Jay S I watched it for the first time in July 2025 and laughed myself silly throughout. It is a brilliant movie not too dissimilar to the irreverence of a Monty Python "Life of Brian". Perhaps only Australian and Canadians could see humour in Jack Black's unrelenting comedy. Americans would be way too serious, many weighed down by the dull overreach of their fascist theocratic principles. Despite being written and filmed before Trump's time in power, the ending is enigmatic commentary on the problem with having Kings ruling over people, rather than a democratic government. But the film is not essentially about such a message. It's about taking the biblical stories and shining a bright spotlight of bawdy, energetic clever humour and tearing down those sacred cows. And that is the proper role for a comic genius. The acting is first class. Characters are memorable. Bravo! Sorry, but if you didn't get this movie , then you may be the problem that the world is facing today. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Cinder C I think it’s a fun watch. It’s one I’ve seen several times and continue to enjoy. I feel like the rating here is too harsh. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why, it gets funnier everytime i watch it. The first time i watched it, i thought i was pretty bad. Now i actually really like it. Maybe i am getting older and shallow ;-) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review James E Not the best or even very good. Just a lot of actors that can do way better than this. Funny enough for a one time watch out of sheer curiosity. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Gogol B Most underrated comedy in rotten tomatoes, but not like getting 24 when deserving a 45, but an 86 or more... Strong personalities for most characters and very good acting. Yeah Jack Black's goofy scenes are perfectly matched by Michael Cera's hopeless sarcasm and Jack's little dance at the entryway to the party is insanely funny like Oliver Platt's "seduction games" with Cera. Straight to my top 10 comedy list.
