Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend Storyline

This is a continuation of the TV series about Kimmy, who was trapped in an underground bunker for 15 years and then moved to NYC to begin a new life. The viewer is occasionally given interactive choices of continuation. Kimmy is getting married (or is she) and is preoccupied with the preparations such as trying on a wedding dress accompanied by friends. The groom, Prince Frederick, is also busy. When Kimmy discovers a book in her “empty” backpack from the bunker, she concludes (or not) that there was at least one other girl she didn’t know about also trapped in the bunker with her and she sets about finding and rescuing her/them by visiting the pedophile kidnapping reverend in prison – or does she – your choice.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend Movie Reviews

“Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy VS The Reverend”- A mildly entertaining plus-sized episode elevated by its unique interactive gimmick.

You thought you had heard the last of Kimmy Schmidt? Well, think again! Tina Fey’s beloved cult-comedy hit is back with a new interactive special-“Kimmy VS The Reverend!”

Picking up some time after the series finale, the new special finds Kimmy (Ellie Kemper) quickly approaching her wedding day with British Prince Frederick, played by a fantastically cast Daniel Radcliffe. However, Kimmy soon comes to learn that the nefarious Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne (Jon Hamm) has had a second, secret bunker all along, and that there is another group of captive “mole women” out there, waiting to be rescued. And so, Kimmy must set out to save the day along with her best friend Titus! (Tituss Burgess) At the same time, Titus’ manager Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) tries to keep him secured in a role in an upcoming action picture, while Lillian (Carol Kane) opts to throw a bachelorette party for the absent Kimmy with hilarious results.

“Kimmy VS The Reverend” is a delightful little coda to the series, thanks in large part to its implementation of the interactive gimmick. Every so often, the viewer will be given a choice between two or more options, which will have an impact on the narrative in some way. Some are small and merely create minor cosmetic differences in specific scenes, while other decisions are larger in scope, and can entirely effect the outcome of the story. If you’re familiar with choose-your-own-adventure books, you’ll feel right at home, because the special very much plays out like one. And be sure to keep your eyes peeled for easter-eggs! While I won’t spoil any, there are some very clever hidden scenes to unlock if you make the correct choices. I’ve been wondering for quite some time why Netflix hasn’t been exploiting their potential for interactive entertainment more than it has. It seems like a complete no-brainer. So it’s nice to see the format applied to one of the site’s most unique sitcoms.

The writing is generally quite solid, even though I would argue that it’s lacking in the big laughs that typically defined the original series. The special made me grin on several occasions and got a few decent chuckles out of me… but I never really got any of the big belly-laughs I had come to expect from “Kimmy Schmidt.” It’s more charming than amusing, I’d say. But I could forgive that, because it makes up for it with the interactive gimmick, which kept me thoroughly invested.

And as always, the cast is a complete delight. Kemper slips right back into Kimmy’s shoes like no time had passed at all, and Burgess is excellent as always. But the biggest surprise was Radcliffe in his guest-role as Kimmy’s fiancé Frederick. He fits right in with the rest of the cast, and has a great chemistry with virtually everyone. It’s a shame this was his only appearance in the series, because I’d love to see more of his character.

“Kimmy VS The Reverend” may not be the best, nor the funniest episode of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” But it’s certainly one of the most memorable thanks to its interactivity and branching storyline. If you’re a fan of the series, this is definitely something to check out! I’m giving it an 8 out of 10! As Kimmy would say, it’s “hashbrown, awesome!”

It was in my backpack

Kimmy was abducted with other girls by a horrible man who would cheat at “Clue” and worse things never mentioned. She goes on with her life. The comedy is fresh and brilliant. It includes nuances that require a second look, like baby eyebrows. Excellent cast.

Kimmy and friends have an interactive adventure

The year after the original series ended, Kimmy and her friends are back in an interactive special. “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend” depicts her about to get married when she discovers that the reverend has another bunker full of mole women. So, she and Titus set out on an adventure to find it; let’s just say that Titus is probably the first flamboyant black guy to do some of what he does here! Meanwhile, Kimmy’s aloof employer Jacqueline and gentrification-hating landlady Lillian have their own adventure.

It’s an interactive special, so there are several different plots that it can take. I watched it twice. It’s not any sort of masterpiece, but enjoyable enough for the brief runtime.

I’d like to see a special depicting “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, “Six Feet Under”, “The Big Bang Theory”, “Modern Family”, “American Horror Story” and “Stranger Things” all taking place in the same universe.
