Quasi

The only real joy to be found in “Quasi” is the kind that comes from seeing a group of old friends having a good time. While it’s nice to have them back in one sense, their pacing is a little, well, broken.

Just watching them play medieval-France dress-up is entertaining enough. But anyone expecting a normal movie might be disappointed, perhaps even outraged.

You’ll most likely get a few laughs and mild enjoyment when you just surrender yourself to the inanity of it all.

“Quasi” squanders an opportunity to give Hugo’s iconic character an overdue glow-up, instead settling for a version that won’t even ring a bell to the people already familiar with his story.

Its weak jokes feel like desperate cries for attention. The lack of laugh-out-loud humor makes watching “Quasi” a chore — and even torture in the film’s worst moments.


Lot of "gross-out" humor, lot of things you can't say on-air...This one did not work for me.

A funny voice is an unsustainable laugh outlet and by straying so far from its source material, Broken Lizard misses its opportunity to mine all the gags that would come out of a Quasimoto sex comedy. Ultimately the film is too safe and too lame.

I recommend it to fans of the comedy troupe, but they aren’t aiming high enough to hit the mark for anyone else.

It looks like those involved had a great time making this. Sadly, this enjoyment doesn't extend to the audience.

In his opening narration Brian Cox, who...has the wisdom not to appear onscreen here, informs us that the thirteenth century sucked. To say that the movie does too wouldn’t be wide of the mark.
