Bark Multiverse: I realized the whole world could collapse in chaos and disaster and here's me, one of the richest people on the planet, in a position to actually do something about it. As soon as she finished speaking, I hit the phone, got my people to buy a mountain in New Zealand, had it hollowed out, and here we are. In my survival bunker.
Director: Don't people call you selfish?
Bark Multiverse: I don't know. It's soundproof.

fall off the couch funny --- home run

Netflix's new 'play something' algorithm put me on to this and I probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise. I laughed so hard the back of my head hurt. It was like watching a really good edition of SNL's 'Weekend Update' only difference being it's an hour long. Look, it's definitely for an 'Anglo' audience; for Christ's sake Hugh Grant and Tracey Ullman headline. The criticisms leveled in the reviews here are from people who were never going to like it anyway and at times the humor comes at you so fast it is like watching Mel Brooks' 'Blazing Saddles'. The writing is comedy at its very best BY ANYONE'S standard, sometimes in your face and at other times subtle and NO ONE is spared. Others here also panned the 'Borat' movie, tell me that wasn't funny. It is so hard to sift through so much 'content' to find something worth watching , this one goes well beyond one's expectations for a good laugh. The bad reviews, as usual , are from people who don't come at this with an honest open frame of mind, if you like the movie you'll know who they are. This movie is solid eight stars, period.
