Review of Between Two Ferns: The Movie (2019) by Moonman1994 — 24 Sep 2019

Overall score: 6.5/10. 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.
