Death to 2020

Holy God was this aggravating. I have an immense amount of respect for many of the people involved in this mockumentary summation of the past year, but “Death to 2020”, for all the proven comedic chops of everyone involved, struggles to land its punchlines. The writing often lands either on an uninspired gag or happens upon a good joke but drives it into the ground in explaining the bit, making for a torturous seventy minutes that felt like three hours. Only Cristin Milioti’s clueless, racist, and xenophobic Karen gets more than one good joke. Easily the second-worst film of 2020.
