Hilarious...

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2020)

Right, well I didn't really know what I was getting myself into when I sat down to watch the 2019 movie "Jojo Rabbit", except for knowing it to be a comedy of sorts and that it was set during World War II.
I must say that "Jojo Rabbit" is a very unique movie, and it was a funny approach for a movie revolving around events of World War II. This is definitely not something you'd see in other war movies. For better or worse, some might not like it, however, I happened to enjoy it quite a lot. It was a refreshing take on a matter as serious as World War II.
And director and writer Taika Waititi managed to create a movie that had equal amounts of seriousness and comedy to it, in a way that really worked well in favor of the movie. To Taika Waititi's praise, I must say that this movie was enjoyable, quirky, sure, but enjoyable.
The movie had wonderful props, sets and costumes, and they had a glorious cast ensemble to perform the various roles in the movie. I must say that I really enjoyed the performance of Taika Waititi in the role of Adolf Hitler, that was just brilliant and hilarious. I was surprised to see Sam Rockwell and Scarlett Johansson in a movie such as this, but they complimented the movie quite well. I think it was a shame that Rebel Wilson didn't have a larger part in the movie, because her character had so much to offer.
I enjoyed "Jojo Rabbit" from start to end, and I can warmly recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch this odd war movie. Lots of laughs throughout the course of the movie. This is definitely well worth the money, effort and time to sit down and watch.
I am rating the movie six out of ten stars.
