I was honestly doubling over laughing during the first half, though maybe a little less so later on, but I suspect there were plenty of people in the theater who just didn't get the joke at all. Russell Brand is an absolute genius, truly hilarious and just such a standout performer... as for the rest of the cast, well...
I completely agree. When I saw this in the theater, I was losing it over some of those jokes that are so uniquely Russell Brand, while most of the people sitting around me seemed totally unimpressed.
I think it boils down to this: if you're already a fan of his style, you'll love it, because he poured so much of his own personality and signature wit into the role...
