One of the most anticipated movies at this year's Sundance Film Festival also turned out to be among the most divisive. On Friday afternoon, the Eccles Theater had to turn away hundreds of movie fans, and even a few industry VIPs, at the packed premiere of "Swiss Army Man," starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano.

But the bizarre fable about a lost man (Dano) who befriends a farting corpse (Radcliffe) could win the festival's award for the most walk-outs, as a continuous stream of audience members kept standing up and bolting for the door throughout the film.

He should just go away and live off the obscene amount of money he’s already made, and will continue to make from his child actor days.

I don’t see him being commercially viable in his adult life, unless it’s in a gay propaganda piece targeted to said community.

“Befriends a farting corpse”

Let’s be honest. Who here hasn’t done the very same thing three or four times?

There are three of us...if I’m not DQ’d for sneaking a peek or two at scenes as I walked through the room where the kids were watching it.

So...they’ve perfected the multi-sensory movie experience, olfactorily speaking?

Actually he’s been pretty deliberate in his post Potter world, he seems to really like oddball movies with no audience appeal. HP paid him enough to never have to work again, he’s definitely choosing this stuff. I won’t watch any of it, but I do think it’s pretty cool he’s opted for he odd path.

What would really make it authentic is if they release stink-bombs on the audience with each fart.

Make it interactive art.

I thought his performance was stiff and breathed little life into the character.

No acting required there ...
