Critics Consensus

Between Two Ferns: The Movie shows the strain of stretching a series of web shorts to feature length, but should still satisfy fans of the source material.

Glen Weldon

NPR

It's fascinating, and very funny, but it completely punctures the entire conceit. Be warned.

It doesn't revolutionize or reinvigorate the web series, so much as it draws on nostalgia from when the idea still seemed fresh.

Rated: C+

[T]here are enough big laughs packed into this scattershot adventure - structured around Zach Galifianakis' painfully awkward celebrity sit-downs - to warrant a viewing.

Rated: B-

Reel Film Reviews

It becomes clear fairly early on that Between Two Ferns: The Movie is at its best in sequences revolving around Galifianakis’ awkward and antagonistic confrontations with various celebrities...

Rated: 2/4

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Fans of the original web series as well as fans of comedy mockumentaries, such as The Office and Parks and Recreation, will enjoy Between Two Ferns: The Movie.

Rated: 7/10

Ready Steady Cut

After watching Between Two Ferns: The Movie, it’s nothing more than an overblown SNL sketch that even at a sparse 82 minutes is stretched beyond its limits.

Rated: 2/5

A typically hilarious lead performance from Zach Galifianakis anchors this fun satire of celebrities and daytime television

Maybe it's not a great script but as an extended version of the SNL skit I loved it. I laughed throughout, and that's all I was looking for from a film like this.

Classic CBB vibe. Need Slob Stalkerman to make more films.

Hilarious in a British comedy sort of way. If you need a laugh track to know when a joke happens, this is not for you. When the movie is funny it is hilarious. Admittedly, there are moments when the movie begins to take itself too seriously. At these times, the lunacy fades; for the real reason you are watching this is for the bizzarro reality that is created from the interviews. The back story adds a sugar glaze to the donut that is best taken in minimally. A must watch at it short length.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Ironically the amateurish concept becomes a self-fllfilling prophecy. The film is horribly unfunny.
