Such a frustrating disappointment
How sad is this?
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Tim and Eric created a movie true to their style. I was skeptical and frankly a bit scared that Tim and Eric could have the ability to create something as awful as the negative reviews proclaim, I should have known that mainstream opinion should not trusted, however I was more shocked to read negative reviews from Tim and Eric hardcore fans, I simply cannot believe that fans of Tim and Eric did not like this movie, the movie has the exact same chemistry as the episodes, the same style of humour, a lot of the jokes are direct imports from the episodes, so a lot of "inside jokes" that only a fan would understand. The acting was fantastic, the jokes were high caliber, I felt the jokes were very sophisticated, a lot of thinking went into it, I absolutely adored this movie especially because I'm a Tim and Eric fan.My theory why some fans were afraid to love this movie is because they were too embarrassed by others, I wouldn't want to watch this with a non Tim and Eric fan for example, they would ruin my fun for sure, I think too many people are too self-conscious about loving this movie and being judged by others, the sad part is that Tim and Eric themselves seemed self-conscious about the movie in their Q&A session, popular opinion can be so devastating to the ego.
Say whatever you want about Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job and Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie but love them or hate them their comedy is unique and will stick with you. They definitely seem to be a polarizing act!Some people love them, some people hate them, to each their own. Lovers and haters just need to accept each other. If you love this show, accept that other people may not share our sense of humor. If you hate this show, then don't watch it, and accept that we find this kind of comedy funny. Why is that so hard for some people to accept?In the end most fans seem to like the movie while people who don't like their TV show will never like the movie.
This is biggest piece of sh*t to ever grace celluloid. There is not 1 laugh in this entire stinking pile of sh*t. Tim and Eric should kill each other with rat poison. Leaving out the only funny women to ever do stand up, (Amy Schumer and Lisa Lamp's roast material), I've still seen women with better material than this. And that my friends is the biggest insult I could ever make to a comedy. Seriously, you sad, pathetic excuses for comedy writers, go take comedy lessons from Kathy Griffen. It would still be a significant improvement. If I were religious I would pray for the morons that actually liked this. I can only hope they were paid astroturfers from the film studio trying to get somebody to watch this. (If not take the advice I offered to Tim and Eric below.)These guys are retards. Kill yourselves Tim and Eric.
Tim and Eric are back, several years after the demise of their regular program on adult swim, and have somehow found their way to the big screen. With all of the offensive gusto, in-your face silliness, and revolting subject matter they can muster, they manage to stretch their form of ridiculous sketch comedy out into a feature length production with mixed results.By its very nature, Tim and Eric's regular show barely lends itself to a half hour time slot, let alone a full length feature. Thus, the results of their first foray into film is not far removed from other recent, 'short term sketch comedy' experiments on the silver screen, including Macgruber, most of which have been largely unsuccessful. Many of their regular gags are brought in here -- but stretching these gags out merely makes the film seem long and uninspired.For die hard fans of Tim and Eric, however, there are some laugh out loud scenes, such as the unexpected explosion of a few characters toward the end of the film. John C. Reilley also delivers a sufficiently pathetic performance as a sickly mall maintenance worker, and other supporting actors ham it up with funny results.Ultimately, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie is a mixed bag at best. For fans of the show, it should partially please with some of the right elements, but will no doubt fail to satisfy, as many of the gags have been seen already on the show. For non fans, it's best advised that you skip this one, as it will likely confuse and revolt you more than anything.
