DVD Synopsis

America's most popular satirical newspaper makes the leap from the printed page to the silver screen in this political comedy that explores what happens when journalistic integrity is compromised by corporate sensibility. Onion News anchorman Norm Archer (Len Cariou) is s principled journalist, so when he's asked to bend to the will of his corporate overlords he decides to strike back with a fury unheard of in the world of network news. Nothing is sacred as the creative force behind The Onion unleash an unrelenting barrage of satire on such subjects as pop stars, prisoners, peace talks, and blockbuster action films. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

What can I say, it's the Onion. Some will enjoy it for what it is, and some will not. "Raw and Uncut" is just that...

A VERY "Kentucky Fried Movie"-esque movie. Sean Conroy was in this along with at least one other local UCB alumn. Also, apparently Gauge, but I do not remember her. Kinda flat all around. Worn out jokes that arent that funny to start with. Not worth it, besmirches the great Onion name.

If you've read The Onion paper or are a regular visitor to their website you will love this movie! Basically, the movie is 2 hours of Onion style news reports (and a few skits) with the plot, as described on the cover, very loosely woven in but pay attention! It's all pulled together, plot and reports, at the end and if you miss a report it might not make as much sense to you. By the way- when they say 'raw and uncut' they mean it. Don't watch it with your kindergartner or anyone who is easily offended because NOTHING is sacred and the satiric Onion is, as always, an equal opportunity skewer.
