my favorite parts of The Pest is the opening and ending credits of the movie. The movie its self is OK (it has its moments)but the story line gets very silly, and the whole movie the main character keeps on reminding you that he's called the pest for a reason, for he keeps on bugging everyone every second he's on screen so you could find your self getting bored sometimes. The main character (Pest) picks up multiple impressions with different cultural background to bug people with. My favorite impression with out a doubt has to be his Asian impressions. In conclusion, i love this movie because it's a classic ,and i would never get tired of watching the opening scene of The Pest.

WOW who is on crack here? this was one of the worst movies i have ever seen i forced myself to watch 40 or so minutes of it because of a friend but i just coulnt do it, i lasted through the vulgar poop jokes but as pukeing on each others faces began i knew i would rather trade places with john leguizamo and be the one shot and killed then watch this horror of a DVD. I just am thankful that movies like this are either no longer made or not mistaken as remotly funny but a horrible pest of a film and simple waste of time the world would be better off if this movie didn't exist wasting peoples time and money not to mention brain cell

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. I have to admit I didn't watch it from beginning to end as cleaning the toilet was more entertaining.The 'star' was the most unpleasant character I've ever seen, neither funny nor attractive, in fact, creepy and obnoxious are far too complimentary.It is painful to watch, there is no acting, especially not from the star who behaves as a doped up mentally deficient take off on one of those loud mouthed black actors.As horrible as it is to watch one of those can't shut up black actors, watching a Puerto Rican one is even worse. The name of the movie is descriptive, he is the pest. This movie is a must miss.

I actually liked this movie I just bought it a few days ago I admit that the fart jokes are pretty bad and embarrassing to watch. That aside this is a great movie to sit down and watch on a late Friday night. I think that the characters are fantastic I love Himmle, Ninja, Pest, Chubs, Scotish Mob, and just about everybody else. At a few points in the movie I think it moves a little fast but it adds to the off the wall humor that I really enjoy. Some of Johns impressions are a little stupid but for the most part I actually enjoyed them such as The delivery boy at the beginning of the movie. Also how can you not like Chubs and Ninja? They are very lovable characters that really add to the story. Overall the story seems a little rushed sometimes and half the time I think that the characters should just pop in saying "What the plot holes going on here!?" But it's still a great movie and I think you can enjoy it lots if you just sit back get some snacks and hit play.
