Tour De Pharmacy Reviews

Aug 11, 2024

As good as it gets. Never fails to brighten up a day with its absurd comedy. Just watch the Will Forte as a French policeman bit and that's all you need.

John Cena 10/10. Diamond one.

Simplesmente hilário, morri de rir, mas garanto que quem pedala vai dar mais risadas do que quem não pedala. HILÁRIO

Fucking ludicrous, I loved every minute.

It was a very funny parody made about the Tour de France the biggest cycling event in the world. Also as a comedy as not as good, but as a parody it is. Because it's a parody it's absurd and overly comic humor hits every time. Iv'e has a lot of laugh out loud moments, and still laughing when remembering some scenes. Still at times it's pretty cringe how they solved some thing. Overall it's a very good parody and the cast is just the best for that. Love the cast, don't know how they got the actors to do this absurdity.

40 minutes of pure mayhem. There's things I wish I hadn't seen in Pharmacy (male nudity) but the sheer unabashed lunacy thrills the viewer from start to finish. Nothing is sacred for the cast and writers of this mockumentary, and I'm just fine with that.

It's a ridiculously over the top mockumentary. It's a good thing they kept it to under 40 minutes because any longer and it probably would've gotten really monotonous. Even with the short runtime, it has its fair share of jokes that don't quite hit the mark. All in all, it's an alright way to waste 40 minutes, but I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to see it.

Mockumentary about cycling, mostly about doping and Tour de France as we follow a fictionary race back in the days. It's funny. At times very funny, other times more of the stupid type. I dig some jokes, but the producers tend to drag out the funniest ones so far that they end up unfunny. That's sad. The 39 minutes was not too short at all. If it had been made longer it would be way too dragged out. I like the impressive cast - Orlando Bloom, Kevin Bacon, J.J. Abrams, Danny Glover, Mike Tyson and even Lance Armstrong. Solid names and some daring names, to say least. I'm wondering if I'm up for "Seven Days In Hell", if so, I must make sure it's over a few beers with friends. Also a must to this comedy that both hits and misses. 5 out of 10 dead bicyclists.

Very funny satire. Does not take doping scandal seriously at all.

malheureusement, ce n'est que 40 minutes

Did I watch this simply because of Daveed Diggs? Yes. Did I get more out of it than Daveed Diggs? Definitely. While not hilarious, this is a genuinely funny film. Sure, not all the jokes made my laugh out loud, but most of them made me at least smile. I also think this was a very creative film. If you've got nothing to do, and have some interest, I'd say this film is worth the ride.

An entertaining enough short that is roughly 50/50 in hits and misses with the humour, an average that I find surpasses the majority of modern American comedy.

The race is on, and so the madness. Another 40 minute television mockumentary made by Jake Szymanski. The previous one was about the 1996 Wimbledon finals, where we saw Serena and Venus Williams in small parts. This one was across the English channel about the 1982 'Tour de France', where the boxing legend Mike Tyson makes into despite not related to the sport. Sets in the present day that interviews the those who took part and others who had connected with the '83 French cycling event. They share their experiences with us. The director is kind of setting up a trend and his own style of filmmaking. I really loved it as I did for his other film. So I'm already thinking where he could go from here for the next one. Probably further south to Italy, for Grand Prix (F1)! But something is very clear, that it'll be a sports themed flick. Those who loved the '7 Days in Hell' would do the same for it as well. Similarly, it was the film for adults, because of some full nudity. As you know how a documentary film is edited out with many clips from the different timeline/era, for this film they have used VHS cam to get the retro type effect. Very genuinely done. If you never visited online searching detail about the film and have not heard anything about it from friends and family, you might think it's real. Because that's how perfect it was. Don't believe what I said in the previous line. If you know films, then you surely have some idea to differentiate the types of films you watch. Except there will be always some doubt till you read them online or get cleared by your friends and family. That's what I meant. So it was not perfect as the one Peter Jacson made in the 90s before getting fame. ?When you put a crazy person in charge of the 'Tour de France', crazy things will happen.? In this case, it was too much unrealistic to the actual world. I mean in the serious world. But what you see in it was very funny. And again, to have that greater fun, one must know at least a brief history of 'Tour de France'. It's not mandatory to understand the film. Those who have got no idea about that cycling race can still have fun. But if you are familiar with, then the fun will be two folded. Some of the historic events attached to it. Like a cyclist falling in love with a French farmer woman. And so on, the parodies would keep you entertained. If not, at least you should have seen Ben Foster's 'The Program' before trying this. That film will give you as much detail as you can feel comfortable with while watching this one. Like Andy Serkis the master of motion-capture, Zoe Saldana the alien queen, now the Andy Samberg is becoming a specialist in mockumentary leads. Not to forget his 'Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping'. There won't be any surprise if he and this director team up again for a similar flick as I mentioned in the earlier paragraph. Finally, it is one of the best films of the year. I highly recommend it. It is truly a multi-starrer. From John Cena to JJ Abrams to Lance Armstrong, it was a big cast for a short film. The twist and turns are everywhere. It opened with a twist in the tale, and so the end. Besides the game it related to, some of the sub-topic filled the rest of the film. And one of them, the highlight was gay theme. The mockumentary fans must not miss it. Even after reading my review. 8/10

A pleasant surprise! I thought this would be stupid but it was pretty hilarious. Definitely would recommend. Short too, under an hour.

Jul 23, 2017

This short has slapstick relevance to actual professional cycling; the actors obviously haven't ridden a bicycle before, there is minor historical evidence to doping (no mention of Bernard Hinault), and weaves a love theme irrelevant to the pharmacy itself.

Jul 19, 2017

It's only about 40 minutes long, and that was a good choice. Any longer and it would have been too long.

Jul 16, 2017

This was actually pretty funny in a ridiculous over the top kind of way. It's like a National Lampoon's version of cycling.

Jul 15, 2017

Hilarious, good acting,good characters, not just your run of the mill mockumentary. Recommended to anyone who likes the Office, Parks and Recreation, Popstar, and Hamilton. It's a laugh riot and has good, original jokes!
