Movie 43 (2013)

Featuring some of the biggest talents in our industry today, and directed by the Farrelly Brothers, Movie 43 is a sketch comedy composed of many different segments. In the vein of The Kentucky Fried movie and The Onion Movie.

As with all movies of this type, some of the sketches are hit and miss and with others the joke runs on a bit too long. I applaud the effort but it's a different time and the charm of those movies is hard to replicate. That first scene though? Genius. Unfortunately, it gave me high expectations for the rest of the film which weren't met.

Movie 43 is about six or seven sketches including the one that introduces and ends the film. Overall, I expected it to be a little longer and a little funnier for what it was, but I'd say it's score averages out to 2.5 but the first scene + my generosity allows me to round up to 3.
