I Liked the jokes very much, but it felt off.
The Pros:
Like I said the comedy is funny, all the interactions between characters
is comedy orientated and you can see that in every single scene.
The actors were somewhat acting over the top which, to me, fitted the mood and story of the movie.
Overall, all human interactions and dialogs were comedy orientated and you could really see there were a lot of funny ideas, it is pretty cool to see a very funny man show us what he does best.
The Cons:
Like I said the comedy is really funny, BUT
It did not feel like a movie, there were a couple of things that felt off.
And in my opinion there were 2 major things causing this;
Environment sound:
The change from having only environment sound or only music or no background sound at all felt clunky.
And at some moments the environment sound did not fit with the scene.
Music:
The timing of the music felt off. It feels awkward when you are laughing after a punchline and 2 sec later music starts, I stopped laughing each time because I expected something to happen and this would happen a lot.
In some scenes the music would suddenly stop or begin to emphasise the spoken or physical comedy at weird timings, It felt clunky.
Maybe it would have helped if the music was thought of as the introduction, applause and laughter within a standup routine, put the music where you would 'expect' those 3 things to occur in the movie and you would probably be on par with the audience laughing and each scene with music would not feel off and clunky.
The jokes are very funny, fantastic ideas, but to me the environment sound and the timing of the music stagnated the flow and feel of the jokes and the movie.
Therefore a rating of 5.
