INDIE MEMPHIS 2017 REVIEWS: Noel Wells's Austin-based self-discovery comedy MR. ROOSEVELT dares you to watch it and not laugh

I’d compare the film to Mike Judge’s work, and I mean this as a gigantic complement. No single gag is necessarily fall out of your seat funny, instead they cumulatively charm you until you can’t seem to do anything except laugh at every interaction. She does this by not overly exaggerating any given moment in an unrealistic joke, but rather taking hundreds of totally believable ridiculous incidents and cramming them all together into one escalating funny movie-long joke.
