It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

A pointless adventure in the furtimhing of liberal Holywood's socialist agenda (while taking in millions themselves). No logic. Not based in anything but the writers agenda. Acting is OK.

The rating I've given this movie is not exactly indicative of my feelings toward it. Sorry To Bother You is quite rough around the edges. There are pacing issues. There is some tone confusion. There are dropped threads, some scenes that go nowhere, a nonsensical love story with no chemistry... BUT, I would be shocked if in 10-15 years it hasn't developed an intense cult following. This movie was unforgettable. The jokes worked. The politics were genuinely interesting. It brings you to surprising places as a viewer. I have a really hard time overlooking the stumbles of a first-time director with what was probably a limited budget and schedule, I have to be honest about its flaws. But this movie is so much more fun than its flaws! And we need more original thought in film!! My heart gives this movie a 10/10.

No spoilers here. I'd never heard of this movie or Boots Riley. I saw it on the recommendation of my 23 year old daughter. This film is overflowing with spot-on satire and social commentary. It just nails it. Throughout the film my wife and I were constantly saying to each other (not really constantly, that would have bugged the people around us. Oh yeah, did I mention that the Sunday afternoon showing we attended was FULL? And, yes, it was a nice day outside) we were constantly saying to each other "I have no idea where this is going or how it's going to end." Serious understatement. If you're part of the 50-ish percent of the population who wakes up every day and says to yourself "what in the world is happening to our country", then you should see this film. Sadly, it's not a call to action, but at least tells you--albeit with the subtlety of a frying pan to the head--"you're not alone".

This is the question you'll be asking yourself before you even leave the theater. The absurdity and the outright craziness this film reaches is neither enjoyable nor comfortable. The humorous sci-fi horror leaves you questioning throughout the second half of the film. Once the horrendous horse people are established, the film takes a sharp turn from a unique, seemingly well established comedy to a darkly odd, and extremely peculiar narrative. I will say your engagement and attention to the film never falls short, due to the insane and slightly deranged plot line. But the true interest will most likely leave before you can finish your popcorn. Enjoyed the acting all around, but there probably wasn't a single person cast who didn't question their desire to be a part of this. I know I would have, despite definitely still working on the project.
