I tried to like this movie. I saw it in theaters and then just watched it a second time today. There are good parts to this movie, but overall it does not hold together as a whole.

Sam Rockwell was great, Scarlett Johansen's fake accent was totally unacceptable. The music is great, but the story jumps around and has weird pacing. One of the other issues that I take exception to, is that 1930s Germany isn't a source of comedy for someone like me. I am not sure that the world in 2020 really needed a quirky nazi-themed comedy. This is the type of idea that needs to be stopped before the cameras start rolling. Although parts of this story are emotional and heart-breaking, the outrageous portrayal of the Gestapo as a funny Abbott and Costello type character is hard to watch. Some people might argue that this film does justice to history by showing the real consequences, the grim realities, but I will argue the opposite, I think this film spends too much time caught up in the comedy aspect and not enough honouring the millions of people who died in the holocaust. Other people will be able to see past the holocaust and enjoy this movie, but I just can't. Sorry Taika.
