Movie 43

Forty-three is an updated version of The Kentucky Fried Movie which are both a collection of unrelated comedic skits/premises. In 43‘s case, it’s all strung together as a crazy person’s movie pitch. Are they funny? Given that most were written by or produce by a Farrelly Brother, it’s a matter of opinion and (bad) taste. For me the majority were pretty clever: Superheroes on speed dating; a blind date transformed into an outrageous game of Truth or Dare; or NYC’s most eligible bachelor having testicles on his neck. The best one involves Chris Pratt trying to honor his fiancée’s disgusting request which would’ve made Danny Thomas proud.

If you’ve got 90 minutes to kill and enjoy tepid, uneven sketches like SNL, this is up your alley. Everybody else, should the bit begin to bore you after a couple minutes, fast forward to the next is my recommendation.
