 | Cheats is, without a doubt, the worst movie I have ever seen. Besides the mind-numbing absence of plot and meaningful character development, the humor is also painfully trite. I knew this movie was horrible 5 minutes in, but I continued to watch it only to see what Martin Starr was up to after Freaks and Geeks. In the end, I felt embarassed for the writer/director of this miserable endeavor. Please don't waste your time on this nonsense. Learn from my mistake. |

| I wanted to write this for two crucial reasons: 1) to warn off any Freaks and Geeks fans hoping for one last look at Haverchuck and 2) to counteract the fact that this feces currently had perfect ratings.
Go ahead and pick this one up if you hate yourself and want to make certain that at least an hour and a half of your life is filled with inane dialogue, plot holes that have achieved their own gravity (um, doesn't a principal review the awards given out at graduation?), and a costly disregard for logical connection.
Throughout the majority of the film, I pictured the director/screenwriter (because no one else would likely touch this cesspit) as a stoned, delusional twit who felt his memories of being kick ass in high school would sustain a film. To hell with character, plot, and all that other b.s. that "the clones" want... I've been unfortunate enough to know far too many of this type, but usually, they just bother you at a bar or when you're trying to work. Somehow this one's been allowed to write/direct a movie about his asinine life.
I was drawn to watch this solely because of the depression associated with the loss of Freaks and Geeks. I needed more Bill, and in a few shining nanoseconds of the film, Martin Starr delivered. He's the only thing that prevented me from turning it off and scratching the DVD with my bare fingernails. If only someone else involved with this film would have really watched and understood that show...
Finally, if what I've said hasn't deterred you, look at the positive reviews. Nearly all of them start with the same anecdote of psuedo-slackerism - "I was so wasted, and I pict [sic] up this killer litle [sic] flick," or "me and my buddys [sic] used to act just liek [sic] these dudes..." - do you really want to be counted among this crowd?

| This has got to be one of my favorite movies ever, I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as a I did while watching this movie. Everything in it was just so hilarious, especially the song at the end "Crippled elves do dance around a devil covered by blue dress," the things they get themselves into is great. I reccomend this movie from anyone looking to get away from those regular movies! |

| I kind of stumbled across this movie just recently, and I loved it! Luckily it had barely started, and it just looked interesting so I stuck around. This movie made me laught SO hard, and it has some unforgettable lines! Trevor Fehrman and Matthew Lawrence were great in it (the great Handsome and Victor). You've got to see it if you love funny movies. |
