On the Count of Three

Hilarious, genuine, relatable, nihilistic, emotional, and surprising.

A well executed and well-paced dark comedy starring and directed by Jerrod Carmichael for his debut. The performances and chemistry between him and Christopher Abbott were undeniable and authentic to the point were they really seemed like childhood friends. For such a dark subject matter, the entire theater audience and myself were laughing the entire time but be warned there is some heavy stuff joked about here.

It's a solid debut.

A role made for Christopher Abbott, I love seeing him in films of this genre, it's totally fitting his look/behaviour.... it almost feels like he's not even acting, it's very genuine.

Looking forward to watching the director's next one!

Solidly directed, splendidly acted, and wholly hilarious and witty while never losing its sharp edge of dark profound observations on life, loss, and purpose.

I was surprised how the script manages to handle so many subplots and themes with grace and care, with none of them ever overshadowing the others.

The characters are all monumentally flawed, saying and doing things that I certainly didn't agree with, but that's what made for such a satisfying human experience.

Tiffany Haddish is in the movie for less than 5 minutes and she manages to portray what is arguably her best character on screen. That alone makes this movie worth checking out.

With the cast for this movie, I was expecting more comedy than drama. I was surprised that I got the opposite. This movie touches on mental health, society as a whole, the challenges in life, trauma, friendship and more. This film is gripping and you really beignets invested in both characters. The film was the perfect length too. Worths. Watch.

On the Count of three is a funny and dark new film by Jerrod Carmichael who stars along side Christopher Abbott. There two performances make this one of the best movies of 2022. Both these guys are emotional, layered, funny, and even a little scary and make the movie a great experience for fans of acting.

Supporting roles from Henry Winkler, Tiffany Hadish, JB Smoove, and Huel while small, are all played with tip top perfection. This film goes from laugh out loud hilarious to jaw dropping sadness with ease, and not many films can do that.

Check this one out, if you wanna watch something new.
