It's difficult to rate this movie because, while it is as funny for its full running time as any of the 'Between Two Ferns' internet skits are for their few minutes, it's still essentially more like one long skit than it is like a movie. TheyIt's difficult to rate this movie because, while it is as funny for its full running time as any of the 'Between Two Ferns' internet skits are for their few minutes, it's still essentially more like one long skit than it is like a movie. They do go on the road to interview celebrities and run into various snags, but it only feigns the depth of a full blown movie, with certain key turning points, while its heart is really in its gags. If you go in knowing what to expect you will be entertained. Think, The Office, where Galfinakis is the Michael Scott character.… Expand

Overall I was pleasantly surprised with Between Two Ferns: The Movie. I was a big fan of the original videos when they came back out several years ago, but had little faith in it as a movie. The celebrity interviews are a mixed bag. While Galifianakis's character gets in some very funny barbs the interview's heavily, if not entirely, scripted feel doesn't shock due to contemporary shows like The Eric Andre Show or Who Is America. Both of which elicit a mostly genuine responses from the guests. Between Two Ferns: The Movie manages to rectify the so-so quality of the interviews by virtue of the supporting cast and Galifianakis's zany and often amusing interactions between the side characters. Other than when Will Ferrell's character was on screen, it felt like he was sucking the comedy out of the room, the sub plot of the movie tended to amuse. While not every joke landed enough did and the charisma of the supporting cast and the Galifianakis (or lack there of for him) more than made up for some of these sections clunkiness. Overall Between Two Ferns: The Movie was solidly amusing and much better than I had expected from a Full length Between Two Ferns feature. I'd recommend it to anyone with Netflix needing a light chuckle especially if they're ready to feel the nostalgia when the Between Two Ferns theme plays.… Expand

I was honestly suprised how from so rude show movie became one of the sweetest comedy in years.

Enjoyable for the most part, even if pretty forgettable when all's said and done. The myriad cameos are the highlight, with Zach's interviews never failing to provoke genuine comedy. The patchwork story surrounding the interviews is boringEnjoyable for the most part, even if pretty forgettable when all's said and done. The myriad cameos are the highlight, with Zach's interviews never failing to provoke genuine comedy. The patchwork story surrounding the interviews is boring and predictable however, even with the wonderful Lauren Lapkus giving it her all in a supporting role. Even with its shortcomings, its still one of the funniest movies released in 2019, and an easy recommendation.… Expand

The plot is a throwaway, and that's fine. Those involved know it and treat it with the levity in needs, working in quirky, offbeat humor throughout.

The real gems are the interviews, and they come frequently enough, though a few feel too brief. Stay for the credits gag reel to see some of the funniest jokes that were necessarily cut, as no one could keep a straight face (and viewer laughter would make it difficult to follow the entire interview).… Expand

It's extremely uncomfortable until the blooper reel at the end. That makes the movie.

Fun movie with plenty of laughs. Celebs making fun of themselves is refreshing.

Very fun film. It's funny that people here are criticizing the plot when it's super obvious the plot was intended to be absurdly silly and contrived; it's just a goofy comedy, with mostly improvised dialog.… Expand

This movie is really good. It’s a simple laugh filled movie that knows what it is and the audience it is appalling to.

Its interesting to see the expansion of the character Zac plays in the web series with the talented supporting cast doing a good job with their characters here. Overall the writing is sharp and I got the vibe of watching some sort of british docu-spoof like Alan Patridge and The Office. Its a decent watch although I felt a few more interviews wouldve tilted my score higher....(be warned though some ferns were harmed during the production of this movie).… Expand

A bunch of great laughs. Could be called Avengers: Between Two Ferns, but it didn't hold back at all so I'm good. The plot was all that it needed to be - a delivery service for interview moments. Really enjoyed this one and recommend it to everyone.

Without doubt the best part of this movie are the celebrity interviews and the makers know it. As a fan of the You Tube shorts this movie was always going to satisfy.
