Death to 2020

Netflix's new 'play something' algorithm put me on to this and I probably wouldn't have watched it otherwise. I laughed so hard the back of my head hurt. It was like watching a really good edition of SNL's 'Weekend Update' only difference being it's an hour long. Look, it's definitely for an 'Anglo' audience; for Christ's sake Hugh Grant and Tracey Ullman headline. The criticisms leveled in the reviews here are from people who were never going to like it anyway and at times the humor comes at you so fast it is like watching Mel Brooks' 'Blazing Saddles'. The writing is comedy at its very best BY ANYONE'S standard, sometimes in your face and at other times subtle and NO ONE is spared. Others here also panned the 'Borat' movie, tell me that wasn't funny. It is so hard to sift through so much 'content' to find something worth watching , this one goes well beyond one's expectations for a good laugh. The bad reviews, as usual , are from people who don't come at this with an honest open frame of mind, if you like the movie you'll know who they are. This movie is solid eight stars, period.

I wasn't expecting that. Fun, hilarious take on the mockumentary style. Hugh Grant was gold and the bits with the Scientist....🤣! Samuel L. Jackson & Leslie Jones were too funny! Loved the Voice-over narration, as well.

Mostly miss to be honest. Many a YouTuber did a better job at comedic commentary on and during 2020; and in a shorter runtime no less. Lacked the edge that Charlie Brooker brought to Black Mirror.

It is supposed to be a comedy but on the contrast I didn't laugh at all. 2020 was in fact a crazy year and we don't expect them to include everything in this film. But it's like the only focus was given on the coronavirus outbreak and the most of it about the US election and Trump administration.

Overall a fun mockumentary that's funny because of how they came at everyone.

It really doesn't matter your stance, they probably made a joke about you (which is likely fueling some of the negative reviews). Yeah the jokes may be "low hanging fruit" as another review described them, but the way they are presented in succession makes this a pretty fun bout of dark humor.
