Review of Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose (2023) by Tvjerry — 07 Sep 2023

This is the only review I've written with a post-credit sequence that was the funniest thing in the film. If the title sounds quirky, you'd be half right. The title IS quirky, but the film…not so much. Simon Pegg plays a paranormal expert in the 30s who travels to a small farm where the titular animal resides. Yes, the residents seem sure that this creature is real and does indeed talk, but that's where the quirk ends. The writing is flat and most of the events aren't remotely amusing. Tossing in Minnie Driver and Christopher Lloyd doesn't really make much difference. While the subject offered potential, this dry realization tries to be existential and eccentric, but usually just falls short.

As for that funny part: After the credits roll, the screen is divided into 2 parts: on one side is a list of hundreds of names (probably Kickstarter investors) and on the other side the cast takes turns dissing the director, ending with the sentiment, "You Suck." Funnier than anything that preceeds it.
