This
review contains some spoilers.
The first thing I noticed about Humorville Final, apart from the
fact that the letter 'u' was missing (yeah, you just knew I was
going to say that!), was that after a couple of scenes in, it
was pretty similar to Skitzophrenia. I haven't seen any of the
previous Humorvilles before, but if the others were as good as
this, I have got to check them out. This may not have made me
laugh as much as movies like Videogame Nightmare 2, or maybe
even Skitzophrenia, but I enjoyed watching the majority of the
movie.
I expected Humorville Final to have not so much of a plot, but I
was wrong. We are introduced to Whofoundland really well, and
even though it was pretty informative, Dean Francis still
managed to add a couple of jokes in, which I chuckled at, and as
a result, the introduction kept me entertained. I'm glad that
this movie has some sort of plot, even though it is a comedy. No
matter what the plot is, it just adds a little more depth to the
movie and you become more engrossed in it. Of course, for
Humorville to work, the skits must be funny, and fortunately, a
lot of them were hilarious. Highlights include the guy
constantly being stared at, the invisible tube, and the geeky
baby. The unreturned CD, the toaster-collecting man and the old
man telling the boy how to do things right (with a great finish
to the skit) also got me into fits of laughter. It really is
funny.
Not surprisingly, there were a few skits which did not make me
laugh. And watching most of the lesser funny ones, I got pretty
bored, waiting for them to end. Skitzophrenia also suffers from
this problem, but to a lesser extent, but still, it is only the
minority of skits in Humorville Final which slightly bored me.
Onto a lighter note, like I said with previous reviews on other
comedies, the voice-acting has to be good to pull off a lot of
jokes, and this is a good example of how it should be done. The
voices may not be good as some of the others, but the quality of
them are more than great.
Since this is possibly the last Humorville title, I was
expecting a great ending, and I was not disappointed. It was a
nice and funny conclusion to the movie and it was well-tied up.
But as you are reading this review, you are probably asking 'is
it worth the download?' and to that, I would say this. If you
would like to spend your time, laughing at skits, this is the
movie for you. The start and finish of Humorville Final is done
really well and sets the right light-hearted atmosphere. But if
you don't laugh at many things, and you would rather watch a
drama or some action, find something else. The sensible person
would download Humorville Final and have a blast.
Score: 80/100
