I have had this movie on my to-watch list for quite some time but I have never decided to watch it until now. Have in mind this is a weird one, not as crazy as for example Doom Patrol, but it has some moments that will leave you totally puzzled. The writers must have been doing drugs or something like that when thinking about certain scenes.
The story is about a young black guy who is trying to find a job. Right in the beginning, in the scene when he is being interviewed every viewer will realize this is a movie mainly about comedy, even though it has a little bit of fantasy and scifi in it as well.
So the job this guy is applying for is a telemarketer job, and the place of work is actually a very special one. The way to achieve success in this job is quite funny, it is the type of funny solution you would hear from Chris Rock, but not everything is funny and good because this company also has a dark secret.
Once the dark secret is discovered, the plot will slowly turn into a lite version of madness. There is a lot of dark humor throughout the film but this is something I enjoy, especially because not many movies have this sort of humor.
The performances from the cast were all good, there are at least 3 members of the cast who are popular and everyone did their job well. The best part of the film, however, isn't the performances but the WTF plot, including the ending.
If you are looking for a crazy and original movie that doesn't take itself too seriously then I recommend you to watch Sorry to Bother You. It has several funny scenes and a twist that is hard to describe but it is entertaining nonetheless.
The best
- Crazy in a good way for the most part and original.
- Good comedy in some scenes.
The worst
- The scifi twist might ruin the movie for many, it is a similar type of weird ideas that I saw in Doom Patrol season 1, but not as extreme of course because this movie isn't about superheroes.
