n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I'm a huge fan of KITH, Mr. Show, and A Bit of Fry & Laurie and I think this show has the potential to end up in that rarified air. The sketches are clever and hilarious and they're not tethered to impressions, recurring characters or current events, which is refreshing.Give these guys time to mature and I think they'll be the next big thing. Only Key and Peele can compete with these guys in terms of quality sketch comedy that is currently in production.I see several negative reviews here which is fine, its not for everyone. What I don't get is why people have to be so over-the-top with their negativity these days! You can just say you don't like. You don't have to call it 'crap' or moan about losing respect for Bob Odenkirk. It ain't that serious folks!

I'm seeing quite the polarization, here: Folks either think it's the bees' knees, or think it sucks. For one thing, I don't think there's any use comparing it against Mr. Show: The flavor is very updated/refined/lower-key. I like that; it's a different modality, and one I could plug in to.The key, I think, is that Odenkirk is trying to become a better and better producer of media products that aspire to true art, and I for one see TBBs as a step in this direction.So: What makes TBBs look, to me, like such a step? The writing and directing are very well-integrated. This integration means that they don't have to rely on an "obvious" sketch gimmick to clue in the acting talent as to their motivation. Bob has a subtler idea, and he ably directs very able actors to achieve these subtler comic effects. Good on 'im!I was just thinking of watching them again. Yeah! I think I'll do that!

Dang this show is hilarious! It's easily my favorite new show on TV. The writing is so clever and the cast all have legit acting chops. I feel like IFC is blowing up with original content that will steal audiences from FXX. I love the one where the dude is getting sentenced to jail and he's like, "I can't...I'm sorry I just can't do this anymore I'm done. I know, I know everyone can hate but I just can't." Or the one where the guy is like "Yeah I mean it was an okay movie but it's nothing to write home about..." They also play on a lot on filmic conventions which is really cool and funny.When Key and Peele first aired it was good, but I think it went to a whole new level in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. I bet the same thing would happen with the Birthday Boys. I really hope IFC brings them back for more episodes!!!

Such a let-down to see the hilarious Mr. Odenkirk slumming with this crap after Mr Show, Ben Stiller, and Tim and Eric.It really takes SEVEN no-talent interchangeable white guys (with token "fat" guy) to come with up this broad, obvious attempt at comedy? The jokes come at a snail's pace and are telegraphed a mile away. I can't believe how boring, predictable and unfunny it is.Tried to give it a fair shot but it's just plain lousy. And seeing Bob and Mr Show alum like John Ennis trying to boost these guys' credibility is just sad. Weak material, terrible pacing and editing.Whitest Kids U Know weren't perfect, but they blow these guys out of the water. At least WKUK had talented performers that were distinguishable from each other.Birthday Boys is garbage. Sorry Bob.
