For some reason people complaining about the film have a really childish view of the elements involves, the farts, boner and other "awkward" stuff involved in the film aren't there to make you laugh they are all symbolism.
A really unique thing that more movies should take an example and just try to do something new.… Expand

Do not allow the summary of the film to throw you off. Yes, this is a comedy film that relies almost entirely on jokes about farts, erections and "random" humor. However, there is much, much more to this film than that. Swiss Army man is funny, genuinely touching, and thought provoking without being pretentious. It explores ideas of social acceptance and our own place in society.

I'm giving this film 10/10. This isn't something I'd usually do, even for a film that I love. But while I can understand why some people just won't get it, this film has quickly become one of my favorite films, or possibly even film, of all time. For the love of God, give it a chance, and don't let the immature humor throw you off.

Seriously, any film that makes fart jokes poignant deserves 10/10.… Expand

The cinematography is breathtaking, and feels like one is watching a child's dream. Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano give performances of a lifetime, and they suck you in to the tale they live through. I felt every emotion while watching this movie. I laughed, I cried, and I came out of the theatre stunned. I remember everyone around me was afraid to move after it ended, lest we shatter the beautiful illusion we just witnessed. My one complaint about Swiss Army Man is that the prologue before the title card is incredibly hamfisted and beats you over the head, and it almost feels like a completely different movie than the rest of Swiss Army Man. I almost walked out I hated the prologue so much, but the rest of the movie more than makes up for a fumbled introduction.… Expand

the third act is what really saved the movie for me and turned it into something special. i think the trailer shows too much of the film, or the film is an extended version of the trailer.

Swiss Army Man provides a very juvenile look at life and it's complexities. It's about love, loneliness, friendship, and really just life in general. It's remarkably sweet and touching. Something you might not expect in the face of it's childish and absurd sense of humor.

It's a very weird film. It's certainly original and very unique. While perhaps a bit crass in the humor department, the all around craziness of the things I saw kept me laughing throughout. Sometimes things get outright stupid. Yet, the movie's full on embrace of this makes it hard to turn away from. That's partially because there's more to it than just over the top physical humor and masturbation jokes. Swiss Army Man can be surprisingly insightful. It's a little muddled in it's presentation of the topics it wishes to talk about. It's bizarre nature has a tendency to get in the way of the message. Swiss Army Man has a warmth and positivity to it that few other films do. You'll need to have a stomach for adolescent humor to get to the heart of things. If that kind of humor is right up your alley then you may find this to be the dramedy you've always dreamed of. It's certainly not for everyone and perhaps the execution could be better in some areas, but when it comes to outlandish comedy and surprisingly meaningful insights into humans desire for companionship, Swiss Army Man is still largely a success.

"If my best friend hides his farts from me then what else is he hiding from me, and why does that make me feel so alone?"

Never would I expect a farting talking corpse would've turn out to be a good movie. Even on paper, this idea sounds"If my best friend hides his farts from me then what else is he hiding from me, and why does that make me feel so alone?"

Never would I expect a farting talking corpse would've turn out to be a good movie. Even on paper, this idea sounds awful, but it's one of those things that manages to work out. I always hear people complain that movies just ain't that original anymore, with the endless reboots and the unnecessary squeals. And then you get something like this that's so different. Something so bizarre, weird and original that it's executed in a way that it actually works as a movie.

There's something deeply beautiful and very relatable about "Swiss Army Man" that I know a lot of people won't agree. It isn't for everybody. I mean, just look at the reviews for Sundance and the reports of walk outs during the movie. But then again, what do they know.

Daniel Scheinert & Daniel Kwan bring a sweet and a very surreal study of the human condition that's done so uniquely. Making farts jokes seem so poetic.

This is Daniel Radcliffe at his best and while he's character may be dead, there's still heart within him. Paul Dano who really has been impressing me over the past years is really great in this. Radcliffe and Dano brought a sense of friendship and a real chemistry that after awhile it kinda over shadows the wackiness of whats going on. Some people may find the scenes between them too disturbing or creepy, and I can totally understand that. But it's something that's hard to explain really. Even if you try to put together why something like this worked, but it never fully clicks in your head as the correct answer. Well, what can I say. Movies make you feel something man.

Overall rating: I'm no gonna lie, I teared up a bit while watching this. Yes, a farting corpse movie actually made laugh, cry and think differently on things.

