Fans of the original web series as well as fans of comedy mockumentaries, such as The Office and Parks and Recreation, will enjoy Between Two Ferns: The Movie.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 21, 2023

After watching Between Two Ferns: The Movie, it’s nothing more than an overblown SNL sketch that even at a sparse 82 minutes is stretched beyond its limits.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 20, 2022

If you enjoyed the show, I think you're going to love this one... it's hilarious.

| Sep 20, 2021

A fun, niche little gift for fans of the web series, and when it's good, oh boy, it's as hilarious as it's ever been.

| Original Score: 3.5 / 5 | Jun 25, 2021

The challenge is how to retrofit backstory to a format that was never meant to have any story at all, which hangs a lot of faith on an audience tuning in that probably weren't all that curious...

| Original Score: B- | Jan 8, 2020

Just because a skit works in short form doesn't mean it should be turned into a movie.

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.

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 15, 2019

[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.

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 9, 2019

Here, the sublimely ridiculously chats hold the movie together.

| Oct 8, 2019

By no means a failure, but it's a meandering way to fill in the gaps between glorified web comedy shorts.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 4, 2019

The absurd humor... is lethal. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 3, 2019

Aukerman knows what we're all here for, and it shows in the script's jumps from one interview to the next with stars like David Letterman, John Legend and Keanu Reeves.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 2, 2019

The most important thing you need to know about Between Two Ferns: The Movie is that it's hilarious.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 1, 2019

Between Two Ferns: The Movie is a competent film that delivers plenty of laughs, while never quite aiming for the high bar set by its source material.

| Sep 28, 2019

Nothing about the expanded format dilutes the hilarity of the inappropriate interviews.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 28, 2019

Hilarious film version of web series; cursing, edgy jokes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 26, 2019

It's fascinating, and very funny, but it completely punctures the entire conceit. Be warned.
