I'm the target audience for this. I generally "like" indie movies/directors and "off-beat" comedies, but this is just unfunny, unengaging trash that is just beneath me.
Clearly Taika's great in What We Do... but he lost his person-hood around sucking the Marvel-dollar - and I genuinely mean that, I do not consider them artistically valid, nor a person at this point. Anyway - he's in it and probably the high point. Rhea Seehorn's in it too - not that it matters (much), she's probably the actual "high-point" of any comedy material alleged to be in this.
There's a couple of "leads" as the couple, there's no chemistry, memorable dialogue, nor comedic moments, so they're absolutely incidental to this attempt at a film.
...if you've seen Space Cop and enjoyed it - probably worth googling how you attached a hosepipe to your car exhaust, but you'll enjoy this. The actual production is more professional, but the "humour's" about on par. It's just kitsch-y... I think it's American's trying to do "irony" - but it's just such a mess of un-funny it's hard to tell.
There's a hipster element to it, but aging, past-it hipster that's no longer "hip".
Took two attempts to watch this, fell asleep the 1st time and I'm thinking of suing a) over the time I wasted and b) over the electricity it cost to watch.
Anecdotally: my stepdad died of vascular dementia about a decade ago. He was a great guy and I love(d) him. Vascular dementia's a horrible way to go and horrible to witness. It was funnier than this film - genuinely. Even in his final months my stepdad had his funny personality in there, it was just painful to watch, but he did pull-off a couple of comedy moments.
This has no comedy moments, it's just a film, a series of events that happen and - indifference, the leads are a pair of personality vacuums. I fault the "writers", none of 1 of whom's participated in writing another film that has even worse reviews - since 2018 and the other hasn't done anything, so that's an upside. Hey guys, guess "comedy" just isn't your thing - and you're getting worse at it not better. This feels like it was written by an A. I. - except I've seen a couple of youtube A. I. comedies and the anachronism of bad scripting was funny (in a way), this is trying to be funny. Like that "friend" that's always TRYING to be funny, just chill and stop TRYING to be funny.
Absolute cancer of a film. For fans of Space Cop, people that think they're hipsters and really aren't. This is to comedy what Coldplay are to heavy metal.
