7.0

*Stuart Fails to Save the Universe* is ridiculous, chaotic, and surprisingly entertaining. It fully embraces the absurdity of Stuart and doesn’t waste much time pretending there’s anything serious going on here. Not every joke lands, and the whole thing occasionally feels stretched beyond what the premise can support, but there are enough genuinely funny moments to keep it moving. It’s definitely aimed at people who already have some affection for the character and this particular brand of comedy. If that’s you, there’s a lot to enjoy. It’s not exactly saving the universe of comedy, but it’s a fun way to spend some time in it.
