extreme non plus ultra overboard character of Marlon Wayans in real life, it would take less than a day for him to land in an insane asylum. I don't think this movie could possibly be parodied, unless the character would grimace through 100 percent of the movie, not just 95. Also, no disrespect to the actress, but I could not understand the Darryl's shock when he first saw his 'dream girl'. I just thought, wait, what, THIS girl took his breath away? In a university campus virtually littered with pretty girls? Uh... yeah... right, also, the chemical lab is full of bubbling glow-in-the-dark colored liquids, fumes, plus the stereotypical chemyst? It's like this movie was made by two screenplay writers and two directors, one team worked on making this movie for 4 year old kids, the other team worked on making it for 16+ kids and adults, then they put it in a blender, drank it, and vomited this movie.I know, it's far easier to make a good drama, than a good comedy movie, but this piece... not just didn't make me laugh, it made me uncomfortable, irritated, nervous and angry, I felt insulted and violated. I know of no other movie that even came close to this and for achieving this, it gets a 3 instead of 1.If you have a choice to watch this movie or stare at the ceiling, I recommend the ceiling.

An Edgey Comedy Film......

Everyone is wrong, and the back of the tape case/cover is wrong too. This movie wouldn't be called hilarious or not even funny. It had some and very few rare humored comical parts to it. I was thinking about giving it a 2 but i don't wanna make it look that bad. DON'T BUY IT, just rent it if you wanna see a 90 minute boring film.

Hilariously funny

This movie is great - and I didn't catch any holes in it. Of course, you catch holes in everything after you've seen it upwards of 50 times, and I've only seen this movie five times, but still, no prominantly noticable holes :-)

Hilarious Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This movie is the best I've seen in a long time!! Wayans is the best!!!!

Damn funny

This movie is hilarious, though I wouldn't recommend it to overly-sensitive viewers. The humor is not terribly sophisticated, but it is certainly plentiful. Marlon Wayans, David Spade, Matthew Lillard and Rip Torn are all superb.

Very, Very Funny

Being somewhat suspect of Marlon Wayans on the big screen, I was apprehensive about watching this one. I am glad I did. David Spade was his hilarious, sarcastic self and Marlon was very funny in this slapstick comedy. The movie also has a very credible underlying story in a college student doing whatever it takes to pay for college.

Not as funny as I thought it would be, but funny

When I first saw the previews to "Senseless" a couple of years ago, I thought it was gonna be hilarious and I knew I had to see it. I finally saw it about 2 weeks ago and it is funny, but not hilarious. Marlon Wayans tries out an experiment that some scientists have made, not really knowing what it could do to him. One day he takes an overdose and things really get out of the ordinary. He starts to see double and gets numb all over, (in other words, senseless). That's when the movie gets good and it stays that way almost through the rest of the movie.

If you like good comedy movies, I recommend seeing "Senseless." My only complaints were that the movie wasn't as funny as I first thought it would be and it's a little slow getting to the funny parts. Other than that, it's worth seeing.

Just terrible

I registered an account on IMDb just so I could comment on how bad this movie is. The fact that so many people on here consider Senseless to be good is an idea that I regard with absolute horror. This film is the most unfunny, rotten pile of human excrement I've ever had the misfortune of sitting through, and that's saying a lot because I saw part of Charlie's Angels once. I am genuinely shocked that none of the actors who were a part of this abomination ruined their careers making it. I think it goes without saying that the writers should all go to prison, and Marlon Wayans should be burned at the stake as a warning to all the other idiots who are thinking about releasing something this terrible on the public. Senseless was physically painful for me to watch, and I feel it is my duty to prevent as many people as possible from experiencing the pain I felt, so to convince you, the reader, why you should avoid this film at all costs I have listed the following:* The plot is really stupid.* Everything is predictably stupid.* Not funny at all; jokes are all stupid.* Marlon Wayans isn't funny.* Marlon Wayans can't really act.* Marlon Wayans is stupid.* Marlon Wayans.* Stupid.

Senseless was a very entertaining film!

Unlike some of the other users who have rated this film I enjoyed it. I am not a person who has the right to judge a film all I know is that it was not a bad movie. Matthew Lillard is a very good actor this might not have been him best movie but it was one of them. If you liked this movie you might also like Hackers it is a movie also casting Matthew. Scream is one of many others he plays in. It might be of a different genre but he bring comedy to a horror movie and that is not a easy task to uphold.

what ever happened to humour in this world

I don't believe the poor rating that this film has been given. This is one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time. If people watched it with an open mind and stopped trying to serious movie critics and analyse every film they see, they would realise that it is great fun and entertaining. I have recommended this film to lots of my mates and they all thought it was side-splittingly funny. Everybody out there who gave it a crap rating should watch it again, as I pity them for their lack of humour and understanding of a good comedy. I gave this film a ten and I think it was worth every point. Anybody else agree-let me know.Vote and lets get this movie up from the paltry score of 5.4(what an insult)ENOUGH SAID. WAYANS BROTHERS ROCK.

