This movie follows the adventures of a profiler who is blood-phobic and his annoying sidekick (Winona Ryder) whose primary function seems to be swearing and making faces. While the Darwin Award vignettes are funny, this feels like a bad episode of the TV series Monk.

This movie was awful, and that is being nice. Although, the pretense of seeing stupid people doing stupid things seemed funny this movie fell short. There were a couple of spots in this movie that brough a chuckle, but that was immediately replaced by boring. zzzzzzzzzz......Don't waste your time

Fun from the very start and well made. It was smartly done and I really enjoyed the characters. The originality of the film and the numerous cameos made the movie very interesting. The movie is a blast. The subject matter makes a great backdrop for this romantic-action-comedy mix. I think, Adam and Jamie of the Mythbusters were interestingly surprising and increased the humorous feel to this film. I hardly noticed the so called "bad language" as some of you "critics" pointed out. There are worst movies with real bad, no foul language. You think your kids don't know the f^(& word? Get real and tell them not to use it. It is one thing to know it but another to actually speak it. Some of it is actually funny and appropriate.

OK movie, I had already heard of all of the Darwin stories in this movie but still pretty good especially if you have never heard the stories before. True or Urban legend??

This movie was pretty boring and ridiculous. If it wasn't for Winona Ryder and her "cutesy" style, I would have considered it a total waste of my time and resources. Joseph Fiennes was occasionally funny... I'm tough on movies anyway, and this one did nothing for my opinion of these typical "trash" flicks with the filthy language and unneccessary sex and violence scenes. 2.5 stars is really too high a rating for this movie...I'm being generous.

Bad. Just all around bad. I tried to give it a chance, but it only got worse.

Not a horrible movie, but not great. If you've got a Saturday to kill, this movie is adequate, but no WMD.

I was not able to see this movie because it was in very poor condition.
