Haggard (Unrated Version) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the funniest movie I have seen in years. This is Bam Margera's first "Real" Movie (CKYs 1-4 rock) He co-wrote, directed, filmed, starred, and bankrolled the whole thing. That's what makes this movie so great. It was done by real people. The whole CKY crew stars in it, plus tons of cameos from the skate world.
The movie is based off of Ryan (Random Hero) Dunn's real life love life. He plays the main character that has just been dumped by his girlfriend, "Glauren" (Jenn Rivell). He thinks she is the the best girl ever. But everyone else knows she is the town jezebel. Ryan can't get over her and starts to freak out when he finds out she is dating a guy named "Hellboy" (Rake Yohn). His friends Valo (Bam) and Falcone (Bran DiCamillo) are there to vandalize, spy and plot against Glauren and Hellboy while Ryan goes nuts pining away for her.
Tony Hawk plays a cop who busts Ryan. Jason Ellis plays a crazed record store employee who tries to annihilate Hellboy. Bucky Lasek, Brandon Novak, Tosh Townsend, Hoofbite, and even Bam's grandfather all have cameo roles in it.
The cinematography is really cool. The dialogue is so twisted funny. The music is great. Lots of -HIM-, CKY and good old fashioned death metal. Plus the bonus stuff is just as good as the movie. If you are a Bam fan, CKY fan, even a HIM fan, buy this movie! Buy 2 copies incase you break one from laughing to hard. -roCK You-

Ryan Dunn (played by himself) is one sorry SOB; he's completely hung up on Glauren (Jenn Rivell), his ex-girlfriend, even though she's out playing the field.Rumor spreads that she's hooked up with heavy metal's poster child, aptly named Hellboy (Rake Yohn).Ryan can't stand the thought of the two of them together, so he recruits his friends Valo (Bam Margera) and Falcone (Brandon DiCamillo) to find out the truth.The pair do whatever it takes to get their evidence, even break into her house.In the meantime Ryan flirts with insanity, has run-ins with the law and even gets stabbed in the eye with a fork as his friends try relentlessly to help him forget the girl.Haggard also features special appearances by professional skateboarders Tony Hawk, Jason Ellis and Bucky Lasek.

(More customer reviews)For me, crossword puzzles have been a casual thing, I might find one in the airline magazine on a flight and work on it to pass the time or my wife, who is a much more avid fan, might have left a partially finished one about, which I will pick up and see if I can find some answers.
Those who appear in this movie find crossword puzzles to be anything but casual. And this is not about just any crossword puzzle. This is the "gold standard." The NYT crossword puzzle. You may genuflect if you wish.
As the movie unfolds we hear how the NYT graduates the difficulty of its puzzles from Monday to Sunday. We learn how they are constructed, how they are made more difficult, what the rules of puzzle building are and how crossword puzzles infect and afflict those who are addicted to them. Celebrities from Ken Burns to Jon Stweart are utilized in cameo pieces, some of which are very entertaining.
This all culminates in the Marriott Hotel in Stamford, CT where the World Crossword Puzzle Championship takes place every year in March. We meet some of the contestants, we are shown how the tournament is organized and the friendships it has engendered during the years it has been held and as the days pass we get to the "A" finals where three finalists try to solve a puzzle against time on large easels set up at the front of the room which will really draws you in to the genre.
Whether crossword puzzles are your thing or not, this is an entertaining and interesting movie to see. It did not encourage me to increase my crossword puzzle activity, but it sure gave me a deeper appreciation of what those who are hooked on it go through. There is something in this movie for everyone.
