I was lucky enough to attend one of the tour screenings for the movie. I will start by saying I was unfamiliar with the show before (I have seen Matt Johnson's BlackBerry however) and it immediately made me a fan. The movie is a comedy masterpiece. A staggering achievement, truly have no idea how they pulled this off. It reminds me of how Borat still worked even if you had never seen Da Ali G Show. Believe the hype.
Yeah, my local fest had it last night and you are all in for a treat. Plays like the best and biggest episode of the show, I wasn’t ready for the scale of some of the shit they pull off. Whole theater was losing it, hope it becomes a cult hit.
I was debating on traveling to Dallas or Chicago for one but they sold out before I could. I’m honestly really bummed to miss it. I’m excited for the limited release but I worry even that’s gunna skip us.
Looks like there are still tickets for the Dallas show. https://www.prekindle.com/find-tickets/id/-2852852648693807944?4
Oh its a wednesday. I wish there were super late night flights so i didn't have to miss work the next day lol
The movie was so fucking good. Theater was in stitches half of the runtime. You guys aren't ready for one scene. Very happy I got to see this with a packed house full of fans.
I'm checking the one theatre in the place I live and this is not listed for Feb. 13th, but I am holding out hope that we get it. I will probably call closer to the date. I'll be very upset if I can't catch this on the big screen
Unfortunately that is not in the cards for me. I hope you get to see it, and if you have to travel, it's not that far! Going to do a re-watch as it's been a couple years. My girlfriend sort of likes this show and has agreed to watch the movie with me so I'm hoping to finally convert her
This is an appearance Matt did on Pete Holmes' podcast. The conversation they have is really fun and insightful to listen to. It's a couple years old now. Hearing Matt talk about his creative projects is always so interesting; he seems like such an earnest person, and I love Pete too lol so this is an excellent watch for fans of either/both!
