Audience Member "Teddy Bear's Picnic" is an acquired taste. Of that, there can be no doubt. Harry Shearer injects a subtle sense of mayhem in this clever comedy that pokes fun of people who we have entrusted to run the world around us. From politicians to corporate power brokers, we either tolerate or trust them to "do the right thing." When they get together, we suspect the sort of collusion that conspiracy theorists thrive on. Instead, what we get are a bunch of spoiled power-mongers, taking too much advantage of their status in society, and the results are hilarious. Yes, this is Harry Shearer doing what he does best - a biting satire of a small portion of our society. He has put together an eclectic cast of characters that you won't see assembled in any other movie - worth it for that alone! If you don't appreciate subtle, borderline intellectual humor - you won't like this. The best jokes will be lost on you. But if you are the type of person who laughed at Dennis Miller's references on Monday Night Football, you should love this. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Dear God, what on earth happened? How could this much talent make such a horrendous film? It is totally not funny, stupid and ridiculous and insulting. A complete waste in all senses of the word. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Harry Shearer's directoral debut, an ambitious sendup of a Bohemian Grove resort which ultimately ODs on too many satirical targets without a strong enough POV. I'd like to see what Harry does next, though. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Starring Morgan Fairchild?.. what gives her top billing she's only in it for 3 minutes! Well, I am surprised I hadn't heard of this.. I noticed it sitting on the shelf at work and decided to see if it was any good.. Now, I'm really into the other films that Harry Sheerer made with Christopher Guest, so.. it was a fairly safe bet I'd at least get a laugh.. it delivered. I'm going to run more and talk to myself less.. I loved that line.. (it's not the best in the movie, but for some reason it stuck out) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Dear God, what on earth happened?
