Sorry to Bother You

[Kringelbert Fishtybuns 945]

This movie is why I still love going to the theater and one of the funniest I have ever seen.  I saw no thread on it, but you should go see it.

I would say it wasn't what I expected but I wasn't really expecting anything. Some buddies and I that did inside sales/call center work out of college went to see it because we thought it would be some kind of Office Space-esque comedy with that as a set piece instead of SW/coding. It definitely had some Judge-level moments.

Weird as fuck but highly entertaining and, yes, thought-provoking, without being overly preachy.

Semi-related: does anyone play a better douchebag right now than Arnie Hammer?

he's very smarmy when he needs to be.  which is usually.

Saw it tonight and thought it was great. Seems like a film festival kind of movie masquerading as a (somewhat) mass released movie.

Surprised that weird ending didn't annoy more people here. It annoyed me. I thought the first hour was great, then it just got weird. Literal "work horses"? Ugly as hell too...

 

The satire and social commentary was cool, I'm with it, but that ending just got weird to me. Gave it a 'B' because of that.

Just saw it. Had zero expectations and enjoyed the first hour quite a bit, the scenery and use of colors really added to the ambiance. Then the horse cock twist really unmade so much of the film.

I mean it felt a bit off, but it didn't ruin the film at all.

+Matewan.  I was surprised at how parts of Sorry to Bother You was traditional.  And all of your three additives are fine movies.
