#1 Blah. Read the story in a better form, when the comet was named Hamner-Brown.

#2 Don’t Look Up is a half-hour too long and never all that funny. It’s also not terribly deep — nothing close to a Network (1976) or Dr. Strangelove (1964). You’re basically watching a series of skits.

With a couple of dumb, over-indulgent post-credit scenes, McKay also steps all over what would have been a perfect ending. We really did have it all.

This is true. Still, there were many times I thought dang, how did they get away with making this? There were some yokel moments thrown in as what looked more like foils but for the most part brutal. If it was supposed to be a Trump hit piece, it earns the coveted Paul Verhoeven Award.

#3 Did he have Ron Burgundy reporting the news. That might have been funny. Maybe. Will Ferrel has been mostly miss lately.
