So there's something that's always been great about Mel Brooks comedy, and that is the ability to use pop culture and relevant information in such a goofy way.
That being said this does that but it's not in full Mel fashion but in Nick Kroll fashion. I didn't realize he was a director on this till I started watching it and it was quite obvious whose style it was. But that's not a bad thing. I think it's funny and in various moments quite clever.
It was slightly disappointing in that I don't feel like at any point the attention to detail in the set pieces were anything more than a poor MadTV set.
Overall more enjoyable than I was expecting and I'm glad that Mel Brooks was at least able to be attached and did participate in the writing. It's there and you can feel it.
I loved all the cameos as well. It's just loaded but I enjoyed it very much. So check it out if you just need some goofy laughs.
