Same. I tried to work out why it was such a colossal bum note. It gave me that same feeling of watching an extended SNL sketch where it’s irritating because you don’t get the self-referential stuff because you’re not a regular viewer, while the ‘obviously funny’ bits just weren’t sharp enough to carry the film alone. Shame.

Interestingly, I've read online that the negative reviews are because the film accuses the media for fueling the misinformation issues we face in tackling the climate crisis, and so this is their way of disagreeing with that motion.
I did enjoy the film, but I think perhaps the above idea might be overreaching.

Saw Don’t Look Up, can only add to the comments that it’s flabby and overly long. Which, with an incredible cast list (not always a reliable metric but 5 Oscar winners!) and The Big Short and Vice part of the DNA, is a significant achievement in itself.
