Moviegoers are saying

This comedy phenomenon has audiences declaring it a 'genuine miracle' and 'masterpiece' that demands immediate theatrical viewing, with reviewers asking 'how did they do that?' at least 50 times while howling at clever gags referencing The Hangover and 2008 nostalgia. Despite universal 5/10 ratings, the passionate enthusiasm suggests a cult classic in the making that hits different for those who lived through its era.

Comedy masterpiece. There’s a gag related to THE HANGOVER that might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

On one hand I worry about overhyping this movie. On the other hand I think it’s a genuine miracle and feel a moral obligation to do everything in my power to get anyone and everyone I can to see this thing in theaters ASAP.

Johnson is nothing if not a punchy ringmaster of deadpan humor and his grab-bag mindset generates enough goodwill to appreciate the DIY brashness of it all. I’m one of those who had no clue of this act’s history and I’m fairly certain I’d look forward to Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie the Sequel.

No matter the out-of-this-world nature of their adventure, they remain an amusing and endearingly down-to-Earth doofus duo.
