If there’s one thing we have learned about movies, it’s that nothing ever good happens when one takes place in a cabin.

Between Two Ferns: The Movie
(2019)
|
Chase Whale
|
Between Two Ferns: The Movie shows how much fun Hollywood can be - we laugh at the inappropriate questions at the actor's expense and that's the whole point. It's a wildfire of brilliant jokes and I'm pretty sure I injured myself laughing so hard.

To an average moviegoer unaware of Lynch's work, the open scene may allude Blue Velvet is going to be a peaceful movie. But this is Lynch's world, so buckle up because shit is about to get weird.

Slow, then bloated, and explodes with boredom, and will probably lull you to sleep before you even get to the end. I don't know where it went wrong since the director is the one who made the X-Men franchise super popular, but we all have our bad days.
