Quotes
Bark Multiverse: I realized the whole world could collapse in chaos and disaster and here's me, one of the richest people on the planet, in a position to actually do something about it. As soon as she finished speaking, I hit the phone, got my people to buy a mountain in New Zealand, had it hollowed out, and here we are. In my survival bunker.
Director: Don't people call you selfish?
Bark Multiverse: I don't know. It's soundproof.

Tested Positive for Hilarity

WHO CARES if some of the material has made the rounds before in different forms? To see a lot of it compiled, tweaked and delivered hilariously by actors who were unwaveringly invested in their roles, was one of the best film experiences I have had this year.

What is baffling and eye-roll-worthy is the fact that some people are STILL in denial that most of what was presented (albeit with added humor) is ALSO TRUE! You see it in the "1" ratings by the brainwashed and braindead (who very much like one of the characters portrayed), can WATCH something happen - yet convince themselves they did not see what they just saw. FACTS mean absolutely NOTHING to these people and their confused, failed, ridiculous excuses get more egregious the less THEY can make sense of them. They think that by doubling and tripling down within their own alternate reality, they'll suddenly be correct and everything which has been proven through data, information, graphs, pictures, figures, indexes, videos, facts will be proven to be wrong. THAT makes this film all the more pertinent and even funnier (and a little scary)!

After causing me to laugh out LOUD for close to the 70 full-minutes of its runtime, Death to 2020 has gained a spot within my top 20 favorite movies of all time.

15/10 - EXCELLENT!
