My biggest regret is not watching this film with a crowd. But even then, it still managed to be one of my favorite cinematic experiences of this year.
You've read the plot summary, you've maybe seen the trailer, but nothing you could ever hear or read about this film could describe the crazy nature of the experience. Yes, this is a live action morbid rendition of a Looney Tunes cartoon. But it's also a film that fully commits to its tone and visual style, and it pulls them off both flawlessly. Some of the funniest scenes I've seen all year. The compositing, clever editing, blend of practical settings and green screens are done so seamlessly that you start wondering how the filmmakers managed to do all of that with a $150k production budget.
All of the performances are fantastic, Ryland Tews was an absolute joy to watch. There's also a lot of meme references in this film, and they're pulled tastefully in a way that it doesn't detract from the experience (special mention to the song at the start of the credits, they really got me there). The costumes are very funny, fitting, but not as incredible as THE PUPPETS, one of the highlights of the film. The film flies by easily, making the 1 hour and 40 minute runtime feel like 30 minutes. And what contributes to that feeling is the modernized editing, lots of music cuts, microphone peaking, quick transitions, repetitive music cues (in the best of ways). Incredible music, it was used appropriately and for the right amount of times.
What else can I say? Just buy the film and watch it with a crowd. It's the best experience you'll have this year.
