Leave your thoughts about Funny Ha Ha.
| Film Journal InternationalDoris ToumarkineIsn't much more than a promising calling card that should take director, cast and crew to the next level. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisA smartly observed, unpretentious, and unconventional comedy of manners -- or more properly, it's a comedy of mannerisms. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt raises so many little questions and offers so many quiet insights that one sitting isn't enough. |
| L.A. WeeklyScott FoundasBujalski takes a sledgehammer to the carefully ordered surfaces and dramatic conventions of narrative cinema, favoring instead an unpredictability in which the crosscurrents of quotidian life collide on the screen in a series of brilliantly alive patterns. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayDollenmayer has managed to transform a sad sack into an indie screen goddess. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekMade on so frayed a shoestring that it looks like a Dogma project minus the glitz and about as vacuous as its array of clueless twenty-something characters. |
| Film4Jon FortgangNot actually that funny ha ha, but a sensitive and unforced little film about the aimlessness of post-graduate life. |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsThis is an undoubtedly modest yet wholly pleasurable tale about the difficulties that come with letting go of youth. |
| Austin ChronicleMarrit IngmanFunny Ha Ha is often offhandedly funny, and Bujalski has a knack for letting scenes build and then cutting out abruptly, duplicating the flow of a life in flux. |
| FilmjourneyDoug CummingsDollenmayer's low-key naturalism is a perfect compliment to the camera's hand-held gaze, presenting a touching combination of amiable nonchalance and emotional yearning. |
