I was at my friends Chris and Angie's house the other night for dinner and a movie. We watched "The Darwin Awards," about a detective who is obsessed with the Darwin Awards, which are bestowed posthumously to people who accidentally kill themselves in incredibly stupid ways. So when he's fired for bungling an arrest, he offers his profiling services to a life insurance company, and with the help of a tough claims investigator, he sets out to identify these idiots...before they die of course. It is an interesting satirical look into the Darwin Awards. The movie itself is a little drawn out and slow at times but there are also some god damn hilarious scenes (i.e. a shower scene that will make you piss your pants). It is a decent movie but what makes it good is the soundtrack. I'd give it a 3 out of 5. The Darwin Awards on the other hand get a 5 out of 5 because they are unbelievably funny. The book is great and should be on the coffee table of every American household.
Check out the Darwin Awards online here. Also, visit the movie site to get some more information and watch a trailer.
