Customer Rating:
Summary: Sad, depressing, dreary, disturbing, even horrifying
Comment: Not much more I can add to my review title; that pretty much says it all. Although, I will admit the actors did a very good job. I'm sorry I watched this movie, and can guarantee I won't watch it again.
If you enjoy sad and depressing movies that are even a little creepy, you'll love this movie.

Summary: Confusion and death lead to unbelievable actions
Comment: The Mudge Boy revolves around the simple farm life of Duncan Mudge, a reclusive, awkward, borderline retarded boy who is extremely troubled by his mother's untimely death. He's socially inept and psychologically troubled, and his best friends are an invisible boy named Edgar and a chicken named Chicken. In fact, chickens are just about his only real friends.
The kid's troubled, and his chicken friendship is not the only problem. He also enjoys deep-throating chicken heads (not a euphimism) and wearing his deceased mother's clothing. And when around others his age, he's hopelessly out of place and goofy - basically he's Forrest Gump with a chicken instead of Jenny.
One day he's with a classmate named Perry when more is revealed about Duncan. He stares at his friend's penis, then peaks at it again, while Perry urinates while telling a lurid sexual tale. That night, Duncan's father catches him wearing his mother's nightgown. The next day he is huddled next to Perry, both in underwear, and reaches for Perry's bicep. It's safe to say that his mother's death has brought on the gender confusion and homosexual tendencies. In fact, I'd say that the underlying message of the movie is that many believe those actitivies and beliefs are more often than not the result of some sort of childhood trauma, and a mental problem.
The movie gets weirder by the minute, and it's only a matter of time before there's fellatio, voyuerism, and Duncan gets raped in the barn by Perry while wearing his mother's wedding dress - despite Perry's protestations of not being a "queer". Yeah, you read that right.
Don't let anyone convince you otherwise; this movie is disgusting for the sake of shock in order to make a statement of some perverse kind. It's not about love as some posters have stated or glossed over. It's violent, abusive, and criminal what happens, and displays more about what can happen to someone facing constant physical and psychological trauma than anything else. It's as deep as a mud puddle, and the most compelling character is the chicken, who gets savagely murdered after an electrifying performance in the later stages of the movie.

Summary: Introduce youself to Emile Hirsch!!
Comment: You most likely never heard of him before but after you see " Into the Wild " you will! The Mudge Boy is an entertaining introduction to young Mr. Hirsch with a very compelling performance as a somewhat disfunctional boy in a rural setting with a very unconventional storyline but a movie that you will be glad you saw. The ending in quite a mindblower.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Bogged down in Mudge
Comment: There is a good story buried in this movie but you have to be very patient while a lot of slow moving and boring scenes go by.
Customer Rating:
Summary: SAVE THE MONEY
Comment: Not worth it. Really slow, confusing, weird. I found myself saying "Huh?", ""How'd this happen?" DOnt waste your money on this movie
