Thats all i really have to say.
it just bugs me when good movies dont even credit the lead actors.
You can't really go wrong with this movie if you like Jemaine Clement. I like everything he's ever been in and after watching Humor Me it remains the same. He lost his kiwi accent for this movie though, don't know why he did that, don't really get it either. If you're from New-Zealand you have an accent and that makes your charm. That said he should just speak like he always does. Humor Me is full of subtle jokes, Jemaine Clement's facial expressions, it all brought a smile on my face for the entire movie, what else could I ask for when watching a comedy? Easy and entertaining story, good acting, a recipe for a good evening of cinema.
Nice story about a man who needs to better himself after having just generally given up on life. Nothing too serious or monumental, but certainly solid and heartfelt, if a little mushy and contrived at times.
The message of the film is a pretty decent on the whole, saying that you have to actually try, while not taking yourself too seriously, and then whatever you do will be better for it. It doesn't promise the world, only a nicer place in it. It's a little sickly sweet, but it makes sense.
Overall I would recommend this movie, it's nothing revolutionary but it is fun and pleasant, while also not really being too offensive. Generally appropriate for young and old, as long as they don't take themselves too seriously.

Not a movie that many would enjoy. But I think it's a brilliant movie about life, family, grieving and rebirth. I loved every second of it, because it's soooo good and really relatable. I am amazed that it did not win any major awards...
I don't get how this movie gets so low on rating. It's a light movie comedy to watch. The story was on point, with a little bit of sad back story. How Jermaine over come the loss of his mother, disappointment in his father, thinking he took it too light. And accepted it all at the end. Sure, I was surprised by the accent, but Jermaine actually did well in the role. I feel like movie was around 8.5/10 def better than a lot of movies out there now days. Was a good one to just turn on and relax and not needing to use a lot of brain cell. Entertaiment sometimes is like this movie. That you don't need to work super hard to get a laugh out of people.
