Lacking content, beauty and brilliance. Characters are dull and unconvincing except for the Jewish girl who acted to her heights. It’s difficult to connect to them. It’s not funny. It’s not original.

It’s difficult to connect to them. It’s not funny. It’s not original. It’s not exploring. Any comparisons to Begnini or Chaplin are offensive. The latter two are masterpieces. I would suggest Mr. Waititi to focus on Hunt for the Wilderpeople type of movies. For anyone who wants to make satires on Nazism and Holocaust I beg: do the research, explore the subject, get your facts. Otherwise you will violate the memory of their victims.… Expand

An offensive mess. Truly awful. One of the most vile movies I’ve seen. The creators should be ashamed.

Amazingly poor humor and a failed attempt to play with your emotions. Waititi tried to make another "Life is beautiful" but created a major failure.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wish Hollywood would stop making these movies and I definitely I'm going to try to avoid seeing them. I got pulled into this one and I wish I hadn't. Enough already… Expand

The trailer for the film could not be more misleading. It represents the film as a bright, brilliant, laugh-a-minute, over-the-top, farce-like extravaganza. It's not. It drags. Oh, does it drag. It virtually stops dead in its tracks. ScenesThe trailer for the film could not be more misleading.

Scenes that should be 2-3 minutes go on and on. Characters and situations that are funny are few and far between. My problem, unlike other reviewers here, is not with the subject matter. Sure it's not everyone's cup of tea. But whether or not you feel the subject is film-worthy, this is a dead film. As was the audience at my screening.… Expand

It did not even work as an illustration of the senselessness of war, the despicableness of anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry, or the horror of socialist totalitarianism.

I drove 40 minutes to see it because some critics seemed to believe it was Oscar-worthy. I could not disagree more.… Expand

It is supposed to be funny. But it is about as witty as a lame side SNL sketch...stretched over almost two hours!

Instead, the result is jarring. It took me 15 minutes to realise that this was actually set in (an absurdist version of) Nazi Germany, rather than in a modern-day English speaking country. I first thought that we were seeing a small community of neo-nazis, portrayed as pathetic by showing how they put on fake German accents (that seem to switch on and off during the movie) and go to a Nazi-themed summer camp. I struggled the whole movie with that frame, not helped by the fact that while I love absurd humor I could find nothing to appreciate beyond 'haha Nazi's but ridiculous'. Just being irreverent towards Hitler and the Nazi's is not shocking or original enough anymore to carry a joke on its own. The components of the movie itself are decent in principle and when I read about the movie beforehand it felt promising (absurd setting centered on Nazis; irreverent coming of age story of fanatical boy realising that those he has learned to hate are also human; the idiotic behaviour extremism can lead people to do), but do not work together, at least not in this movie. The movie seems to pretend it is edgy or breaks new ground with all these elements, but it is not: all of it has been done, and much better. Meanwhile, genocide is reduced to how some movies treat the misogynist uncle: we know it's kindoff bad, but isn't he just a loveable package? Most Nazis don't really mean it anyway. And while this can be the case for many characters in a Nazi movie, the movie makes no attempt to reflect on why they do such terrible things then or how the system still produces such results (or what these results are anyway - it shows and tells about some attrocities that we as an audience are supposed to take as an indication that bad things do happen, but they are so out of proportion with reality that it seems to trivialise that reality).

For all the pretense in what is written about this movie elsewhere, don't waste your time watching it. The humour fails and there is only a veneer of a message or critical take that falls apart at first scrutiny.… Expand

It was written by that what a **** bloke. He is the one in a yellow hat and boots that makes everyone say what the f has he come as. This film is everything that you would expect.

For a comedy movie, I barely laughed.

I'm reminded of that Will Ferrell movie Land of the Lost, where all the funny moments were in the 2 minute long trailer. Just watch that and you'll be fine.

My wife got me to go by saying to me "Well, you liked 'The Producers'." As I told her when we left the theater: The Mel Brooks film was absurd all the way through. For example, Mel never slipped into moments of seriousness when you actually felt sorry for the fraud that was perpetrated on those little old ladies (which, in real life, is not funny at all). In "Jo Jo", we're whipsawed back and forth between absurdist and quasi-realistic viewpoints. That just didn't work for me, even though several of the performances were quite good.… Expand
