If you loved the tv show, you will want to see the movie. But don't expect to be taken beyond "more of the same."

But don't expect to be taken beyond "more of the same." What was one of the smarter, more joyful, and creative cable efforts of the last decade remains enjoyable, but unevolved in this "prequel." Many gags are recycled from the series, which is fine, but leaves one mourning what could have been. Unfortunately, the team breaks what didn't need to be fixed. Where is Roberto Gari's wide-eyed claw-handed Guy Blank? The part as written for Dan Hedaya is completely blank and a waste of his talent. Missing is any chemistry between Jerri and Derrick (much more engagingly played by Larc Spies in the series) and Jerri-Megawatt-y relationship doesn't work as well as Jerri-Orlando. While the series felt kind of loosely edited, it was chock full of moments to be discovered in mutliple viewings. The movie elicited laughs from the audience, but those laughs were further apart and more forced than I have scene from the tv series. Overall, a disappointment, but fans of Sedaris will always want more.… Expand

I was a huge fan of the show but this movie was a real letdown. All the good laughs were in the 1st 10 minutes and a lot of the jokes were retreads from the show. Amy Sedaris is still fabulous but this was not her crowning moment.

It's true, this movie is boring. I love watching Amy Sedaris and her little tics, but that doesn't justify this movie. Great cameos, but again, doesn't help. A story would help. Funny-ish at times, but mostly a chore to watch. It's true, this movie is boring. I love watching Amy Sedaris and her little tics, but that doesn't justify this movie.
