It was amazing. Went from laughing my ### off to the verge of tears at one scene with 15ish minutes remaining. I thought it had a ton of heart.

I saw that Rebel Wilson was in it and vowed not to watch it.

I thought it was very adept at walking the line between the two. It may be weird to compare the two, but I contrasted it with Death to Stalin - which I didn't think walked the line very well at all. I thought they did a great job with it in this movie.

I see no reason why they wouldn’t. The humor is in a similar vein to a Wes Anderson movie.

I don’t understand someone having such good taste in music with your username, and such bad taste in movies.Ah, so nobody should enjoy it.

Yes
It’s not at all artsy farts. It’s very funny while balancing dark with cute.

I've watched it twice now. It's a terrific movie. Tragicomedy it's hard to do but this is a great example of it done right. Sam Rockwell especially knocks it out of the park.
Thomasin McKenzie reminds me of Jodie Foster.

Fun movie. I thought the silly parts were slightly hindered by the pseudo-German accents, which made the dialogue take a bit longer to process.
The Nazis in the movie made me recall Hannah Arendt's description of the banality of evil -- they were mostly just punching in their time cards and going through the motions. They believed some weird things about Jews -- and later about Russians -- but weren't viscerally motivated by anything less banal than trying to fit in and do what was expected of them.

The whole of German society had been conditioned for generations to just "do as you're told".
When they defended themselves at Nuremburg with "we were just following orders", they really meant it. Of course, to an individualistic society like ours that made zero sense.

I watched it myself and then grabbed my wife and kids (14 & 12) and watched it the next day. Led to some laughs and some good conversation.
