I was a little skeptical about purchasing this movie after watching the trailer via YouTube. It looked like an ok movie but not great....boy was I pleasantly surprised! This movie I thought would be just another so so comedy, however, it took a pretty dark turn about 30 minutes into the beginning and continued to surprise me throughout the rest of the film! A definite must see and buy on my list!!

this was NOT what i had expected it to be, the trailer made it seem like some other thing, turned out to be completely different. Yeah it is about a guy that has low self esteem and wants to get some training to protect himself from everyone. By the middle of the movie it just takes turns for the worse! the movie turns very very dark and this is where the trailer led to something different. it gets nuts. its got some twist that might blow your mind or if you're someone like me, you'll see it coming.It is very very interesting. highly recommend

Great movie if you like something that makes you think. The humor is a little more deadpan and there's a bit of dialogue for some of the scenes (think Napoleon Dynamite) so if that's within your line of things when watching a movie, this one is worth watching. Following a middle-aged man who has to find it within him to gain self-confidence, what he goes through in the movie is both funny and thought-provoking. Recommended.

“The Art of Self Defense” packs the dry humor into this strange dark comedy. It’s not for everyone but it’s definitely original and worth the watch!

Satires are supposed to be funny by making fun of the things they spoof. This spoof has a serious side that makes it hard to always laugh while still being intrigued. See the special features for a good, straight-forward laugh.
