Let me preface by saying that Taika Waititi is a genius and I am not. I am very knowledgeable of WW2 and I think that inhibited my ability to find the humor in this movie that many others have raved about. The immense real tragedy of the subject matter made finding slapstick humor essentially impossible for me. One gag depiction after another of Nazi's in full buffoonery just couldn't get it with me even though the message and tragic nature of this era is fully exposed, at least at times. I can honestly say that I didn't laugh once. I barely raised a smile. I wish I could have enjoyed the humor others have expressed, but for me it was the equivalent of making a funny movie about Jeffrey Dahmer. Sorry.
