Idle Hands should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

Watched Idle Hands so you don't have to. You're welcome.

The science in Idle Hands has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

The script for Idle Hands feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Idle Hands?
Just got out of Idle Hands and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Idle Hands is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Honestly, Idle Hands would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: Idle Hands is the most overrated film of the decade
Everyone praising the Idle Hands performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Idle Hands's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Rewatched Idle Hands last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
