Skitzophrenia

This review contains minor spoilers.

I'm not the biggest fan of comedy "sketch" shows on real-life television. Why? Because a lot of the sketches just aren't funny. We get introduced to a couple of people with no personalities and whatever they do, we are supposed to find it funny. Repeat many times. Of course, there are some exceptions of sketches I laugh at, but the majority are pants. However, with 3DMM, you can do a lot more things you wouldn't dare to attempt in real-life, like starting explosions, flooding a place or show some really stupid and silly humour (take a look at Skitzophrenia's The Most Boring Skit in the Whole Wide World), and they CAN be funny, like Actor's Day and Humorville have shown. And the great thing about showing explosions, floods and more is that they actually can appear in the foreground, the main focus. Not in the background as some tiny speck.

Some may disagree. Some of you may love and depend on such programmes to survive. Well, in that case, you can stop reading this review now and see Skitzophrenia. In this review, I'm talking to those who aren't really bothered about real-life sketch shows, and I am trying to tell these people why they should watch Skitzophrenia. Many of the skits are hilarious, making you smile, chuckle, or even laugh out loud at them, and Jaymond does superbly in keeping plenty of variance in this skits movie. He even pokes fun at his own movie by going through the "faults" of Skitzophrenia half-way through or by other more subtle ways. And with half an hour of skitz to get through, this isn't something that will last a stupidly short time. This lasts as long as a real-life sketch show. If that doesn't persuade you, take a look at the Box Office. Skitzophrenia has a whooping 73 points, second of all-time. 73 people enjoyed it. So, please watch it?

But there are some rather unamusing skits, but to be fair, there is hardly a skits show which doesn't have its dull moments. There aren't many in Skitzophrenia, but when one does come up, it is usually one that is very clichéd, or one that has been done before earlier on or drags on for too long. That's called repetition. Steering away from this bad point, I now better start talking about one of the best things about Skitzophrenia: the voices. Jaymond impresses by doing most the voices, from old men to young women to fat slobs, and they were all of high-quality; no surprise really, seeing as it is coming from Jaymond. Doing a movie like this shows off his voice really well, because of the many amounts of different characters he has to voice-act, and there is no doubt that he is one of the best voice-actors there is out there.

Skitzophrenia is well worth the watch if you have some time to kill. The animations and scenery may not be that good compared to other movies released this year, and there will be some moments where you will be tempted to click on the "Stop" button and skip a few skits, but as long as you don't expect this to be a stunner (like the Box Office suggests) you should enjoy this as much as I did. Jaymond has made a name, not only in voice-acting, but also in movie-making now, and I know this is unlikely, but I would welcome a second Jaymond film.

Score: 82/100
