Alright, what did I just watch here?
I hadn't heard about "Mad Heidi" prior to sitting down to watch it, but with it being an action comedy as it was presented by its synopsis, I will say that there definitely seemed to be grounds for a fun movie here.
And "Mad Heidi" was indeed watchable, but it was by no means an outstanding comedy experience. And writers Sandro Klopfstein, Johannes Hartmann, Gregory D. Widmer and Trent Haaga seemed to be going everywhere and nowhere all at the same time, because the storyline in "Mad Heidi" was strange. However, the utter lack of comedy in the movie made it a somewhat tedious movie to sit through.
Luckily, the movie makes up for the lack of comedy in its bizarre oddities and excessive violent moments - not an abundance, but they are there. And that made "Mad Heidi" bearable to sit through. However, I have to say that I wasn't particularly entertained here, and this is hardly a movie that I would recommend you to rush out to get to watch. Nor is it a movie that I will ever watch a second time.
The acting in the movie was adequate, taking into consideration the type of movie that it was and the limitations imposed by the script. It was surprising, though, to see the likes of Casper Van Dien in a movie such as this.
I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as what directors Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein delivered here. No doubt about it. I actually didn't laugh a single time throughout there course of "Mad Heidi", though I did enjoy some of the cheesy - pun intended - scenes and the excessive violence scenes.
My rating of "Mad Heidi" lands on a five out of ten stars.
