It's hard to tell exactly where this movie goes wrong. Maybe it's that the beginning doesn't get you firmly enough on the leads side. Could have used better humor to do that, or maybe some more relatable and less cliched characterization.

Whatever it is, when this movie started leaning into its emotional moments, and you can tell it's trying because of the music and style, it ended up alienating me because I didn't feel what it was trying to make me feel. And that continued right up thru the end of the movie.

I'd say about half the humor landed for me, but that's not always the filmmakers fault.

Most of the characters felt very stereotypical, and felt like they were trying to be brought to life for us, by just a couple extra zany details, instead anything that felt authentic.

What it felt like, Kyle Mooney and Evan Winter forgive me if this wrong, is that money got behind this movie too early, or too quickly, and the script didn't make it past a first draft. Maybe, too, all the comedy was written in, and not improvised in the way that great comedy movies rely on for the real snappy humor that pops. And, I think in Editting they were giving the humor too much of a pause; too much space for what should have been audience laughter, in a way that also alienated me and probably others. And most of the humor was pretty toothless as well, especially when you compare it to the movies it's drawing influence from.

So unfortunately this movie just feels mediocre; lazily trying to be heartfelt; I wish I had felt toward it what the filmmakers clearly thought I'd feel.

Racist and completely biased. All arguments from the other, at least, half the country, are either not told or demonized without logic, to the point of to the point of absurdity, and disgust on my part. Not stop racism, and race baiting. Continuous demonization of rightwingers, and people who believe in liberty of any form, and even simply all white people. Identity politics without shame, or repremand, or even any form of exposure to differing opinions. Even Trevor Noah is a God send compared to this. I hope that whoever greenlit this show, and continues to support it, eventually get their cermupence for giving a voice to this harmful, racist, extremist show. I don't see any hope of coming back to logic and tolerance, for anyone who watches and agrees with what lies are spewed in this trash. God save us all if this the direction we are going.
