First of, I love Danny McBride and his type of messed up comedy ,, the movie is really good .. the plot is genuine and the screenplay had A lot of Thrill mixed with the "I don't give a damn" comedy ,, you start with just a simple accident and then end up with a massacre ,, the minute i heard Luke Del Tredici name ,, Brooklyn Nine-Nine popped in my head , I was like he worked in that project, then gotta watch this one.. A lot of people might hate it , Oh they will ... but don't let that prevent you from enjoying a nice fresh comedy action thrill. Cast wise, as i said love Danny McBride he's the type of characters that is made to make a mess .. wished Seth Rogen got more time in there they both are hilarious ,, Elizabeth Gillies also did well . It is Recommended ,, forget all these 4/3's reviews.

Didn't come in expecting much from this movie, but it seemed to be a well executed dark comedy that didn't take itself too seriously and for the most part kept a proper balance with being the right amount of absurd. Not a fan of Danny McBride in general, but he was the proper casting choice for this role.

Just for fun do this when you watch this movie: every time a human being is murdered, imagine that happening to a dog or a cat. A dog gets thrown off a balcony and its head explodes in blood. A dog gets its face smashed in with a brick and dies. A cat gets shot in the face and then a dog gets its head blown off with a huge handgun. That doesn't happen in this movie, of course, they only do this to human beings so it's OK. What a bizarre culture we live in.

Honestly I found it a nice break from the usual morally upright standing movies to see what people can be like sometimes when pushed pass a cetrain point and begin to spiral. Loved Danny McBride in this. His best I think.

How this gets 5.7 is beyond me. It's a bad Danny McBride movie with an daft story that doesn't make sense. I usually like this type of movie but just found this irritating and annoying. It started well but ended up turning into a mess.

I watched this because of the trailer. It looked dark, stupid and funny. I thought it would be enjoyable. The first half of the movie is consistent with what I expected from the trailer. Not the second half. I didn't ask myself from the outset how the movie should end, and the second half just feels like the director is trying to get to a conclusion, but it's just violent, doesn't make any sense, and, most importantly, absolutely not funny nor enjoyable. Almost felt like 2 different movies. Bottom line, I wish I hadn't wasted my time with this. Just watch the trailer and stop there.

Yah yah, I like Black Comedys. I do. But this doesnt quite get there. It starts out fine enough but moved from 'dark' to just 'ugly sinister' fairly quickly. Its one of the aspects of our culture that violence among males is more acceptable and understandable, violence among women can also be, but to a lesser level, but violence from women unto women just doesn't work much for me, and I suspect many viewers. This is mostly a two-person play with all the others merely being side characters. A brutal careless Danny McBride plays his part well enough, but doesnt seem to take anything much seriously, others lives, his fate, the movie itself? Rosemarie DeWitt is a standout and does a great job within the limits of the script, thoroughly convincing. One of its underlying messages is how the 2009 crisis devastated peoples lives and how this could impact on their choices. However this message is thin, subtle and not well explored. The main problem is, as I said, the violence feels bad, not funny, and the jokes are thin and loaded almost entirely in the first 30minutes. After which its the same standard creepy 'bad person hunts the good guys' plot, sans humour. Where it really falls apart is probably when a 14 year old child is kidnapped and threatened with being executed, then has her father that she cares for shot to death outside the house she is being hunted in. Does that sound funny? Cos it didnt seem like it to me. Was it watchable, yeah, especially for Rosemarie, who as a bonus to lechers spends the last 30 minutes running around in a bra. She's a good actress with our without a blouse, that seemed a touch unnecessary but I guess realistic as well. Did the movie seem to have a clear idea of what it was and where it was going? No. Started out dark comedy, ended as a b-grade horror.

Wasn't funny. Horrible Movie. Wouldn't watch it again nor would I recommend anyone else to watch it. From the beginning it was dark comedy on serious situations. How can you make killing people, kidnapping teenagers and holding people hostage funny? You can't. Because there's nothing funny about it.

The amount of people that hate this movie is just staggering as I thought Arizona deserves a much higher rating. I know there are alot of people with no sense of humor at all and it seems they all watched this movie and felt the urge to review it afterwards. Arizona is a dark comedy, and a good one. Everything that can go wrong goes wrong. It simply starts with an accident and escalates quickly into a murdering spree. The cast is great for this movie. All good funny comedians that made me laugh alot in the past. Some have only small parts like Seth Rogen and Kaitlin Olson (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia) but even in their short appearance they made me laugh. Danny McBride and Rosemarie DeWitt play the major characters and they did a good job. Danny McBride (from Vice Principals) has just one of those funny faces, he'll make me laugh in a blink. The story is very easy to follow, it's dark and funny, and very entertaining. I honestly can't understand what people don't find entertaining in this movie.
