What the Funny

About This Movie

So, 'What the Funny' is this quirky mockumentary that really leans into that awkward charm reminiscent of 'The Office' and 'Waiting for Guffman'. It follows Max, this beleaguered guy trying to keep his comedy theatre afloat in Seattle. The pacing has this delightful ebb and flow, capturing both the chaos and camaraderie of the cast as they grapple with last-minute preparations. The performances are earnest, full of those little moments that somehow feel relatable, which adds to the film's unique vibe. It’s one of those gems that captures the struggle of live performances with a dash of humor and heart, leaving you feeling a mix of sympathy and laughter.

'What the Funny' has a bit of a cult following among collectors, mostly due to its offbeat humor and the indie spirit it embodies. It's not overly common in physical formats, so finding a copy might take some digging, especially if you're after a DVD or Blu-ray. The film's indie production means that it doesn't pop up in mainstream discussions, but for those who appreciate mockumentary styles, it's a curious piece worth exploring.
