Comedy is tough. It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud at a film. Between Two Ferns: The Movie made me laugh out loud, multiple times.There is no reason for this film to exist other than it acts as a way to string a bunch of episodes of Between Two Ferns together (it's very self aware and we know they know).
If you are not familiar with the comedic genius of Zach Galifianakis, well it's time to get to know him. He plays that awkward guy with beard in The Hangover movie series. He has alone been in It's Kind of a Funny Story and Due Date - if you haven't seen these, they are worth your time. If you have never watched an episode of Between Two Ferns, watch this one with Brady Pitts:

Galifianakis deadpan insults his star guests with the most cutting and rude questions imaginable and they all sit there and take it. It's extremely funny and for some reason it doesn't get old, at least not in this movie. Catch it on Netflix.
