Teeth is a really bad movie..

The writing is very unsubtle ("purity") and most surprisingly, even for a direct to dvd film, the story is completely under developed. They have 1 gag throughout the whole film. Some of it is unintentionally funny, some of it just gross. I can't believe the girl in it won an award at Sundance Film Festival.

Who agrees with me?! Raise your hand!

Can't say I'd recommend a movie about a woman with teeth in her cha-cha, but that's just me.-Jiggles-

I lol'd.

I disagree, I thought it was a good dark comedy. Film-Guy

Each to their own. I didn't see it as a comedy, just some 'comedic moments really'.

Hey did you check out my review of Body of Lies I told you about!?

What did you love about the film?

How can a comedy be unintentionally funny?

EDIT: It's more or less a movie about the dangers of nuclear energy, as evidenced by the factory (or whatever you call things that run on nuclear whatever) that's always in the background.

EDIT 2: And people are acting as if vagina dentata was a concept created for this movie, and more importantly an intentionally vulgar one.

I never said it was a comedy if you were talking to me.

I think I know what you are getting at with the powerplant. Perhaps the Teeth are a result of that. I saw it more as a symbol of something horrific (the plant) in something quite nice and pleasent (the town).

But really they should have illuminated that element more if they wanted to comment on Nuclear energy and warnings.

For some horrible reason I think there will be Teeth 2. It just seems to have been written without giving anything away that would provide more material for a sequel.

And the nuclear energy aspect of it was more or less a subliminal aspect of the film.

I doubt there will be a Teeth 2.

I don't think its a comedy at all. It takes itself very seriously with the religious undertones, the gore is quite visceral.

The Nuclear plant is not prominent enough to draw any real conclusions.

There will be a sequel.

The trailer scarred me, so i wouldn't even consider watching the actual movie, but I'm gonna agree with you anyways

"Teeth is a black comedy film... about a girl who has teeth in her vagina - Wikipedia.

In case Wikipedia isn't credible enough for you, IMDB has the genres of the film listed as "horror" and "comedy." So yes, just because you don't consider it to be a comedy film doesn't mean it isn't a comedy film. It just means that you have no sense of humor.

That's the point. Maybe I'm defending it because it made much more sense to me, but the point of the movie was that you don't know where the vagina dentata came from. It could've been from the nuclear power plant, or it could've been something else. It's all apart of the urban legend.

There will be no sequel, but of course I can't prove it.

Also, you mentioned that the film was a straight-to-video release, which is untrue. It had a limited theatrical release.

yeah i think this review put it best "What could have been a one joke film about " dentata" is, in the hands of writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein, a satirical look at teenage peer pressure and sexuality, and finally, female empowerment"

also:

"This quirky independent film, written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein ("Resurrection"), is a darkly comic metaphor for society's fear of female sexuality. "

And the nuclear plant is a small undetone of pollution.

Yeah, so many watch the film or trailer and think its some stupid made up horror film that is trying to be serious. That dentata is an old myth found in many cultures and the film uses it as part of their satire for female sexuality/pollution and other things,

I actually thought it was one of the better films of the year that flew under the radar.

yeah other then The Dark Knight and Wall-E, all the other wide releases seem to have all been action/comedies/superhero movies that were sub par,luckily its going into fall and maybe we'll get some really good ones.

[QUOTE="snakes_codec"]

yes that's what i mean doesn't he get his genitals bitten off by her genitals ?

Yes. lol, thats all that happens throughout the movie.

wow poor guy losing your wedding tackle is like losing your best friend :o

Its on Wiki it must be credible. Please don't make it a personal attack on me. Its just a movie. I have a sense of humour. I often use it on Gamespot, those that know me will tell you that sir. But I am entitled to my opinion of the genre discussion as you are.
