Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie (2012)

Bekkah:

I… was not prepared for this movie. My real review is that the first, like, 3 minutes, which were the Jeff Minutes, were the best part of this movie and I recommend only watching those 3 minutes. Also, Tim & Eric, give Chef Goldblum a real role in this movie! You could have swapped out Jeff saying “uhhhhhhh” for the like 8 minute montage of Eric getting pooped on by children while Tim has really weird sex with Ms. Geist from Clueless. I think I am just not the target audience for this movie (x-ennial white dudes?). There were some laughs, but more cringes. Also a surprising amount of dismemberment? The best part was when Danya and I started talking about Jemaine Clement (who was not in this movie even in the slightest) and I helped Danya realize how attractive he is.

Danya:

I think some people really love this movie! 100% of those people are high and probably also white dudes. I like stoner dude movies! Harold & Kumar and Wet Hot American Summer are two of my very favorite movies ever. Those movies also are not ONLY white dudes. Maybe that is part of it? Who knows!? Jeff was the most delightful and it was downhill from there. I did FEEL a lot of things, but most of those feelings were uncomfortable, so way for being an effective film! More Jeff, please.
