It’s important to go into a movie with a title such as All Jacked Up and Full of Worms with the right mindset. You can’t approach All Jacked Up and Full of Worms with the same expectations you may have for a normal mainstream movie. That might appear to be common sense but you'd be surprised how often movies like All Jacked Up and Full of Worms suffer from criticism from people whose mainstream tastes go with them wherever they go.
I approached All Jacked Up and Full of Worms with the same open mind with which I approached the Tommy Wiseau starring Best F(r)iendsmovies. I didn’t expect a classically mainstream, straight-forward entertainment. And I was prepared for something that may not make much sense but did so with stranger, more transgressive intentions. All Jacked Up and Full of Worms met my expectations. It also is just what it advertises, all jacked up and full of worms.
