The movie itself was pretty funny for the most part. I would also agree that it was a little slow at times too. Burt performing on-stage is truly authentic and amazingly funny. For a 1st time actor, I thought he did really well. Some have rated this movie with low scores forgetting that this is a stand-up comedian acting in a major motion picture about his life and never experiencing the acting role before. If you hated this movie and decided to post negative remarks and ratings, I cannot relate. I have read some of these negative reviews and it is clear that some people believe that they themselves are Siskle & Ebert themselves. The movie is funny, was it the best comedy I have ever seen NO. But to bash a movie just because it wasn't your cup of tea is an insult to reviews as a whole. When I dislike something, I simply choose to remember the morales my mother and father taught me as a young child. I keep my opinions and negative thoughts to myself. Go see the movie, it's pretty funny.

Good also Funny, But Not Amazing
If you're a fan of Bert, you'll probably like it.
If you're like me, you'll find this insufferable. It's incredibly unfunny. I don't think I even cracked a smile once during the duration. I mean I'll be honest with you tho. I never found this whole Machine story funny to begin with. I always thought Bert Kreischer was a try-hard. So when I saw they were making a damn movie about this stupid story, it was a big eyeroll for me.
I mean there's plenty here that's bad. The acting, the "comedy," even the cinematography is generic at best. The fact that Mark Hamill is in this, tells you all you need to know lol. That dude was good in like 2 things and that was like 30 years ago lol.
Lastly I just gotta do like I always do and point out the 10/10 ratings. Y'all are crazy as hell. PERFECT movie. Quit rating this on your feelings. Learn to view things objectively. If I scored this on how I felt it would be 0. But I'm giving it a 2 because it does have some minor redeemable qualities.
Hard watch
This movie idek how to describe it
Mid life crisis meets unfunny comedy, as much as he's funny irl this just was not it.
It started alright with the therapist scenes , him talking with his family
But when he went to Russia that's where it lost me I kept thinking it couldn't get much worse was so wrong... his facial expressions were super annoying and the jokes were so very BAD !!! The end was probably the worst part, with that fight scene because it seems like in this movie they actually were trying to be serious
I describe it as a mid life crisis because the whole movie is reminiscing and lame jokes from the past.
