Anyone else seen it yet? I’m a fan of Bert - but not a die hard by any means. I was hoping it would just be entertaining, but it was awesome!!

I am not a fan of Bert, and I was on fence about this movie. Since you liked it, I will watch it. Thanks.

Curious if you gave it a watch yet? Please report back when you do.

I enjoyed it. Certified cheese movie. For me it was around 5.6 - 6.2/10, depending on your mood and who you watch it with. I found some parts genuinely funny. Dj chemo, sponge, I think she is autistic, DAD! I am inside him! were some parts I literally lol'd.

Glad you enjoyed it. I think we had similar takes. Watching it in the right mood with the right person and it can be fun movie. It’s no masterpiece but it wasn’t trying to be one.

I was entertained but felt like most of the good bits were in the trailer (a common problem these days), expect for the grossest bit of the film (you know) which was wildly unsuitable for use in a trailer.

edit: I should caveat this by saying I don't think I'd ever heard of Bert before, so that could impact my enjoyment of the film. At least one person at my screening had a Bert tour t-shirt and I imagine they were loving it.

Ah, I have noticed trailers seem to be going strong on major spoilers these days as well. I had not seen a trailer at all. I actually expected that the movie was going to just be the story turned into a movie as if the viewer had never heard of Bert or the story at all. I think this was my worry that I’d feel as if I’d seen it before from the start. I liked that this wasn’t the case.
