This ain't your average show about a young man's battle with self-loathing. It's that with the absurdist twist of a Farrelley Brother's comedy. This time a dark comedy in particular. So, it's a blend of things real, things elevated to a level of the absurd (so maybe not as real), and a down-there warm and fuzzy heartbeat.
I think it works. I think Dave Franco is more than good. If he's guilty of some overacting it is in service of that already mentioned absurdist element that, frankly, makes all of The Farrelley Brother's films what they are.
Sure, it won't please many folks, but it will likely please many others as well. Not Unlike their iconic comedic masterpiece "There's Something About Mary". I'm not insinuating this is on that level, just saying it was polarizing and became a classic. I recommend this to all fans of The Farrelley Brothers because it is a fresh side that still has many strokes of their brilliance.
