I'm pretty amazed that this film actually got made and released, because even though Aqua Teen Hunger Force has been on Cartoon Network for several years, most of the world still has never heard of it (evidenced by the insane bomb scare in Boston!). If you are an Aqua Teen fan, then you've probably already seen this movie (my pal Chris and I went on opening night), and if you aren't a fan, there's no reason for you to go (but I definitely recommended checking out the show and seeing if you get hooked). As for me, I loved it and laughed my head off - sometimes it was hard to stop laughing to hear the next joke (I totally lost it during the MC Pee Pants cameo)! Besides Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, almost all of the other side characters make appearances, although I have to say it seemed a little unbalanced. I wish there would have been more Carl and more Mooninites, and a little less Cybernetic Ghost. The plot is pretty cool, since it kind of tells an origin story (and incorporates the weird closing credit images from the show) and it does a good job of intertwining all of this bizarre stuff. The opening spoof of the singing snack bar foods is unbelivable, and several other moments are too funny to be believed (especially the Civil War video game!). I'd say Aqua Teen works much better as a 15-minute TV show, but this movie was still an incredible gift to the fans - I can't wait to watch it again on DVD!
