Hundreds of Beavers - Movie Reviews (2024)

Hundreds of Beavers, meanwhile, is a shining beacon of how to tip your hat to yesteryear while making something incredibly fresh.

Every moment is lovingly crafted, every joke is precise. Rarely since the early days of cinema worshipped by Cheslik and Tews has such love, care, and attention gone into such preposterous buffoonery.

It never quite reaches the heights of that peerless example of the joke avalanche approach -- there are moments where the rhythm falters, and things can get a bit overwhelming -- but this is a project to be applauded nevertheless.

It’s been a long time since I was this clueless about what was going to happen next in a film; the feeling was exhilarating.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 30, 2024

Flaws aside, this is stunningly well made. A triumph of big imagination over tiny budget.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 15, 2024

It's genuinely quite bananas and it's genuinely quite funny.

Although clearly inspired by the black-and-white, silent slapstick comedies of the 1920s and ‘30s, this will also delight fans of Looney Tunes cartoons, Caddyshack, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Monty Python’s Flying Circus and stop-motion animation.

Exceeds expectations in every way, including the promise of its title.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 2, 2024

This joyously silly micro-budget period comedy plays out like a live-action Looney Tunes episode.

It raises the question early on… “How long can it carry this absurdism and still work?” The answer is indefinitely.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 25, 2024

There’s a wild and wildly dramatic sense of animal unpredictability... centered around Mr. Tews’ ludicrous and ludicrously good performance. He is clearly a superstar of physical comedy whose facial expressions should be studied in schools.

A midnight movie for an era of YouTube playthroughs and Twitch livestreams.

What gives Hundreds Of Beavers its special quality is the mixture of no-budget, seemingly haphazard gonzo energy and the well-tooled jokes that can only come from rigorous planning and effervescent ingenuity.

A tale of pelts that pelts along, with more lunacy and creativity than a brace of other films, this film dares to go full beaver.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2024

It’s an absolute riot, one that may come with a low price tag but manages to deliver some utterly genius slapstick with the limited resources that it has, which also makes it one of the most unlikely success stories in recent comedy history.

The sheer sustained silliness of this spoof silent comedy is what finally compels admiration.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 11, 2024

There is nothing like Hundreds of Beavers in cinemas right now, and there hasn’t been something like it in a very long time.

Full Review | Jul 10, 2024

Hundreds of Beavers is an immaculately constructed, gloriously bizarre, wholly unique tribute to that basest of comedy pleasures, made by people whose imagination seemingly knows no bounds.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 8, 2024

Shot in black and white, Hundreds Of Beavers’ kinetic visual style and zingy aural aesthetic create a zesty cinematic experience.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 8, 2024

Imagine The Revenant starring Buster Keaton, directed by Sam Raimi, and you are still nowhere close to visualising the sheer madness of this wildly inventive and constantly hilarious movie.
