Funny, but stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid,stupid...but funny
Julia Sweeny, Dave Foley, Charles Rocket, Kathy Griffin and Tim Meadows. A great cast! But I was disapointed to be truthful. I love SNL movies, but this was probably the worst. Pat was funny...in some parts. But the hour and eighteen minutes that this movie last...it lags on. They could of made this a thirty minute short TV thing. I was disapointed to see Dave Foley in drag...again. I was glad to see Tim Meadows with a small role, he needs to get off of SNL and move on with his career or just find something else to do. Kathy Griffin was horrible, I just wanted her to go away. All in all, it was the stupidest movie I ever saw...but it was still pretty funny. Here's an example of SNL skits that shouldn't become movies...wink wink, nudge, nudge...night at the Roxbury?

How about an "It's Chris"!
What a classic movie. I cannot believe this got negative reviews when it came out. The skits on SNL were great and the movie is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. I am so glad it finally came out on DVD. I love how just when you're about to find out what Pat is, there is always SOMETHING to get in the way. For example, in this movie we see Pat's drivers liscense, but a dog just happened to chew it up and one of the bite marks is dirrectly over the "sex" identification. I also love how conceited Pat is, when *it's* really the ugliest character I've ever seen.

Personally, I think Pat is the guy and Chris is the girl because of all the feminine clothes Chris wears. Also notice how Chris's hair changes length during the movie. I'd love to see a sequel, or a movie dedicated to Chris, but I don't think that would ever happen. Unfortunately. Hopefully there will be an SNL Best of Julia Sweeney DVD (amoung the others they have) and will include many of the Pat sketches.

Great movie. I can watch it over and over and never get bored.

The worst SNL movie ever!
My god stay away from this film it's terrible. It's not even funny from the sketch that I watch off SNL. It's only 76 minutes long! There are only a few parts that can be funny but the rest of the movie is just stupid. If you want to watch a better SNL movie go watch Wayne's World and Night at the Roxbury the rest of the SNL movies are dumb just like with the retarded movie Coneheads.

Pretty funny
Androgyns are funny, just face it. Pat gets into all sorts of trouble but the creepy stalking neighbor steals the show. Love when he keeps trying to crack her password and the laptop goes "access denied...uhehehehe"

One of the worst movies ever made
On Saturday Night Live, the "It's Pat" skits were always funny. The movie, however, was not. Yes, it is a very bad idea to take a few minute sketch and try to stretch the joke into a 90 minute movie. While it's is not a great movie it is pretty funny at times. Especially the neighbor who becomes so very psycho obsessive in trying to discover Pat's gender. ... Read more

Fantastic
I must say that I bought this movie only because Deborah Harry was in it. I was completelly blown away by her performance. She is an ICON and she knows it. You almost will not recognize her in this role. The directing was tight, story was excellent, acting was super. The ending is MORE than disturbing. There is one scene with Deborah that makes the film worth it's price, it involves Deborah doing a campy version of Andrea True Connection's "More More More". Just buy it!

Perfect movie
I have never been more shocked and delighted by one movie. "Six ways" is simply a perfect movie, the acting is great, the plot, the action, and the way the movie just flows. Debbie Harry and Norman Reedus make a perfect mother/son duo and their dialogue is scary yet entertaining. The movie borrows aspects from such classics as "Psycho" and "Goodfellas" but is original enough to be a classic on its own. This movie has everything that you could possibly want from a movie: violence, freaky sex, and great performances. If you haven't seen it you don't know what you're in for when you do!

A thriller that's smart, funny...and charming!
Charming may be an odd word to use to describe a thriller, but it fits in this case. This is a completely unique entry in the thriller category, effortlessly fusing the Jewish mob, Youngstown Ohio, and a mama's boy. Yes, a decidedly odd combination, but it works exceptionally well, thanks to intelligent writing and fine acting.

Harry Odum lives with his mother who dotes on him beyond the point of normalcy. Hence, Harry is seriously conflicted about the opposite sex and, as well, easily provoked into bouts of raging violence. This last quality proves to be an asset as a Jewish mob underling, Abie Pinkwise, hears of Harry's gifts which have been applied, quite diligently, to a strip club owner.

Harry's quickly recruited as muscle for Louis Varga who, in spite of his last name, is Jewish to the point of reveling in a typical meal--gefilte fish ("Jewish hamburger" he calls it), horseradish, matzoh, and the works--which he invites Harry, a goy (non-Jew), to participate in along with Louis' crew, all members of the tribe. Harry's good at his job--waxing (perhaps the Youngstown Ohio Jewish mob version of "whacking")--and so is soon rolling in dough, enough to buy a new house for him and his Mom.

As Mrs. Odum, Debbie Harry is spot on. She's an excellent actress given the right parts, and this is definitely one of the best parts she's done in a film. The Oedipal attachment she forces on Harry is so strong that near the end of the film, the inevitable happens (you can guess what that is), resulting in tragedy that nevertheless produces a malicious grin. This strong black comedy component of the film, then, is like fusing Bruce Jay Friedman's "A Mother's Kisses" or Dan Greenburg's "How to Be a Jewish Mother" with the Godfather. Except Harry himself is not Jewish, even though his mother is a Jewish mother to the max.

Harry meets Iris, a Hungarian emigre girl who eventually captures his confused heart. Elina Lowinsohn is perfect in this role, as is Isaac Hayes as a corrupt cop (a lotta self-respecting crime films have one of these, right?), Adrien Brody as a wanna-be gangster who emulates urban culture to the point of near-ridiculousness, and Norman Reedus as our hero Harry. The nicely juxtaposed opposites of deep down innocence (in Harry) and vicious brutality work well when combined with Iris' radiant simplicity, generating the charming element of the film.

A constantly broken chair and Mrs. Odum's other homey quirks supplies much of the humor here, but there is some grim stuff too. This is a quirky film that never really got its due and should be seen by many more people.

Recommended.

A Twisted and Innovative Inversion of the word "love"
Norman Reedus has to be perhaps one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood. From starring roles in the Boondock Saints and minor roles in films like 8mm, he came into his own with this film. Adrien Brody as a wannabe gangster, obviously before playing Vladyslaw and Isaac Hayes in a great cameo...you are shown a twisted tale of mother/son bonding and a blossoming relationship between two young adults with a commonality in their desire for one another. Plenty of violence to consume that crowd...a dark comedy at its finest.

jaw dropping
i hadn't seen this movie before when i decided to buy it, but adrien brody was in it and i've enjoyed all the movies i've seen with him. i have to say his acting in this was so convincing i had to laugh because his character reminded me of someone i knew. i couldn't even reconize adrien's personality while he played this strange character. the reason i only gave it three stars was because it was unneccessarily vivid in its violence and the plot didn't need to be that disguisting, especially the end. it seemed like the writer and director were trying too hard to get a rise out of people. i give adrien's performance five stars, but the movie just leaves you upset with the disturbing ending. ...
