What a seriously underrated comedy! If you can enjoy Mel Brooks, Chevy Chase, (the early comedy of) Bill Murray, Zucker Bros, Python, Mike Myers,Tim & Eric, Eric Andre and the like then your Hahaguffawchuckleamalus has most likely not been damaged beyond repair and I'm willing to bet you will enjoy this movie. Maybe you will even LOL at it like I did.
Maybe it's because I'm gen-x and grew up with actual comedies (not serious dramas with one or two moments of comic relief touted as "comedies") but I watched this with my boomer dad and we actually laughed a lot while watching it. It's goofy, zany, silly, and above all, funny!
Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy an Iñárritu, Kaufman, Wes Anderson, Aronofsky, etc too, and love all kinds of film, but when I wanted a comedy that would make me laugh, this one fit the bill quite nicely.
My 8 star rating is most likely a bit high, I wanted to give it a 7, but felt like I had to try and tip the average a bit as well. If you like to laugh and you don't think every film you watch needs a critical analysis or it's garbage, then I highly recommend this movie!
