Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review BRizz 2 🎬 Movie Review: I Used to Be Funny (2023) ⭐ Honest Thoughts. No Sugarcoating. Whenever I watch a film that gets sky-high scores from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, I get intrigued. I check the audience score, I look at the buzz, and I think, “Alright, this must be something special.” But more often than not, especially with movies like I Used to Be Funny, I’m left wondering: Who are these critics really writing for? Let me be real — because that’s what I do. I’m not here to dance around the truth or boost up a movie just because it got praised by some artsy circle. I’m here to judge films fairly, the same way I would if I were picking Oscar winners — and most of the time, let’s be honest, the Academy doesn’t exactly reflect what the public loves. This movie? It was poorly written. The script was overloaded with dialogue — and not in a clever, character-driven way. It was excessive, flat, and lacked rhythm. It felt like anyone could’ve scribbled this out in a notebook over a weekend. There was no tension, no spark, no visual storytelling. Just endless scenes that dragged on with people talking, talking, talking — and saying nothing meaningful. The story had no real hook. No creativity. No emotional core to hold on to. It was supposed to follow this girl’s life, but it never gave us a reason to care about her. Nothing about the structure or pacing felt cinematic — it felt like a rough draft that someone decided to shoot anyway. So, no — I don’t care if critics said this was a masterpiece. It wasn’t. We’ve got to stop pretending that something is brilliant just because it’s “different” or “deep.” Being vague and overly talky isn’t the same as being powerful or profound. 👉 Bottom line: This movie was boring, uneventful, and painfully overwritten. Let’s stop giving out gold stars just to impress other critics. Let’s be honest about what works — and what doesn’t. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Daniel B This has to be the most non humorous movie about a comedienne ever made. The central message seems to be "we're lesbians because men are awful " Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Audience Member Awsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Gabriella S This movie was so underwhelming and boring. Everyone was raving about it so I tried it and the plotline was so boring. I understand the deeper meaning, but it was so dragged out and just spent the entire movie conveying how miserable the main character is without getting to the point. Wouldn't even recommend to my dog. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Leydi P I spent literally 4 days to finish this movie. They tried to give suspense to what happened but It was always too obvious. The only acting I liked was Brooke’s character.