WOW.… Expand

Those that are uncomfortable with the body humor really illustrate some of the ideas being explored. If they can't even watch "fake" bodily functions and not feel ashamed how can they live in their own bodies and not carry shame with them every day?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TL:DR (RECAP & REVIEW) This crazy, sweet, deep movie, replete with farts and boners, is the best movie I have seen for years. Paul Dano as Hank and Daniel Radcliffe as dead Manny are spectacular. There is tremendous chemistry between the two actors, who are pretty much the whole show until the end. Daniels, the directors, use deliberately low-tech effects (and a real bear) to give the feeling of physical reality. Instead of the CGI many other filmmakers use. The soundtrack is acappella. Andrew Hull of Manchester Orchestra layers the soundtrack with dozens of voice played over each other. Not only that, Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe sing quite a bit of the score. After I saw this mindbending movie, I looked up the lyrics to each song to see what they met. Hank is stranded on a desert island. The first thing we say is trash bobbing in the water, with the words HELP ME and MY BOAT WAS CAUGHT IN A STORM. One toy boat is made out of garbage, prefiguring Hank's ability to create environments and creatures out of found materials.

Hank is about to commit suicide when a corpse washes up on the beach. When he discovers the man is dead, Hank goes to kill himself again. But the corpse starts farting, and the farts propel the corpse through the water. Hank grabs a robe, jumps on the corpse and rides him like a jet-ski. At this point, the credits come up, and goddamn if it that isn't a perfect way to introduce something that asks so much of your imagination.

Hank labors to get home, the dead man strapped to his back. To keep the corpse from farting, Hank finds a cork (We don't see what happens next.) The dead man, named Manny, slowly comes to life. He has magical powers, such as a boner that can be used as a compass. Daniel Radcliffe has to do 75% of his acting using only his face and eyes. Since Manny is dead, he doesn't move of his own volition from the neck down. (This results in a lot of priceless slapstick.) Manny is slurred and slow, becoming more articulate as the film goes on. Hank is caught up in teaching Manny what the world is, what love is, what feelings are. Paul Dano excels at playing a man who would be seen as a isolated introvert, but Manny, in a sense, brings Hank to life. Manny sees a picture of a beautiful woman on Hank's cell phone, Sarah Johnson, and declares that's why they have to get 'home'. Hank and Manny's friendship becomes a bond, and possibly a romantic one, as Hank dresses as "Sarah" to try to jog Manny's memory of his life. He reenacts the only flashback we see, Hank sitting on the bus, alone. Only this time, Hank dresses as Sarah, leading Manny through sitting next to "Sarah" and holding her hand.

Sarah/Hank blend more as the story goes along. Manny is in love with Sarah, and with Hank. As he says, "maybe love is bringing me to life". Hank creates a world for them to live in, with a sort of house, a car, even a makeshift bus. One night, they both get drunk and throw a "party". Hank helps Manny to dance by puppeteering his friend with vines. Manny demands to talk to Sarah. Hank puts on the wig, and leans to kiss Manny, who falls over. They put it down to drunkeness. Later in the film, Hank crawls across a water pipe, Manny strapped to his back. Manny feels there's something important that Hank needs to say. Hank cuts him off; but the pipe they're on breaks and they are plunged into the river far below. Underwater, Hank sees Manny drifting down into the water. Hank swims down, grabs Manny, and kisses him. This is interspersed with shots of "Sarah" and Manny echoing Hank's gestures. Manny is happy, and air pours out of his mouth. Hank realizes it, and continues to kiss him, the quiet sound of breathing the only thing we hear as they drift downward into the darkness. Then the cork comes bobbing to the surface. As the triumphant "River Rocket" song plays, they fly up into the air, ecstatic.

There's still a lot that happens, but I'm going to skip it. At the end, Hank and Manny reach "home", the backyard of the woman whose picture is on Hank's phone. She's married, with a kid, and is completely freaked to see a disheveled man and a corpse on her lawn. Manny is again dead. Has he been dead this whole time? Has this all taken place in Hank's brain? Suffice to say, it has not. The suburban setting and all that follows is a jarring transition from the rest of the movie and doesn't work. The ending is deeply unsatisfying. The protagonists are separated for good, and Hank is again alone. Whether or not you choose to see that as a good or bad thing is up to you. It left a very bad taste in my mouth.