A good time

Enjoyable comedy with Marlon Wayans at his peak. David Spade is not very funny here. Brad Dourif is good as the doctor.Rating:**** (out of five)

Well done

Whether its true or not, I think this movie is very original. Wow! super sensess. This is the most original comedy I've seen since "Nothing To Lose". Not only is it funny, but its interesting and smart. Marlon Wayans was perfect for the role as Darryl, and does a great acting job. In fact I had so much faith in Marlon's performance that I bought the movie without renting it first (something I rarely do). My advice to you people who have not seen this film yet is: SEE IT NOW! I give this movie a 9/10.

Predictable, Juvenile, Entertaining

Yes. This movie is predictable. You do not have to watch very long before you may guess almost everything that will happen, and sure enough, it does. No surprises anywhere. In addition, as in many other movies which Marlon Wayans appears in, a lot of the jokes is pretty juvenile and of "low" quality, focusing on stuff you thought were funny when you were five years old and very tired. The again, some of the jokes, still being juvenile, is actually funny. So, as it turns out, as a whole, the movie is entertaining. Not the best comedy ever made, but I have seen a lot worse too.Wayans does his stuff as can be expected, not raising any eyebrows (for his performance anyway) nor disappointing. However, personally, I hoped for David Spade to have a bigger role. In my opinion he is a very good comedian but does not have any chance to show it in this movie.To conclude, do not have the greatest expectations, sit back and enjoy.5/10

hilarious

The most funny film I have seen in years,It was extremely entertaining and great to watch with lots of your mates.I recomend to all people who enjoy comedies

Pathetic!

Senseless is a tragedy film with one character being the center of attention, throw in a stupid plot about a new drug, add a subplot about trying to win a job, and why not, pluck a few good actors out of the bag and throw it into this film to make a horrible film! Marlon Waynes as Witherspoon is not funny at all. All he does is scream, cry, run around, and itch his behind! David Spade was totally useless as the evil villain Scott who was nothing but a big dork and we have the wonderful Matthew Lillard playing some junkie gay thug. Now the start of this film is okay with Marlon running around doing errands, trying to raise money for his mom and his college education by giving blood multiple times and working as a equipment manager but the film falls like a rock! No funny jokes at fall, Marlons out burst are the most idiotic things, Spade is totally uncool, and the girlfriend is just thrown in for some zest which even burns the suck fire brighter! Avoid this film at all cost, don't bother! You will get dumber by watching this movie, it's pathetic! 1 out of ten, horrible!

I was laughing senseless after watching this

What a film the hilarious wayans brothers return with Marlon wayans hitting the spot with Senseless this extremely funny entertaining movie with a great storyline i am a huge Matthew Lillard fan as it is ever since seeing him in Scream and Marlon Wayans is sheer magic and he proves it in Senseless.

pretty cool

this is one of my favorite movies,but probably #10 on the list.this is extremely hilarious and wacky i am so glad i saw this.I've only seen a few Marlon Wayans' movies,but this is the best one that i have ever seen.rent or buy this if you like him

Actually, pretty good!

I'd never even heard of Senseless, but it was recommended to me with high praise - so I gave it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised, well, I'm not saying it was fantastic - but I did laugh enough to make watching worth my while.It may help being a fan of one of the actors. I'm not a huge Wayans fan, any of the, how many of them are there? Anyway, nor am I a huge fan of Spade, although he has his moments. I am a huge Matthew Lillard fan, though (no, I'm not a 16 year old girl!) and I found his performance typically Lillard-esque - which is entertaining no matter what the role is - or how under-written his part is. Any fan of Matt will at least get something out of this movie. Keeping in mind I am not a huge Wayans or Spade fan, both gave good performances. Wayans had some great moments.Directed by Penelope Spheeris, (Wayne's World) - Senseless is overall a pretty good movie with a warm ending, which, being as it *is* a comedy, is a *lot* better than a cold ending!6.5/10

If you like bathroom humor, you'll love this one

Marlon Wayans is truly funny, however, for the life of me I don't see why he keeps doing these slapstick/bathroom humor movies. He's in the vein of Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, etc. who can do funny ad libs. You know most of what he said wasn't in the script.

David Spade was actually pretty good- and annoying in the movie as the smug rich little daddy's kid. But tops goes to Wayan's roommate. There really are his types in college- the extremely experimental yet good hearted dope.

It's cool to watch on cable but I can't recommend adding it to your collection- unless you like this sort of thing.
