It doesnt revolutionize or reinvigorate the web series, so much as it draws on nostalgia from when the idea still seemed fresh.

Theres nothing wrong with Galifianakis, Lapkus, Gaul, and Linayao as comic performers; they just dont really have much to work with.
Collider

Those bite size online interviews were an ideal match of form, technology, and content. As a movie, it all seems so mundane and forgettable.

By giving the protagonist a pitiable background here, the films producers are actually weakening the structure of their entire raison detre.

Between Two Ferns: The Movie avoids most skit movie missteps with its short runtime and snappy pace and a bevy of hilariously game celebrity cameos.

The jokes are still perfectly crafted and savvily delivered, but a lot of the subversive thrill is gone.

Scott Aukermans weird little Funny Or Die web series has evolved into a narrative feature film while still keeping its weird, spiky charm.

Even with a running time of just 82 minutes, Between Two Ferns loses a bit of steam in the home stretch.

When it comes to comedies, its never a good sign when the blooper reel at the end of the credits is the highlight of the film.
