Hooray 4 Everything (2005) User Reviews

This Killed at the Beverly Hills Film Festival

With better direction and higher production values, this would be an amazing short film. The acting was spot on, the characters were hilarious, and the crowd when I saw a screening at the BHFF roared.

I would like to see this cast do a feature (with a different director and a bigger budget, of course).

The film's plot as presented in the short might not be re-workable into a feature, but I would not mind seeing a totally different film starring this troupe.

Sort of how Broken Lizard's first short "Tinfoil Monkey Agenda" had nothing to do with their features "Puddle Cruiser" or "Super Troopers," I would love this bunch of actors to tackle a full length story.

What I want is for them to stay with the Mockumentary style -- I want more Spinal Tap-style films but with a younger cast. Anf for those who say, just turn to Christopher Guest's films, I say that some people are a little tired of that same cast. We miss the energy and zest of Parker Posey.

Hooray For Everything has it. The group's inter-dynamic is great.

Also, I understand that the cast performs in New York City. Has anyone seen the Hooray For Everything Improv show?

Awesome

I saw this in New York at The Tank and it was amazing. All these guys need a great script and they'll take off. The script of this film was funny. But it was simple, more like a basic introduction to the types they can pull off as a group. But clearly they are capable of much more. Even the style of joke delivery varies so much that you know that if handed a script that pushed the envelope they would eat it up. You can actually see an early version of this film at hooray4everything.com I understand that they are working on a script. But I think they need to try to work on someone else's story to be great. If they make their own stuff they'll just serve their own additions.
