Jokes Don't Land As Well As The Orginal
6 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
It felt like an extended SNL skit. The jokes were ok. The cast has many of your favorite actors, but the jokes were not particularly funny. I do appreciate the revival since the original movie ended on a cliffhanger. I am glad that Mel Brooks was still around to oversee the project. They should have gotten the team that writes jokes for Ryan Reynolds involved to write the material as they are able to weave in modernity with humor. The jokes that were included in this episode were too on the nose to be funny. Also the humor of the 80's doesn't translate well to 2023. I am hoping the later episodes will funnier. It's is worth a watch even if just for the nostalgia.
