The Onion Movie

Well, the Onion has had a history of being a highly political satirical newspaper before it went online and ceased it's physical paper print version. Now, they have upped the ante again with the Onion Movie.

In short, it is a bunch of sketches about modern US political issues such as racial stereotyping, war conflicts (in the middle east and the slavic region) and also general news parodies. Pretty much a much beefier version of the Chasers War on Everything, with a budget to boot since they bring in some interesting cast members.

It is quite funny if you're into such satire, but if you are easily offended... I would suggest you give it a miss. I watched this rather late at night but it did have me laughing quite considerable inside.

8.5/10
