Mostly miss to be honest. Many a YouTuber did a better job at comedic commentary on and during 2020; and in a shorter runtime no less. Lacked the edge that Charlie Brooker brought to Black Mirror.

Tested Positive for Hilarity
WHO CARES if some of the material has made the rounds before in different forms? To see a lot of it compiled, tweaked and delivered hilariously by actors who were unwaveringly invested in their roles, was one of the best film experiences I have had this year.
What is baffling and eye-roll-worthy is the fact that some people are STILL in denial that most of what was presented (albeit with added humor) is ALSO TRUE! You see it in the "1" ratings by the brainwashed and braindead (who very much like one of the characters portrayed),can WATCH something happen - yet convince themselves they did not see what they just saw. FACTS mean absolutely NOTHING to these people and their confused, failed, ridiculous excuses get more egregious the less THEY can make sense of them. They think that by doubling and tripling down within their own alternate reality, they'll suddenly be correct and everything which has been proven through data, information, graphs, pictures, figures, indexes, videos, facts will be proven to be wrong. THAT makes this film all the more pertinent and even funnier (and a little scary)!
After causing me to laugh out LOUD for close to the 70 full-minutes of its runtime, Death to 2020 has gained a spot within my top 20 favorite movies of all time.
15/10 - EXCELLENT!
"2020, a year so momentous it had to be named twice."
From the folks who brought you 'Black Mirror', this is an often hilarious mockumentary outlining the fits and foibles of the year just past, one which we all hope to forget very soon. It doesn't follow the typical 'Black Mirror' style, if there is such a thing, in as much as just about every line of dialog or narrative is done in a humorous vein, while taking potshots at both sides of the political spectrum. I can generally handle it when 'my guy' is dissed as long as the 'other guy' gets the same treatment. Some will counter that the resulting outcome wasn't even handed, but even so, both libs and conservatives were skewered pretty well here. Sometimes the jokes got a bit tired, but what the heck, you can put up with it for the mere seventy minute run time the picture delivers. I didn't realize it was Hugh Grant ahead of time when he came on screen as critic Tennyson Foss; he had some clever quips and rejoinders for the interviewer off screen. Samuel L. Jackson, who I swear is just about in everything that comes out these days, was very much channeling his own personal opinion most of the time, while Lisa Kudrow offered up an even more ditzy blonde interpretation of her character form "Friends". This may not have been the best way to remember the year of Covid-19, but it is one of the funnier ones. If you can remove your ideological hat for a brief hour or so, this ought to provide a laugh or two.
