Christopher Dell'Isola I Bought the DVD because i heard all the rage about this Queer Duck so I went to wal mart and bought it for 14 bucks watched it when i got home and i absolutely loved it from beginning to end. From celebrity jokes to gay jokes the movie was terrific. The voice actors were amazing and Mike Reiss sure does know how to entertain people this is a great movie that has to be bought not rented. It was nice to see Mark Hamill, Tim Curry and David Duchovny doing silly cartoon voices like Tiny Jesus. I Laughed my ass off when i saw this it has to be the best independent film ever made right next to Klay World. so i give this movie 10 stars for great voice acting, great animation, wonderful jokes and terrific music.

swingerofbirches I would have given this movie a much lower rating; but, the fact is, I sat through the whole thing and was never terribly annoyed with it. However, the film came very close to crossing that line.The movie faithfully follows the animation and comedy style of the shorts it is based on, which can be found free for the taking all over the Web. I think those shorts have a huge advantage over this movie: they are short.The problem is not that the quality of the humor in this movie ever dips lower than that of the shorts, it's that the jokes are endless, and you get tired of grunting out a half-hearted laugh after a while.The plot, and I use that word loosely, is about Queer Duck questioning being gay. Is this all there is to life: endless parties, drugs, and sex? We know that Queer Duck parties and likely uses drugs, but we also get the impression he is in a committed relationship with Openly Gator. For the sake of a laugh, this impression is ostensibly proved incorrect in an early scene, but knowing the true nature of Queer Duck and Openly Gator, we know they are committed to each other. If they were not, Openly Gator wouldn't be so upset when Queer Duck tries to live life as a straight duck and marries an old buzzard akin to our world's Liza Minelli.But, this is where the plot is lost. The film shows Queer Duck having a wonderful relationship with Madame Buzzard, but when she dies, it never shows why Queer Duck wants Openly Gator back so badly, except that perhaps he is lonely. We are supposed to believe that Queer Duck really accepts being gay because his wife dies. But the beginning of the film doesn't show us Openly Gator and Queer Duck's really bonding; however, the film does convincingly show the bond between Queer Duck and the buzzard. We understand that Openly Gator is heart broken, and we can assume why, but the movie never shows us why. It never shows that spark between Openly Gator and Queer Duck, even though we know they had been in a committed relationship for some time.I would have liked to have seen Oscar Wildcat play a bigger part in this movie. His dry banter provides a welcome respite from the other, louder jokes that play throughout.This movie is recommended if you can't find anything else at the video store and don't want to leave empty-handed. It's a step above that C-level-romantic-comedy you know you don't want to see, in that I think you are less likely to turn this off.

D A This consistently clever, though rarely hilarious low budget cartoon is suitable only for hardcore cartoon (homoerotic?)animation fans, with it's sole purpose being 70 + minutes of shoddy animation dedicated to making fun with, though not of, gays. Alienating a large portion in an already small demographic, Queer Duck does not shy away from the queer demographic in it's relentless cuts to musical numbers and continuous homophobic baiting, although the constant pop culture and celebrity gags should appease many of the students of Family Guy, South Park, and The Simpsons (from which Queer Duck's creator was first established). If one were to distill the zany scatological humor found throughout those gems, cut the resources by about 85%, and add an entire unabashedly homosexual slant, one may appreciate what this little toon is offering.

wrw884 I literally signed up at this site just to knock this lame duck out of the water. I'm almost positive the person who wrote the review "Queer Duck Rules" had some hand in the production of this film, because this was just junk. I checked it out because I saw that it was written by a former Simpsons writer, and had Conan as a guest voice...how could that not be funny? But this film just completely lacked the flow of a proper comedy. There were a couple of decent jokes in the mess though, but I didn't actually laugh at any of them. I just kind of acknowledged that they were jokes in a "well, that's not bad" type of way. Nothing worth spending money on.In addition, the film kept on using sound effects after each joke...like a drummer in a nightclub. I guess to ensure that the audience understood which lines were jokes, and just about everyone came off looking bad. On top of all of this, the musical numbers were drawn out and tedious, which made them feel like nothing more than filler.This cartoon runs at about seventy-two minutes. I turned it off at about fifty minutes, and I actually felt ashamed that I wasted fifty minutes on it. That should tell you all you need to know right there.
