It works as a "legend" made stand-up routine, but does it work as a fully-fledged movie, featuring the shirtless wonder that gave it its name? Short answer: on paper it probably did, and someone financed it. In reality: nope, when you see itIt works as a "legend" made stand-up routine, but does it work as a fully-fledged movie, featuring the shirtless wonder that gave it its name? Short answer: on paper it probably did, and someone financed it. In reality: nope, when you see it in front of you with the embellisments added to make it more "movie-like".

And the same happens when you re-watch the legendary original special stand-up routine of the same name. It just is not as good, as if you have Bert as a buddy and you're standing next to him re-telling it for the umpteenth time to a new crowd.

I get that the low-brow crowd (which I count myself a part of since I do like his stand-up mostly) wants to like the movie no matter what, but if you sober up you'll see the big headache your punch-drunk stupid night out has evolved to.

Absolute garbage. Bad acting, bad directing, bad writing. The only ppl who are pretending to like this dumpster fire are die hard Bert fans (mostly overweight drunks), and they are lying to you.
Save your money.

Lots of his fans fawning over it but here's the truth about the movie: we were expecting Borat and got Ishtar. The technical aspects of the movie are okay, but the acting is rough and the writing/story is clumsy. The emotional tone reallyLots of his fans fawning over it but here's the truth about the movie: we were expecting Borat and got Ishtar. The technical aspects of the movie are okay, but the acting is rough and the writing/story is clumsy. The emotional tone really seemed forced and fake, which is critical for a comedy, just ask Steve Martin and Adam Sandler. The jokes were flat, apart from some throw away lines, and the funniest parts were in the trailer. Bert is great at standup comedy and self promotion, not making movies, sadly. Its hubris. He's relying on all the people that fill auditoriums for him to fill theaters as well. The difference is that his standup performances are vetted and edited over hundreds of performances in front of live audiences. This movie felt like a first draft. I hope this doesn't scare studios off from backing comedian made movies from now on, and I hope other comedians are taking notes on how to promote a film, just not how to make one. Expand

Just here to add onto the hate of this dogsh***t boomer comedy about outdated stereotypes. I don't who this obese clown Bert is, but I am really scratching my head at how someone so obnoxious became famous or is even considered funny.

Where to start? The run time 50% of this movie could have cut out - I had one lite chuckle - the trailer contains most of the best parts of the movie worth watching.

The run time 50% of this movie could have cut out - I had one lite chuckle - the trailer contains most of the best parts of the movie worth watching. Bert is a terrible actor the rest of the cast sucks. I feel bad for Mark he should have walked to save himself and from listening to Bert he wanted to do just that but stayed. It's a dumb story with a bad actor as the star. I really wanted it to be funny. Expand

Much like Bert Kreischer this movie is terribly not funny. Avoid at all cost.

An inconspicuous film with bland humor and redicule. Wasted time. The performances here feel very superficial. What's more, I don't even know why I saw this. God!

Just watched this at the $2 theater and asked for my money back, as a passing fan of Bert I figured I’d give it a shot, terrible decision. The acting is terrible and not in a nod and wink kinda way, they were trying and this is the best theyJust watched this at the $2 theater and asked for my money back, as a passing fan of Bert I figured I’d give it a shot, terrible decision. The acting is terrible and not in a nod and wink kinda way, they were trying and this is the best they could do. I enjoyed seeing Hamill and a couple of jokes did land, that’s what keeps me from giving this a 0 or 1. All in all, avoid this unless it’s free on a streaming service you already have, and even if it’s free on streaming consider literally everything else before this. Tl;dr version Avoid this and just watch the bit is was born from on YouTube. Expand
