Rubin and Ed

Nathan Gause | 11:16 p.m. April 10, 1999

This is the Best movie of all time Cris Hicks is a retard to
rate this wonderful piece of cinimatography under 4 stars.
Eat dirt.

Everyone I know thinks this movie is genius! Two stars?!
Yeah, right...I guess you either get it or you don't! This
movie is so cool that everyday 'Asswipes' are stealing it
from video stores because it costs $100 to buy a copy and
it's on backorder! It'll take a good six months to get the
film once it's been ordered. This is what making films is
all about!

Rubin & Ed can't be compared to Phantom Menace but must be
viewed for what it is - a low-budget, quirky, cult flick. I
would have given it 5 stars if Rubin would have buried his
cat near the Sun Tunnels, in the Spiral Jetty, below Utah
Tree, or at Gilgal Gardens. "Success through the power of
positive real-estate!" "My cat can eat a whole watermelon!"

simply the best movie that has ever been made, or could be
made... everyone needs to agree, or be decapitated...

this movie floors me everytime, i love it. i thinks i've
seen it at least 20 times in the last 6 years, and i never
get sick of it...if only i could own it...$8

Great indie! Why can I only choose four stars. This movie
ranks up with Animal House, Slapshot, Used Cars and 1941.
One can watch Rubin and Ed and laugh out loud no matter how
many times one has seen the movie. This film gave me an
almost abnormal preoccupation with Brittney Lewis from 1991
to late 1993.

this is definately one of my all time favorites, altered
state or otherwise

Excellent film! The cast rocks, the quotes are
unforgettable, and this should be available on DVD for
God's sake! Which studio owns the rights to this gem? Maybe
we can get them to re-release...?...

Well, this was the best comedy of all time. Crispin Glover
was amazing and hilarious. If you haven't seen this movie,
rent it right this minute if you can find it!

it's alright but it's not all that

I just sent Rhino Records a letter begging the to pick it
up for dvd. Even if it
doesn't happen everyone else should right them too. I
think that they would
provide a good home for a film that desperately needs one.

This is one of my all-time favorites. The best way to view
this masterpiece is at a midnight showing at a certain
theatre (located at 9th and 9th) with a crowd of like-minded
fans. There's nothing like being in a theater, standing as
a whole, and shouting the anthem of power in positive real
estate... Hey - can YOUR cat eat a whole watermelon?!??
