Only Okay
I was expecting this to be so much better than it was.
It was okay. Nothing more.
Needed to be a lot funnier.

It actually would have been better if it had been a bit less funny. The silly Hitler character was annoying, not to mention too young.
shareIt needed to pick a tone. Funny or serious.
It tried both and it didn't really work.
I agree that should've been less funny. It's a film that makes fun of Nazis and Nazism but other than the gestapo, there are pretty much no bad Nazis in the film. I think that having every Nazi be funny in some way clashed with the tone and ended up muddying up the film's presentation.

Pretty much this. Trailer blew me away, finally saw it...meh...very underwhelmed.
I liked the scene where he literally stumbles over his mother's body and the shoe lace thing was heartbreaking and clever... but that was about it. Everything else was so over the top it just didn't work at all for me... and I love over the top stuff like Hot Shots or Naked Gun, so that's not the issue here.
Right, it was over the top like those movies but not hilarious like those movies. An uncanny valley, bad combination.
