Will have you laughing the whole time. Lol. This movie is great

A seamless blend of hilarious and deeply moving. Gorgeous cinematography, outstanding performances. Reference quality picture. A must own.

Great movie, although it touches on a very hard time in our history and tries to add some comical elements to it, they have managed to do a great job of combining these. Absolutely recommend this movie to anyone that wants to learn more about what happened during that period, although probably not a real life story, the overall concept is something that did occur during that period.

If you dislike darkly humorous movies about WWII Germany (Inglorious Ba——, Life Is Beautiful), this movie is probably not for you. For the first part of the movie, we’re introduced to a young boy who’s an aspiring Hitler youth who has a certain Adolf as his imaginary friend. After a while, I started thinking that this couldn’t stay like this for over 2 hours! Well, don’t worry, it doesn’t! New elements are introduced ( I won’t say what) that bring a new angle into the situation. We get some really amusing moments mixed with some highly emotional ones (at least one that’s gut wrenching) in a creative movie like no other (with plenty of excellent actors). My guess: There won’t be a sequel. If I could, I’d give this 4.5 stars, but comes highly recommended for anyone who can go for the darker humor I mentioned earlier.

I watched this with my 74 year old Dad and he laughed almost as much as I did. I can see some people being offended by the film for some of its content. Some real drama sneaks in between the laughs. Great performances

The biggest surprise of 2019 seemed to come from some alternate reality of craziness: “Jojo Rabbit”, a World War II comedy that tells of the coming of age of a 10-year-old German boy of the Hitlerjugend whose imaginary playmate is his idol Adolf Hitler (played by the writer/director Taika Waititi). There’s lots of hilarity (some of it priceless in its satirical silliness) but what surprises beyond the wild inventiveness of the storytelling is the underlying serious reality of the horrors of the fascist regime that at unexpectedly moments unearths profound emotional responses in the viewer. Quite frankly, I often found myself laughing one minute and crying the next. The acting is uniformly excellent, especially Sam Rockwell as the one-eyed training camp captain and Scarlett Johansson as the boy’s unfailingly dauntless mother, but it is really Roman Griffin Davis who steals the film as the boy Johannes who earns the disparaging nickname ‘Jojo Rabbit’ when he finds he can’t obey an order from Rockwell to kill a rabbit with his bare hands. Brilliantly edited, it may not be as polished as the usual by a master filmmaker but it more than compensates for it by its inspired creativity and emotional resonance which are the main reasons I love this film as much as any of 2019. Don’t let its wacky title fool you: this is a little gem you won’t easily forget

When I first heard my brother and dad talk about this movie I didn't really think it was for someone like me. Still, I have this movie a watch since I was buying it for father's day for my dad. I'm glad I watched it! It's a really hilarious movie. Taika Waititi is an actor that I was previously unfamiliar with but he was hilarious in this movie. Sam Rockwell I was familiar with from 3 Billboards and he was both funny and also a very genuine character looking out for his young friend. Scarlett Johannsen is not a favorite actor of mine, but I think she really nailed the role as a caring mother protecting her son and a Jewish friend of her late daughter. There are moments in this movie that will make you cry. I don't share spoilers so I won't share it but I will say it's a heartbreaking moment that also demonstrates the core theme of sacrificing one's self to protect others and fight for what's right. Overall, this movie is a story about promoting tolerance and love in the face of dangerous hate, with plenty of jokes thrown in to offset an otherwise dark subject matter.
