Critics Consensus

Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie is on a gleeful quest to repulse audiences, but sometimes less is more with this sketchy duo.

I'm torn on this. There are some absolutely hilarious moments that made me belly laugh, so on that level it worked but many jokes are so weird that they fall flat and it's sometimes a slog getting to the nuggets. There are some entertaining cameos from SNL luminaries, John C Reilly and Will Ferrell especially provide some stand out moments. It's defiantly weird (maybe too weird to attain more than a cult following), gross out daftness certainly won't be to everyones taste but it's worth a watch to see what you think of this polarising comedy curio. I'd personally give it a 3.5 but my wife loved it and wanted to give it 4.5 so, a 4 it is then overall.

How are you even supposed to rate something that is supposed to be insanely dumb and stupid? An Adult Swim sketch that should go on absolutely no longer than it already does.

This is what happens when people who are dreadfully dull get told that they are funny by their mates over and over again. Quite possibly the worst disaster I ever sat through.

5.75/10. I'm a pretty big T&E fan - Awesome Show is endlessly quoted in my house, Bedtime Stories should get another season, and few things make me giddier than the YouTube algorithm suggesting a T&E clip I haven't seen before. That said, their attempt at an anti-movie is difficult to sit through - not because of the off-the-wall surrealism that makes the duo's comedy so polarizing, but because it felt underwhelming and honestly kind of boring. It had plenty of funny moments and the most of cameos any T&E would expect are there, but their style of comedy just doesn't translate into longform. An episode of T&E feels like an absurd sprint - stretching it into a full marathon leaves it feeling like a labor. Those familiar with their work might say that's exactly the point; T&E realize the absurdity of them getting the funding for a film and are playing up how bad a decision that was. While I suspect that may be true, it doesn't make the movie any more enjoyable.

Various articles describe Tim and Eric's style as 'avant garde' but we remain unconvinced.

The laughs dry up even as the gross-out material grows more, uh, fluid.

Stuff like Dobis is right up the alley you’re used to. However, the transition to R-rated material and a feature-length format isn’t quite as seamless as you’d hope. John C. Reilly is hilarious as you’d think, though.

Washington Examiner

Most of the Saturday Night Live-inspired movies proved that a joke that's funny in a five-minute sketch often isn't when it's stretched out to 90 minutes. Tim and Eric doesn't suffer from that problem.

Rated: 3/4

More-or-less abhorrent swill; vapid, painful and moronic in the way it treats its audience.
