Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy contra el reverendo

Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) is getting married to Prince Frederick (Daniel Radcliffe). She finds a book in her backpack which leads her to suspect that the Reverend (Jon Hamm) has another girl held captive. She sets off to visit him in prison accompanied by best friend Titus (Tituss Burgess).

The show continues. The gang is back. It's the same wackiness but more of it. It does the choose your own adventure concept. I used to read those books and I always checked every possible outcome. It's the completist in me. This is a movie for the fans and fans will like this. The show continues.

As the title says what is the point of having multiple choices if you don't actually have that much influence story anyway? You might just as well have shown me a movie without the whole dragging of the story by choosing the "wrong" things. It tried, for me personally it failed. Maybe I didn't try enough choices to actually enjoy it, but after finishing it I didn't really feel like trying again.

Ok, listen up I don't really like choose your own adventures. Bandersnatch wasn't what it cracked up to be but gotta say this new Kimmy movie is so damn funny!! Every choice we take, good or bad, is HILARIOUS and good thing is we don't really have to repeat stuff again and again! It's done right!

Glad to see the core four back! I love all of them but gotta give a shoutout to Jane Krakowski because I love her so much! The guest actors are pretty funny too!

Story wise, it actually adds to the main series so that's great.

GO ON HAVE FUN NOW!!!!

I enjoyed the series and this interactive special in some ways works as a season 5 (since season 4 only came out about a year ago). The series had a mostly satisfying conclusion so having another story only a year later is a bit strange.

The interactive aspect of the special was very interesting. It did make watching somewhat stressful since the character's lives were in my hands. As I completed the special, there were several things left unresolved due to the choices I made. However, as I started to rewatch and make different choices, I felt that there would be no happy ending for all of the characters like the original series had.

As with the original series, the special is quite dark and some of the "jokes" take things a few steps (or leaps) too far.

I enjoyed seeing all of the characters again and there were several lines that were absolutely hilarious.

Now the rating...should I rate give it a 5? 1? 10? I'll choose 7.

This follow-up special to the comedy The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is one of those interactive programs that have been popping up on Netflix. This was a pretty fun experience.

First off, like the original show there are a ton of very funny lines. Also like the show, I felt there were a fair amount of types of jokes that the writers were more into than the audience is. (All the bits about Titus (Tituss Burgess) being lazy get old).

Though not the first to interactive stories, this special has it's own spin. Given Kimmy's emotionally stunted nature, this special specifically pays homage to the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure stories. Now, the amount of basic storylines you can go through only goes so far. (Unless you're a completionist, you'll probably go through 1-3 viewings.) However, the writers seem to realize this. The same scenes can alter in lines or be extended based on choices. The viewer is even rewarded for choosing the same options twice. Also like CYOA, there are dead ends that are often some of the cleverest bits and provide some fun moments of the characters talking directly to the audience.

The cast remains strong. The special manages to include all the regularly recurring characters. Ellie Kemper continues to do an excellent job as Kimmy. She has such range being able to switch from childish to serious perfectly. Jon Hamm returns as the evil Richard Wayne Gary Wayne and continues to kill it. I feel guilty liking the performance, because the character has done such terrible, deplorable things but almost every line of his is gold. Daniel Radcliffe appears in this as Kimmy's fiance, and having a great sense of comedy he fits in perfectly. He works really well off of Kemper. (Although, I felt Radcliffe was a subject of too many obvious, broad British jokes.)

The special looks great, continuing the show's brightly colored and lit aesthetic.

Overall, I recommend this. However, if you're one of those people who may have felt the show dropped in quality after season 1, be forewarned that this does feel like that part of the show.
