96% on Rotten Tomatoes?


That high a score for this long-drawn-out-one-joke-mess of a movie is ineffably absurd. I did not laugh once. By contrast, I laughed many times at The Three Stooges and it gets only 51%! Is it that critics can't "let their hair down" and enjoy really well-done slapstick, whereas satirical movies played by actors with an accent just hits their funnybone?

Actually the movie is hilarious, so the score is fair.

i signed up to movie chat just to reply to you Thaisticks...i could not disagree more with you and your opinion about this movie.This is a genius piece of comedy film....so many layers to this movie and so so funny..It is a dry humour and sometimes folk wont get it but usually a closed minded cant think for them self type of person..luckily you have zero influence on anything...just becuase you don't get true comedy genius doesn't make you an expert on what is funny or not, just go ahead with your own thoughts and leave your negative vibe to yourself...i bet you couldn't understand flight of the concords either.

As it’s been said, this film is a funny and brilliant piece of work. Whether you get it or not, it’s a clever film.

The Three Stooges made you laugh more? I think that says it all.

End of.

I stand by my Three Stooges comment. Slapstick is hardly my favorite comedy mode (my favorite recent comedy is Grand Budapest Hotel) but when well-done it agrees with me--what never does is a grade B movie (B for bad cinematography, bad acting, bad writing) that tries too hard to make up for its deficiencies with puerile cleverness.

Nah, you lost big time.

If you are a fan of movies and not just twice a year moviegoer you will find this funny as you will see all the tropes they have made fun of. If you are not aware of the industry then you will likely not understand half the stuff that is supposed to be funny to begin with.
