Zach Galifianakis takes his Funny or Die series on the road in this Netflix-produced comedy.
). Sometimes the show of discomfort comes off a bit strained: Would a Hollywood A-lister really just sit there and squirm in the face of so much abuse?
Which is why the blooper reel in the movie feels so welcome. It’s a pleasure to see Brie Larson respond to a grossly inappropriate question with uncontrollable laughter rather than stone-faced silence or to hear Galifianakis break character mid-line reading and burst into chuckles.
Directed by series creator Scott Aukerman , “Between Two Ferns: The Movie” is a put-on too, though not nearly as clever. Like some of the feature-length spinoffs of old “Saturday Night Live” sketches that proliferated in the ’90s, it feels like a padded version of a bit that was a lot sharper in five-minute increments.The premise is that a documentary film crew is following Zach around the crummy public-access TV station where he works, capturing how that “Between Two Ferns” magic happens.
Speaking of water, a pipe bursts and the studio is flooded, interrupting a pretty funny segment with Matthew McConaughey and forcing Zach and his crew to take their show on the road. And so they make their way cross-country, tracking down celebrities gullible enough to be interviewed and at least one who has other objectives in mind , all while hitting the familiar beats of a road-movie plot that goes nowhere fast.
Amid the third-rate hijinks and shabby mock-doc stylings, you always want more of “Between Two Ferns” itself. There are some characteristically funny interview excerpts here and there: Tessa Thompson, Hailee Steinfeld, Keanu Reeves, Tiffany Haddish and a priceless Benedict Cumberbatch are among the lucky celebrities who wind up in the guest’s chair.
