Totally was NOT expecting that

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2020)

Knowing Waititi and seeing the trailer, I expected this movie to be a comedy with some emotion. After seeing this movie, I saw comedy and emotion equally balanced, emotion even a little higher.
The acting in this was CRAZY good. The chemistry between JoJo and Elsa was SO good. I believe this is the first time I've seen either actor in a film and boy did I love them! Yorkie was a great source of comic relief and I found myself smiling every time he appeared on screen. All these young actors were SO good! ScarJo and Rockwell were fantastic as well. Waititi's take on Hitler was hilarious and had me dying.
My two favorite scenes was the one with the grenade and the one with the shoes. Great examples of balancing emotion and humor. Also as a history nerd, I thought this movie did a good job balancing the small scale war and the wider scale war too.
Overall, this movie will make you laugh till you cry and cry cry for real. I loved this movie would 100% recommend it.
