Drawing Flies

I watched this film the other day not knowing what to expect, only knowing that it was the "lost View Askew film", so I was pretty excited. The film was, very indie, a lot of poor sound and at times boring and at times decent cinematography. And the Jake character and actor made me laugh/wince. However, some very decent dialogue, an interesting storyline and an amazing performance by Jason Lee elevated this film. I am a huge huge huge Jason Lee fan......I kinda wish I was him, and i have always thought he needs to get some deeper peformacnes. I love...LOVE his hilarious trademark characters in the Kevin Smith films, and a few others, but I think he needs some serious dramatic roles....this film provides him with some depth, some drama, and some chances for his hilarious self. Whenever he wasn't on screen i kinda spaced out and got bored. I know it's weird to say he's amazing in a pretty thin film like this, but he really was. I hope to see him get more starring and dramatic roles in the future.

I have seen this movie. It has a great plot and is very funny. A lot of people I know liked it as well. In my opinion the best View Askew movie ever. I loved all of them except for Mall Rats and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Jason Lee's best movie by far. I also thought it had a great soundtrack. At the end of the movie you think to yourself well it couldn't happen any other way but that way. Anyway, you should see this movie and ignore any anti post about it just watch it and make your own decision. Once again I stress this just watch it. I give it a big yesss for its artistic structure. You love it I love it and I love cheese! People love cheese you know!

I myself like all of View Askew movie but this one wasn't as great as i thought it would be.Jason Lee isnt as funny as he usually is.Im not saying that this movie is horrible and most definitely think that everyone should see this movie.It still is a funny movie but not as great as Mallrats and the other movies.

For those of you expecting a great Kevin Smith comedy, this is not it. This is basically a very good student film. The pace of this film is really uneven and the non-Jason Lee characters needed a little more depth. The sound and picture quality is a bit low - the audio almost drops out a couple times. the good news: if you're a fan of Jason Lee you'll enjoy this one. He pulls an "Atlas" and carries the entire film. There is also some suprisingly good cinematography. I was suprised to see that 90% of the cast of Mallrats is in it. bottom line: rent first, buy later.

This is one truly awful film. Poorly shot acted and written. I'd rather be hung upside down and beaten across the feet, then to have to endure this mess again.

I would have to agree with allot of the comments I read on this movie. The sound is a big part of why people may not like it. Although, I must say I was expecting the worst ... so when I saw it the sound actually didn't bother me. You can totally tell the points in the movie where the sound is really bad. Just keep in mind, that this is an independent film and with that I don't think you will be disappointed. I have been a big fan of the Kevin Smith movies. I have all of them on Dvd and decided to see what other movies he was connected to. When I saw "Drawing Flies", I noticed it was PACKED with many of the actors that make up Smith movies. Even smith (himself) makes a debut in this movie. I would have to say if you are a Kevin Smith fan (even though this is NOT a Kevin smith movie) you will enjoy it. Probably because you see many familiar faces. If you are not interested in a low budget Kevin smith type movie, then I suggest you take a pass. I bought this movie through amazon before I watched it. I kind of got nervous when I read the reviews, thinking I wasted my money. I just finished watching it and would have to say it was not a waste. I look forward to seeing the director's cut and sharing this with other K.S. fans. I would recommend adding this to your dvd collection, or at least renting it.

I bought the Drawing Flies dvd without ever seeing the movie. I took a chance since it was a View Askew Production. The intro began with Kevin Smith saying this was the movie that he decided Jason Lee could do a full role in for Chasing Amy. Whatever. This movie is horrible. HORRIBLE. It's terribly acted, terrible plot, terrible everything. Don't bother. I rate it a D-. By the way, if you go to a Vulgarthon, don't be afraid to stand up and say how much the movie stank during the question session. But don't give up, go see A Better Place, a much better film and also a View Askew Production.

I recently seen this film on DVD and couldn't because I am a big fan of viewaskew productions. On first viewing it I couldn't decide what to make of it. First I enjoyed but was not sure about something about it. Second viewing though I enjoyed immensley. I have always been a fan of Jason Lee ever since Mallrats but in this he is superb. Anyone who is a fan of Kevin Smith and Viewaskew, I urge you to see this.

Truly one of the greatest road trip movies i ever saw. That group of friends go on a life changing adventure, made me feel like i was part of the group. The kind of film that makes you wanna go on your own crazy adventures. The bond and friendship in the group is amazing. Jason lee acting is on point here, one of his best performances. Jason mewes ( jay from jay and silent bob) acting here is so much fun to watch, any jay and silent bob lover will have a blast watching jays amazing performance here. The film is in black and white and its just perfect for the atmosphere. This movie has it all, friendship, mystery, amazing locations, and a hell of a story, one of the movies that i can see over and over again and never get sick of it.
