Amazon.com:
Despite all the pot-smoking in Idle Hands, the message here seems to be that too many bong hits will take you on a one-way trip to the devil's playground. That's what happens to Anton (Devon Sawa), a wasted teen who's so perpetually zonked on weed that he doesn't notice his parents have been slaughtered by an evil force that then possesses Anton's right hand, taking on a wildly homicidal life of its own after Anton chops it off with a butcher knife. The first victims are Anton's pals Mick (teen-movie stalwart Seth Green), who gets a beer bottle embedded in his skull, and Pnub (Elden Henson), whose head is lopped off by a rotary saw blade, and later reattached with a barbecue fork and duct tape. (Did we mention that Mick and Pnub turn into undead jokesters? It's that kind of movie.) This unoriginal idea is little more than an excuse for gross-out effects and easy one-liners, and then Vivica A. Fox appears as the demon-buster who knows how to kill the hand once and for all. It's fun to a point, and certain to be a popular Halloween hit with its intended teenage audience, but you can't help wishing this movie had tried harder to be something more than a collection of crude and gory gags. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - what an amazing 90s movie!
This movie is amazing! Its got Devon Sawa, Jessica Alba and Seth Green! You cant go wrong with this spooky, high school comedy! Its from the 90s and its the most fun movie ever! The Offspring play at the school prom! Check this movie out!
Rating:  - Idle Hands, early Jessica Alba film, teenage slaughter film
Idle hands is a poorly made teenage serial killer film, in which a slacker teenager's hand is possessed and kills other teenagers. Jessica Alba has a small part as a girlfriend. Skip this film
Rating: - amazing horror/comedy
I remember seeing this movie when it first came out. This movie did a great job in the comedy/horror genre. It has good jokes, great dark humor, and still keeps an essence of creepiness and horror elements. Jessica Alba is amazing, Devon Sawa is really convincing, and Seth Green & Elden Henson are funny "side kicks". Good one liners, still keeping that horror element like I said. Story is lacking a little bit, but still worth 5stars
Rating: - Be careful, man, some of 'em are guys
IDLE HANDS is a movie that I remember always being on the USA Network when I was really young, and I remember it was a sick movie. It still is, but now older (but not wiser), I see this movie for how it should be seen: a twisted little gem that turns the Dawson's Creek world inside out. Yes, SCREAM did it too, but for some reason, the way IDLE HANDS shows us a guy that loves the girl next door and has two dumb buddies like every bad teen movie ever makes the fact that the movie is about a stoner ...

Rating: - For camp fans only
The problem with this movie and its poor reviews is tat it's being reviewed by the wrong people. This movie is absolutely not for people who watch the Academy Awards or go to arthouse film festivals. This movie is sleazy, campy and cheesy.
It's a hybrid of the classic stoner comedy and the slasher flick genres. Think Dude, Where's My Car? meets Evil Dead. The plot is expendable, but the the dialogue is well written for the characters and the humor is funny more often than not.
