I’ve been a fan of The Onion papers for as far back as I can remember. I was greatly excited when I learned that they’d made the jump to the youtube generation with The Onion News Network. Now they’ve even taken a step further and made a movie.
Most of the movie is basically more Onion News Network bits, some of which have even been online already. They did throw in a bit of a story about a corporation taking over the Network, complete with intrusive mascots during the news.
While the whole thing is as funny as expected it would be, it does kind drag on. The bits with the actual story don’t happen that often, so at times it feels like you just paid to watch something you can see for free on youtube. But by the end all the skits and stories come back full circle with the story, and that’s when the funny gets real funny.