But this is a great movie by any measure.… Expand

It's truly unique, weird, bizarre and different. For better or worse. It has moments of pure brilliance; the montage scene with its AMAZING music (goes for the entirety of the movie, and it's all acapella!) is genuinely one of my favorite movie scenes ever. It's euphoric and magical. Then there're other scenes where they do things different in another way. A very weird way. Boner compasses and zombie fart-driven jet skis weird. Lots of farting in this movie. All of it is very hit or miss and most times, unfortunately, it's a miss personally. One of the visions was to create a movie where the first fart made you laugh and the last one made you cry. In reality it's more like the first one makes you cringe and the last one makes you smile. The ending felt kinda rushed and tacked-on but it does also have one of my favorite quotes from a movie ever. Where this movie really shines is with the charming chemistry and dialogue between Dano and Radcliffe and the accompanying music. It has quite a lot to say about life actually, some of it more profound than the rest. At the same time I did cringe really hard at times and wanted to turn it off at the start the first time I watched it. In the end, I do however really like and appreciate this movie. It's flawed but hard not to love. Give it a fair change, it does deserve it. It's truly original and in the future with ideas like this and better execution, greatness is to come.… Expand

As he's attempting to hang himself, though, a dead body washesSwiss Amy Man is an odd film. It follows Hank, who is stranded on an island (sort of) and is at the point where he is going to commit suicide since he has not been rescued. As he's attempting to hang himself, though, a dead body washes ashore. At first he thinks it's just a dead body, and decides he's going to try to kill himself again, but then the dead body starts doing incredible things, like becoming what could be described as a jet-ski by propelling through the water using its incredible farting power. Hank goes on an adventure with Manny (the dead body) with the goal being to get back home to see this girl he used to ride the bus with. Along the way, they play a lot of make believe together and Manny continues to show off the weird powers he has despite being dead. I enjoyed how overtly weird this film is. It knows that it's odd, and it completely owns it. There is a lot of humor involved although I wouldn't call this a comedy. I do think that it gets a little messy as far as the tone goes in the last third of the film, but when I got done watching it I was happy that I gave it a shot. The music throughout the film is also super original and pretty awesome on its own. If you're ever in the mood for a out-of-the-box, weird indie film, give Swiss Army Man a shot.… Expand

This movie was bat **** insane and I enjoyed the huge insanity of it.In some parts the humor was bad but this movie confused me and made me cry so I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to watch something new.

Daniel Radcliffe's performance in this movie is seriously impressive.

If for some reason you're put off by the concept of a farting corpse, please, just please watch it.
It's great.
And surprisingly emotional.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a very, VERY quirky film, from the outset. It has lots of gross out scenes (think farting etc.). I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Its quite quiet, dialogue wise, certainly to start with, so as a viewer I didn't feel I had much of a clue what was going on.

This film has very much a comic book fantasy feel to it and is aimed at a somewhat adult (or certainly teenage centric) audience I'd say - however its not purely 'American Pie' or 'Thunderpants' - its perhaps a bit more 'Shaun Of The Dead' but its not quite any of all 3 of them. Its quite colourful visually and its mainly set in a forest, so there are lots of greens - green, yellow and blue being the main colours of note I suppose. The somewhat perhaps slightly exaggerated colour tones help the film to come across as more...energetic I suppose.

It has quite a naive sounding musical score, making it sound like its some kind of very poignant film, although I'm not sure I'd entirely go that far. It's somehow (if mildly) uplifting. It sounds a little ethereal, or tribal, if anything. There is talk about life, death and sex but in a screwball sort of a way (pardon the accidental pun!). The music did make me smile at times though, I have to say. I'd say the film is mostly about friendship or companionship in an isolated area - that and opening up. Its certainly more than a bit zany and more than a little strange but it does have a sort of a heart about it, which I did appreciate and enjoy.

Some of the dialogue is both amusing and a bit thoughtful at times, when the characters aren't being madcap silly, or silly-ish. Its a hard film to describe in much detail, especially without potentially giving away spoilers. I liked the fast camera movements at times as well.

I would recommend this film, as long as you know it contains sex references and toilet humour, so if that would put you off then maybe you'd be better avoiding it but it does, I feel, become more meaningful than that would make you think. Funnily enough, if I had to describe it in one word, that word would be quirky (as heck)!. Oh and also, you may well find yourself humming the tune from Jurassic Park after seeing this. I'll say no more. It perhaps is a film that deserves a 2nd watch, to see if I can make more sense of some of the messages hidden behind the plot, maybe.… Expand
