Hexed (1993)

I taped this movie in 1994 and have watched it many times since; it's hilarious. It's been a few years since the last time I watched it but there are so many comic scenes in it that often plays out in my head. A few favorite moments from the film: Simon (Matthews's jock-like obnoxious supervisor who behaves like Louise's husband in Thelma & Louise) and Hexina arrives at Matthew's apartment and starts going through his stuff. Simon looks scornfully at a bookshelf and hisses "books"! Matthew borrows a tape recorder from his sweet coworker Gloria who hesitantly gives it to him with the words "Be careful, it's a Sony and I'm still making payments on it" Hexina, having an orgasm, yells "Papa Papa".Detective Ferguson, while chasing Matthew on foot, jumps up on the hood of a car and falls down flat on his face. When discovered by other detectives he utters "The son of a bitch hit me with a lead pipe"

I can not believe there are so many people dissing this movie! I found it by accident, and I rent it every time i can find it! i hear it is finally coming out on DVD, and i couldn't be happier! this movie is totally hilarious! the absolute funniest sex scene ever! (if i ever meet a girl who does this, i think i would shoot myself!) I would highly recommend this movie to anyone breathing with a sense of humor! It is one of the best "black humor" comedies ever made. As someone else pointed out, there are no big name actors or actresses in this film, but there are a lot of familiar faces. The bottom line is, from the screenplay down to the acting, this is one funny movie!

The biggest strength of "Hexed" is that it's a movie difficult to categorize. Although it resembles your typical hapless-everyday-man-gets-in-over-his-head comedy, you never really know where it's gonna to take you. It's offbeat, unpredictable and gets darker by the minute. It also gets jarringly violent at times, but it's competently acted and deserves a solid ** rating.

Maybe my expectations were too high -- but then again, all I wanted was a few laughs from a movie promising to be a send-up of all those Fatal Attraction-type thrillers. Claudia Christian and Arye Gross weren't bad, but the dialogue they were handed was just doltish, and the supporting cast was about as funny as a hearse -- what was with that ridiculous police sergeant? I just got the sense that everyone involved was either trying way too hard to make a lousy script funny, or (in the case of Norman Fell and the rest of the supporting cast) just marking time and waiting for their paychecks. 90 minutes, maybe half a dozen laughs. A waste of a great premise.
