I have no idea how a film with this kind of comic talent could be so painfully unfunny.
Jemaine Clement and Matt Berry's respective presences should have made this an instant classic, let alone adding Aubrey Plaza and Craig Robinson. Instead the actors seem to have been directed to give utterly wooden and wildly uneven line readings that don't even elicit a chuckle, with Craig Robinson basically copying Peter Boyle's performance from Young Frankenstein.
What a waste of a great cast via terrible direction. Avoid at all costs.
