To those who've seen this: if I didn't find Deadpool remotely funny will I enjoy the humour in this? I'm sick of my friends thinking I'm a joyless bastard, I wanna laugh.

if you like rogen's other comedies you'll like it
also, there's a lot to unpack. i didn't find it funny, but I enjoyed watching what they did with the premise
Basically this. Such an interesting watch. Lol. I did chuckle at the caricatures tho.

Like three people (all adults) walked out as soon as they realized what the main theme of the movie was.

What the hell? Do parents just not look at the ratings for movies and the reasoning behind them?
I'd imagine it doesn't go much further than Cartoon = Kids.

Literally every ad I saw for this movie focused heavily on the R rating, it should have been no surprise.

I honestly thought it wasn't going to be very good, based on the trailer and leaked script. It seemed they were going for purely vulgar humor for the sake of it. So the positive reviews are pretty surprising to me.
Maybe later down the line I'll give it watch. I also hope it's financially successful, the market could really stand for more adult-oriented animated films.

I loved This Is The End and even liked the Christmas movie they did last year but I hated this. If you liked the trailers, then you'll probably like this but if you thought the trailers looked bad (as I did), then stay away.
If you want it to be financially successful, you should see it now during opening weekend. Just sayin!
sure. rogen's style of comedy is still highly present though. it's a safe assumption

This movie is ok, I give it 6-6.5/10. I find the comedic tunes very uneven.
The most impressive thing is
's Woody Allen impression. I had no idea it was him.
The trailer is actually very accurate preview of the quality of the movie. Some posters in this thread went overboard with the praise.

This is the thing, I didn't laugh once at the trailers, thought they relied far too much on cutesy characters swearing/getting eviscerated as punchlines =/
The reviews have got me interested in the film's social commentary though ahah, if not necessarily the style of humour.

Shock value for shock value sake. There wasn't much in this film that I felt to be clever. It really did boil down to a bunch of animated characters swearing and getting away with vulgar visuals because they're animated. That joke stretched across a whole movie.
This is no South Park movie.

I just saw this movie. Wow. It was surprisingly decent but it was literally all over the place. Whoever is interested in seeing it...you're not ready lol.
Yeah the last 10 minutes escalated so quickly, My friend and I were like "lmfao what the fuck is happening?" during that entire scene.

That's what I thought with movies made by Marvel Studios. Then I took the kids to see Deadpool. Oooh the embarrassment. 😔
Sigh, so parents even do any research any more?
Side note, I remember when half the theater walked out of The Hills Have Eyes remake during that one scene. If you've seen it, you know what scene I'm talking about. Such a great movie, but damn that was intense.
First 10 mins of no jokes and just animated food cursing - "this is gonna be a dumb movie". But I realize now that intro is just to wake up parents into leaving the theater with their kids.
Is the last 10 minutes the
sex orgy?

lol well damn, my interest is piqued even more now.
Just saw it. The trailer is actually strikingly accurate. The comedy style is like that the whole time. It also has a "message" young liberals will love I'm guessing. Kinda like a South Park episode.
They get pretty clever with all the food types and the types of characters they are.

The entire movie there was a couple of rows of parents with their kids. I guess they figured their kids could handle it.
Lol
The last 10 minutes made then lead their kids outside.

I enjoyed it for what it was. I'd say 6/10 personally. I legit found a few parts really funny. Others fell kinda flat

Loved this movie and found it genuinely hilarious (which was surprising to me) and definitely recommend it. Solid 8/10.
However, I don't know if it was just my theater or my ears being weird or what, but I found the audio mixing in the movie to be just awful. The voices sounded so silent at some parts compared to the background music/noise.

"Well, Kyle? You have your cake. Eat it, too."
Considering that I don't even think South Park or Team America is as clever as others do I'll take a hard pass. Thanks!

Just got out of a showing. Not quite as good as I expected, but I still enjoyed it. At the end of the film, it dawned on me after the themes presented that someone could really take this movie as a fucked up version of
I honestly wonder if that's what Seth Rogen was going for the whole time.
VeggieTales.

Didn't really care for it.
Animation was largely nice though. Some of the characters had a clay mation vibe.

i wanna add while the social commentary exceeds expectations it's about as insightful as talking to a college freshmen who just discovered atheism
I forgot which review it was but they aptly described the movie as anti-religion yet incredibly preachy
also hella reminiscent of conkers bad fur day
Yeah it isn't exactly transcendent because it's still rooted in being a genre parody.

I 100% agree with the rating and the spoiler. The comedic moments were great for the most part but the story stuff was just boring.

I feel like that is a good way to describe the movie.
worst. yeahhh, I'm skipping this.
Great movie. It starts to drag a bit in the middle when the characters are just sort of going through the motions to get to the wacky stuff in the last third of the movie, but the ending is definitely worth it. I also really enjoyed the zany animation and slightly off-putting designs for some of the characters, it's refreshing to see a computer-animated movie that doesn't have the exact same look and style as everything else. Definitely recommend it.
People prefer that companies block children from seeing it so the parents don't have to do work.
I don't know whose batshit crazy idea it was to let me see house of 1000 corpses when I was like 8

Agreed, it was anti puritanism and busybodying.
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. The audience I saw it with knew what they were in for, and that added to the experience. Several middle aged couples laughing their asses off with us, which was fun to see. Older crowd in general than I anticipated.
They definitely over played the novelty of food/objects swearing for shock value. The opening scene pushed and got a lot of laughs (IIRC, the first word uttered in the film is "Shit!"), but they clearly kept using it as punchlines and it had worn out early. So it was just profanity for the sake of profanity. It wore thin.
Loved the opening song, and several of the side characters. My jaw dropped when I saw the bagel was played by Edward Norton (doing a bang on Woody Allen impersonation). The story was quite different than as presented in the trailer, but that was mostly a good thing; I didn't know where it was going. The bad thing was, the movie didn't really know either, for a while; it sags heavily in the middle.
I didn't care for the coda / wall breaking at the end. It was needless and dumb, even for this movie. And the orgy did go on too long, but this isn't a film to practice restraint.
Gum was the standout character, IMO. Stole every scene he was in.

Suck my soft pink cock.
Good thing Deadpool isn't a Marvel Studios film.
