What was funny about this movie?


I have a chance to see this movie in the theater. Lots of comments are saying it's funny, but I didn't see anything funny in the trailer, except maybe the bit with the models changing expressions. And it wasn't even that well done, either. Is it basically schadenfreude, the "humour" of watching these rich and privileged people go down with the ship and get barfed on? Cuz if so, I'll give it a pass - lol

What do you want here, someone to spoil the movie before you see it?

reply

Sure, that would've been nice. I don't care about plot, so it wouldn't spoil for me. Different strokes.

It's a dark absurdist comedy, with lots of political humor, not as basic as watching bad things happen to rich people. I didn't love it, but there were definitely parts I laughed at.

Well, the film fest is long gone, now, but thanks for the insight.

Ha, something tells me it won’t be your only chance.

There were definitely some great bits. Woody and the Russian quoting at each other while chaos ensued for instance.

Overall it was disappointing.
