Okay, first of all, Mr. Director, you are NOT Christopher Guest. I can see where you were going with this, but unfortunately the end product was lackluster at best.Right off the bat: the packaging was incredibly misleading. There were no references to this being a "mockumentary," or fake in any way. We rented the DVD in the hopes we'd found an interesting and original documentary on the darker side of comedy. Boy were we surprised.The acting was okay, I suppose, but being a comic myself I just found most of this film excruciating to sit through. Just because you put actors on screen with lines that a bad comic might say, doesn't mean those very lines are then funny. This was by far one of the worst films I've seen in a long time.Now it did have some positives. A few of the lines / gags were funny, but by and large I found it impossible to sit through. I actually turned the film off before the end. I tried. I really did. But much like trying to slit my wrist with a spork, the going was slow and just too damned painful.Stay away from this movie.

This movie is well worth watching if you want to laugh harder than ever. A warning though to the people with a lame sense of humor ~ this movie is not for you! If you liked "Something About Mary" you'll absolutely LOVE "Hacks"!!! I laughed so hard I cried. A hidden jewel among many less entertaining flicks!

I don;t think making fun of retardid people is very funny but there's a lot of funny other stuf in this like a white guy playing a black rapper and a middleage lesbian who tells vagina jokes. I couldnt help but laugh a lot. My brother is in a wheelchair and he does fall down sometimes and sometimes it IS funny. I also like the music. The nudity is scary and funny - that something you dont see every day.

This is one of the funniest and most brilliant films I have ever seen. I just saw it at the Johns Hopkins Film Festival and I laughed the entire time. Glenn Rockowitz has done an amazing job of making a film that is hilarious and deep at the same time. The actors are incredibly funny and believable. This movie f**** with everybody! I know it will go on to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Someone should pick up this movie and distribute it so all of America can laugh solidly for 90 minutes. G-d knows we could all use a little laughter these days. Hacks will keep me going for a long time. And the music kicks
