    Unconventional low-budget offering that goes for reality. The reality is though that this film is just too preoccupied with its realism leaving for a bland and pointless film. It fearlessly represents the awkwardness of that time in ones life where jobs and relationships are hard...( read more) to come by. The dialogue is real and often engaging, but the funniest thing of Funny Ha Ha is that it certainly isn't chuckle worthy. It's more like a documentary of someones life, but with no interesting hook, just one person and what they do.

    Cassavetes for kids! Seriously, a testament to the potential of grass roots filmmaking, chock full of idiosyncratic, feral performances guided by Bujalski's penetrating organic script and direction.

    eh. not nearly as charming as mutual appreciation, i found marnie likable, but the rest of the bunch were homely fools.

    This film is really good.
    I saw Mutual Appreciation before this film and I really liked the director and I wanted to check out his other work and then I found this on late at noght but I am definatly glad that I watched this one.

Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

Bujalski's subtly well-constructed film reveals a charmingly idiosyncratic sincerity. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

It raises so many little questions and offers so many quiet insights that one sitting isn't enough. full review

David Edelstein, Slate

An indelible film. full review

Kyle Smith, New York Post

Funny Ha Ha is a reality bite of a story that's as substantial as the Gummi Bears the befuddled characters eat. full review

April 28, 2005
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

A small, plain movie, shot in 16 millimeter in dull locations around Boston; but also, like its passive, quizzical heroine, it is unexpectedly seductive, and even, in its own stubborn, hesitant way, b... full review
