David Rice (Hayden Christensen) has discovered he can teleport anywhere and wouldn't you know it, people want to kill him! Folks just aren't as accepting of Jumpers as they used to be. Despite the advice of legal council, David continues forward in a plot full of more holes than a mini-golf course littered with swiss cheese. The "talented" and whiney Christensen brings a performance that will leave you saying, "Did he just fart or was it acting?"

UPDATE (January 2009): No more YouTube sample. Sorry. The "man" said so. And by the man I mean FOX. And you know what they say about the "man"... Chico and the "Man." Here is an approximate transcript of what you missed: Movie says something. We say something clever. The Movie Says something else. We say something witty. The Movie says something related to a "Plot." There is a pause. Fart Joke!

So, in short, I'd like to conclude by saying this iRiff is funny. But you don't have to take my word for it!*

 

*Actually, I guess you do. Sorry.

this was such a bad movie, it had to be riffed. thankfully, it was riffed very well by these guys.
their commentary was great and made the movie totally watchable. definitely worth buying.
class dismissed.

I purchased this a while ago and finally got around to watching it. I thought these guys did a decent job but there weren't any jokes that had me busting a gut laughing. A few of the jokes repeated a bit (mainly the Sam Jackson is Sisqo jokes - this felt like the same joke over and over again instead of a running gag, which it could have been). If you guys did another movie that I really wanted to see a riff of I'd probably check it out eventuallly but if it was a take it or leave it title, I'd probably have to think it over. The $2.99 is probably a little high for just 2 guys, especially with no preview clip anymore (although 30 seconds wasn't really a decent clip size either.)

edit- I hope this feedback helps you out on future projects.

Oh, and from a technical aspect the recording was very good, although I'd bump up the volume on the parts where you whisper as a characters voice. Some of those got drowned out a little. You can tell that someone is whispering even if the volume is turned up close to the other riffs.

We're dropping the price. It's the Super Mega Totally Ridiculous Marti Gras Sale-a-bration! But Hurry! This price is only an unlimited time offer! -Drew
