What Is Art

Kid Cactus is the comedy troupe for the Millennial generation the way Monty Python was for the Boomers. 'What is Art' is a compilation of comedy sketches by a funny and talented group of artists and I was blown away by their creativity. The sketches themselves are a mix of both absurdist humor and more traditional observational comedy. There are some truly laugh-out-loud moments, and the film never feels like it's dragging. It's funny, clever, and self-aware. If you're a fan of sketch comedy, then you'll definitely want to check this film out. If you are easily offended don't bother, but I can not wait until the next production!

I didn't know what to expect from this movie, but BOY was I pleasantly surprised! I'm a big fan of Tim and Eric and I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, and the sketches in this movie are all just as bizarre, surreal, and laugh-out-loud funny as any of my favorite sketches in either of those shows. Something that usually bums me out about sketch comedy movies is that if even one sketch or premise is off, it brings down the whole movie, but What is Art manages to serve up constant laughs, original, funny premises, and noteworthy performances that all kept me invested throughout the whole film. I'm excited to see what these filmmakers come up with next!

I was eating a very soft, creamy cheese kind of like mascapone but it was something I got at the farmers market and I can't remember the name. But I had a mouth full of it and boy it hurt when I laughed so hard it came out my nose. This is one of the most inspired, hilarious sketch comedy shows I've ever seen. Every sketch is wildly different but they're tied together with a common thread of pushing it to the absolute limit. They take huge swings and hit a ton of homers. Check this out if you want something fresh. Check it out if you like dumb ideas executed in hilarous and original ways. Check it out if you like an ensemble cast of diverse actors risking it all and slamming dunks.

This was such a fun ride! I was cackling the whole way through, except when I was going "Oooooooo" at the crazy, hypnotic animation or falling silent as I contemplated life's biggest questions. Loved all the physical comedy bits especially and how unhinged the sketches got. I will be thinking about The Mattchelor for a long time and reflecting on how truly so many people in our society are named Matt. If you watch this movie, you WILL feel stoned and that WILL feel good and okay. Some very weird minds behind this project. It's really just inspiring to see people in their element pushing the boundaries of their art, and it made me want to do more of that! Recommend!

If Al Gore was still with us (or is he still with us? Either way) he should do a documentary on this movie because people have to know the truth - that Kid Cactus is amazing. I've never heard of these guys but What is Art is clearly a masterpiece. I've never seen sketch comedy like this before. It has hints of I Think You Should Leave and Tim & Eric, but it's also so different at the same time. I can't get enough and have already watched it twice. The rewatch value is superb.

I can't wait to see what Kid Cactus does in the future. I will definitely watch anything they make. If you're looking for a quick, hilarious, jaw dropingly surprising comedy, watch this film WHAT IS ART!
