Is This a Joke?

9 commentaires
4/10

Oh come on! I mean, surely?!

Clearly, this is a bunch of people who know each other from being on the stand up circuit of some small town. They, clearly, couldn't say no to any comic on the circuit who got wind of the project and asked if they could be in it. The comedy is in watching them try not to corpse when they think about the punchline before the end of the joke. Make sure you've watched something good already, and that you are drunk, suddenly, and it becomes a 3.5, which I am rounding up to a 4, out of inebriated generosity.

Missed opportunity

This might have worked as a concept, IF

The jokes were funny

The actors were not wooden amateurs

If there was some creative theme to hold it together.

None of those things apply to the movie. There is a smattering of nudity, but nothing actually erotic or exciting. Take a pass.

Worse than Vince Offer's Underground Comedy

Horrible. Don't waste your time. Horrible jokes, bad acting, over use of rim shots and slide whistles; all intermixed with boobs you don't really want to see.

Worse than a Community College film project

I like low budget and no budget films, so I recognized Nikola Fiore's name in the opening credits. I'd seen her in Terror at Bloodfart Lake, which is actually a fun and entertaining film!

This, on the other hand, is not. Lighting is bad in the occasions it's used at all. Audio quality sounds like it's through a cheap camcorder mic and audio levels are totally different between shots. Added sound effect levels are way too loud.

What's with the sets? You can shoot in an actual bar for one joke but then you have to shoot all the other bar jokes in the basement in your house?

I'm not even an amateur filmmaker but I feel like this movie could have been much better had the filmmakers googled "how to light a set" or "how to frame a shot" or even gone through the software tutorial on iMovie.

I'm usually a very positive person and super supportive of independent filmmakers, but this was just awful in every technical aspect.

2 stars because the project got completed and uploaded to Amazon Prime.

Avoid at all costs

If there was a way to give this zero stars, I would.

Sketch comedies work on TV when they have short episodes and the jokes are actually funny. This is painfully neither.

I've made myself sit to the end through some terrible films, but I could not bring myself to finish this. Cardboard acting. Shot-on-VHS-in-our-production-office lighting and staging. Annoying sound effects point out (and sometimes mercifully almost drown out) every single woodenly-delivered punchline.

This has production value somewhere between a powerpoint presentation and a high school Film&TV project. Imagine the opening credits of The Office combined with those of It's Always Sunny, and stretch it out to feature length, and you'd still have a better film idea (and better camerawork) than this.

Avoid at all costs. It may be free on Prime but you will never get these minutes back.

Title sequence says it all

Why did the chicken cross the road? We don't know, but during the opening titles we get to see someone dressed as a chicken cross the road multiple times. Sometimes they fall over for no apparent reason, though unfortunately never in the path of an oncoming car which may have cut short this travesty of a film.

The script was written by some chump that found an old 1970's joke book down the back of a sofa in a seedy motel. The chump then handed the script to a scientist whom, as an experiment, programmed it into their fancy AI. The AI, having no concept of humour, then built a bunch of emotionless robots to serve as the cast and director. I can't think of any other explanation as to why this is so bad.

This is the worst thing I've ever seen on any streaming service

I was browsing Amazon Prime and the illustration caught my attention, so I checked it out. It's so bad it's insulting. I cancelled my subscription as a result of watching 5 minutos of this.

Headline is fitting

Give much props for trying so hard to make this movie worthy of it's title. I will admit that it is most definitely funny, not Benny Hill funny but some very here & there parts will give you a good laugh. Was expecting something completely different but I did watch it all the way thru just to see for myself whether it was all that I heard about. I would definitely tell others to give it a chance and watch it. Everyone has their own opinion and this is absolutely one of them movies that needs to be seen and then given a review. I got MANY laughs and wasn't disappointed at all. Hope others do as well. I give 8 out of 10..

Oh, such an appropriate title

You know, even back in 2011, amateur and independent film makers were able to make some fairly sophisticated movies on minimal budget with cheap cameras and share-ware editing. So, what's this movie's excuse? I was involved with fan films and community-access TV shows back in the 1990s that were way better filmed, acted, and directed than this.

On top of that... Yeah, as a teen, I read tons of bad joke books, including 6 volumes of "Truly Tasteless Jokes." Just about any of them were better and funnier than these.

I'll cut a lot of slack for an independent project, but how the smegging bloody hell did this end up being promoted on Amazon? Did someone's idiot cousin need a SAG card?
