Jojo Rabbitshould not work.
Actually, thats not quite right.
The movie really opens with the triumphant 20th Century Fox fanfare turning into a Third Reich theme song.
So yes, everyone in Toronto can agree that, on paper,Jojo Rabbitshouldnt work.
What they have trouble agreeing on is everything else.
Which side will you fall on withJojo Rabbit?
Do you enjoy puns?
Do you particularly enjoy stupid puns?
Does the idea of Adolf Hitler as a sassy, advice-giving pal make you chuckle or wince?
Would you laugh if Wehrmacht soldiers were presented as figures of campy fun?
Do you agree that German accents are funnier when they are done poorly?
Are you not morally opposed to any story about the Holocaust that has a happy ending?
If you answered no, well, you are going to have a lot to argue about this fall.
In Toronto, at least, the pros seem to be outnumbering the antis.
This is not a movie for everyone, but everyone it is for seems to be right here.
