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.

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.

This overly meta farce beats its mildly silly jokes so steadily into the ground that it’s not so much a case of diminishing returns as humor abuse.
