Flight of the Conchords: A Texan Odyssey (2006 TV Movie) User Reviews

Strange, but funny

Not quite on the level of the tv-show or the live shows, but a nice little short film, if you want more Flight of the Conchords, after you have finished the rest.

What's not to like about Flight Of The Conchords?

Flight Of The Conchords, I remember the day we discovered that great show for the first time. My wife and I binge-watched all the episodes and were disappointed it was that short. You can't get enough of Flight Of The Conchords so this documentary they made is just a welcome bonus. Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie are always funny. Their simplistic view on everything is just very catchy, their sense of humor might not be for everybody but it's for sure my kind of humor. We want more!

Absolutely hilarious!

The sense of humor of Conchords excels in this low budget gem. It's quirky, uncomfortable, cringeworthy and completely brilliant. Recommend it to anyone who enjoys the TV series.

It is like the show but more real

Because they don't have the filming crew and all the studio recording.

Mediocre little culture-based comedy

The title "Flight of the Conchords: A Texan Odyssey" makes it obvious already that this 44-minute live action short film we have here is closely linked to the pretty successful television show "Flight of the Conchords". The name Jemaine Clement may be familiar to some as he has garned accolades and successes in other recent productions as well, for example on a particular vampire comedy. But back to this one here that has Clement listed as writer and actor. Yes actor is correct as this is of course not a documentary indeed, but just a spoof of a documentary. The humor seems pretty dry, pretty sober and sometimes it works nicely, other times it doesn't work at all. Here and there we get a good moment, but it still drags a bit and 30 minutes could have been enough. Nonetheless fun to see Morissey early on included in here I would say, especially as he is not included in the cast list, as I am a pretty big fan of him and saw him live already. Shame he was gone this quickly. Now away from me already again and back to the project here. Maybe it is required to have seen and even better be a fan of FotC, but I myself am none of either and you really should not have to be in order to appreciate this project. Or any project that you have seen something else, especially if this came first. All in all, the comedy just wasn't good and frequent enough and therefore I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
