I give the movie 7/10 but I was a bit disappointed.

I expected a full comedy yet this movie had a lot more drama than I thought at first. So it felt a bit unbalanced.

I agree that it's overrated first of all, I don't find it funny as a comedy where the plot is also quite a cliche the attempt of mixing genres don't quite work for me

director could not decide if it's gonna be drama or comedy,

That's exactly what I thought. It was very muddled in tone. It wasn't a bad film but it would have been a lot better if it had picked a tone and stuck to it.

Overrated, in that out of the 6 who saw this one, 4 vociferously disagreed with the otherwise lavish praise it received

It was actually very popular, dude. I heard loads of people talking about it and singing it's "brilliance". It's the critics who were actually the less enthusiastic ones. Reviews weren't bad but they tended to be 3s out of 5 in general. I think it's the Oscar buzz that drove the assumption that it was well praised.

5/10

also the cigarette joke was very poor considering Hitler was nonsmoker and in general making fun of this from someone whose country was not affected by war it's also quite poor taste unlike Monty pythons for instance

Please explain this statement. New Zealand was greatly affected by WW II. Here is a short overview:

I watched it on HBO Max a few days ago, not knowing much outside of its Oscar nominations ...and respectfully disagree! I thought the movie was brilliant! Taiki as Hitler was hilarious (reminded me of his vampire role in What We Do In The Shadows) and it had a decent mix of serious, emotions and comedy. I gave it a 8/10! Not gonna be one of my FAVORITE movies, but deserving of its recognition!

That is all! Flaming welcome!

I think 4/10 is generous

Was NZ attacked by any country? If not, you was not affected by war if you voluntarily chose to participate in it.
