Tying it into that "joke", the first act of Tusk is pretty good and then it starts to quickly go downhill before eventually introducing Johnny Depp's worst performance.

I think it's slightly better on subsequent viewings than it was when I saw it the first time. Maybe a bi-product of both kick-ass trailers and my love for all things Tony Gilroy that made me think it was going to be a masterpiece going into it.
