Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters
Aqua Teens Frylock (Carey Means), Master Shake (Dana Snyder), and Meatwad (Dave Willis) come into possession of a futuristic exercise machine which, when activated, grows to giant size and rampages around the city with neighbor Carl (also Willis) trapped inside. The Aqua Teens must team up with the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future (Matt Maiellaro), and Plutonians Oglethorpe (Andy Merrill) and Emory (Mike Schatz) to save the day, while being pestered by Mooninites Ignignokt (Willis) and Err (Maiellaro).
ATHF creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis serve as writers and directors, bringing their brand of crude, surreal, and insanely warped humor to the big screen. It opens with a brilliant sequence involving the heavy metal band Mastodon that's hilarious and should be mandatory viewing prior to all films. Although it sometimes feels like several episodes of the show smooshed together, its manic energy sustains it for most of its 86 minutes, only starting to run out of gas at the end. They throw all of their pop cultural and surrealist influences into a blender, and come out with the purest expression of what ATHF is all about. It's a film for the fans, and the R rating allows it to break the limitations imposed by the Cartoon Network for broadcast of the series.
The voice cast is up to their usual standard of creating memorable and outrageously funny characters. C. Martin Croker once again voices Dr. Weird and his assistant Steve, while mc chris returns as MC Pee Pants. There are also fun cameos by Bruce Campbell as Chicken Bittle, Chris Kattan as Walter Melon, Isaac Hayes III as the Plantation Owner, Tina Fey as Burrito Mother, and George Lowe as Space Ghost.
If you're a fan, like I am, you'll love Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters. I swear, some of my muscles hurt from smiling and laughing so much. Go see it and experience teh funny. If you're not a fan of ATHF or this kind of humor, you won't like it, so save your money.

Gentlemen, behold! The animated movie whose marketing campaign terrorized an entire city should satisfy fans of the Aqua Teen Hunger Force late night television cartoon.
