Between Two Ferns: The Movie shows the strain of stretching a series of web shorts to feature length, but should still satisfy fans of the source material.

It's fascinating, and very funny, but it completely punctures the entire conceit. Be warned. Sep 26, 2019 | Full Review…

It doesn't revolutionize or reinvigorate the web series, so much as it draws on nostalgia from when the idea still seemed fresh. Sep 23, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

[T]here are enough big laughs packed into this scattershot adventure - structured around Zach Galifianakis' painfully awkward celebrity sit-downs - to warrant a viewing. Sep 20, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review…

[Aukerman] takes what's made the series so extremely funny and lovingly expands it into a feature film, in a way that would make all those '90s Saturday Night Live movies envious. Sep 20, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

The movie's conceit is hit-miss, but when it works -- yielding deadpan insults and pained expressions -- there are enough laughs to make digging up "Ferns" look like a fine idea. Sep 20, 2019 | Full Review…

A bit of concocted fluff that never asks to be taken on the level, and that allows Galifianakis to oscillate, with his usual stoic myopic cunning, between idiocy and ire. Sep 20, 2019 | Full Review…

While it may often feel like a barely structured shrug of a movie, it does at least manage to do its job and mine some genuine laughs out of its admittedly thin material. Oct 18, 2019 | Full Review…

Between Two Ferns: The Movie will most likely land on the slightly divisive with audiences parameter, but it looks increasingly clear that the performance of Galifianakis will appease most. Oct 14, 2019 | Full Review…

[Zach Galifianakis] made a handful of new episodes and tied them together with a lazy clichéd story that offers neither big laughs nor any ambition and I can't decide which is worse. Oct 11, 2019 | Full Review…

When it comes to comedies, it's never a good sign when the blooper reel at the end of the credits is the highlight of the film. Oct 9, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
