The Machine (I) (2023)
7/10
Laugh Out Loud Funny!
22 July 2023
Okay, so I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it except that it had Mark Hamill in it.....and it is the funniest film I've seen in ages! 🤣

It's based on the (alleged) true story that comedian Bert Kreischer has told in his stand up routine about how he got mixed up with the Russian Mafia and robbed a train during a college trip with his school, and how that led to his now famous nickname, The Machine. Truth be told, I've seen Bert Kreischer on television and a couple of shows, but I'm not familiar with his stand up, but the movie is absolutely hilarious!!

Kreischer plays a fictionalized version of himself, who is kidnapped by a Russian Braatva (mafia) member who forces Bert and his father (played by Mark Hamill) to accompany her back to Russia to find her mob boss father's priceless pocket watch, that he stole when he was back in college.

For this movie, think the action and humor found in the Deadpool movies, and turn the dial up and that's what you get with this movie! It is incredibly, fall on the floor funny! It was a surprise hit for me! Really great time at the movies!! 🤣🤣
