Reviews

I'm still teary from the last few minutes of the movie, did not think it would be this emotional.

Kyle Mooney is so incredibly subtle with his acting that if you haven't seen much of his previous work, I'm positive most of the parts I was laughing out loud at, you would probably be wondering what was so funny. He is a fantastic character actor and he really pulls off a new subtle character in James, which is kind of an amalgamation of his most well known characters from his Youtube skit days, perhaps a little more naive than normal.

There wasn't a weak actor in the entire film, but besides Mooney I would give special praise to Mark Hamill, although he only has a few scenes on camera, his presence is felt throughout the entire movie, through his voicing of Brigsby etc. I actually thought Hamill was better used here than in "The Last Jedi"..

I'm not much of a critic, I can't summarise exactly what I loved about the movie very well. I will say though that the movie is superbly bitter sweet, mostly sweet, endearing and charming. And of course, absolutely hilarious, but as above, you may need either repeat viewings or be an already established fan of Mooneys work.

Finally want to mention Dave McCary. Dave and Kyle are the perfect pairing. I absolutely loved their Youtube skits and even that amazing Instagram series they made (it's called the "D and K podcast", look it up). For his first feature length film, there is no way you would be able to tell. The movie is very well directed, I tend to pay attention to how a movie is shot, put together etc, but with this it was always characters first, which I think is a great strength.

This movie is inspirational. I can't wait to see what these guys come up with next.

I couldn't help notice all the bad reviews and felt compelled to right this wrong. I'm guessing the bad reviews have ulterior motives.

This show is funny. Not just a bit funny, but actually funny. If you love shows like Curb your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, etc. then you're going to love this. If however you prefer sitcoms like "big bang theory" then please, leave now.

I rarely laugh out loud at a TV show but this one had me in stitches so many times! Comedy is about the removal of dignity and over the course of the series it's amazing they still find dignity left in the character of Phil Miller to remove. Just when you think he can't go any lower, he does.

Phil Miller is this unsympathetic bastard who just wants to get laid at the end of the world, and yet everything seems to be against him, including himself. In some respects he is well meaning, but he isn't the most well equipped person to survive the end of the world, preferring to use duct tape and string to solve engineering problems, but his heart is usually in the right place. Usually.

Oh, he also considers murdering someone so he can sleep with more women. But he doesn't go through with it, he's just not that guy in the end.

I'm purposely trying to avoid giving too much away here, because I'm assuming whoever is reading this has never seen the show, so do yourself a favor and go watch it now, you will not regret it!
