robinjade3 I enjoyed the movie, it was entertaining and informative. I didn't go through all of the reviews yet. How is it that I don't see anyone mentioning that chick slapping up her boyfriend??? He just took it. Jamie kicked her out and she went ballistic on that poor guy! I almost felt bad for laughing so hard. He should have left her when she went in. Wow. I'm still laughing about this. Also, I love you guys. I'm sorry you were hurt. Every comedian I saw in this film has made me laugh. I am very happy you are around. Keep it up! Lewis Black: "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have gone to college." Almost 20 years ago, I was at an IHOP in Abilene, TX, off of I-20 with a couple of friends late one evening. There was a man that looked like you in the booth behind us. I didn't say hello because there were papers all over the table and he seemed really busy.
glassmonovitch This film is OK, but not one that I'll be re-watching anytime soon, or recommending to friends. The first 20 minutes or so are great. This section focuses on how stand up comedians are impacted by hecklers, and how they deal with them on stage, and emotionally. Suddenly, the film focuses solely on film critics. This starts out interesting, but drags on for the remainder of the film.One thing I found offensive was a point that was hi-lighted a few times in the film: What have YOU created? What film experience do YOU have to be able to judge me!? I hate this elitist attitude from performers. I'm not a chef, but I know when food tastes like poop.All in all, I really wish the film would have stuck to hecklers because that part of the film was interesting and funny. The second part of the film that focused on critics was interesting, but not nearly as entertaining, and dragged on for too long.
cobra_freak_006 this documentary goes into hecklers to critics to a-holes like us on the internet. one of the more interesting things i thought was in this film was about the movie critics and self proclaimed movie critics out there on the internet that claim they are being honest but are really writing crap about the person that made the film or the actor.a few things they mentioned was Malibu's most wanted which even i remember people saying it was the worst movie they have ever seen. which to me i wouldn't say it was the best but i thought it was funny because i knew many kids that acted that way and saw the humor in it by dragging those kids in to watch it. only thing i feel this film should of gotten more into detail about was the subject of critics and people writing bad reviews about movies they have never even seen. for example i remember listening to howard stern talk to a person who bashed his film, private parts, in the news paper and also said she never seen the film and never would. overall i enjoyed watching this film and loved it when some of those hecklers got in the boxing ring with some "critics"
ritera1 I find it funny that this film is full of comediennes complaining about hecklers and critics. Isn't it the job of a comedienne to be a critic?Sure, hecklers can be a pain in the ass as they are interrupting an attempt at creativity. But critics say what they think after the fact (i.e. comics). What's wrong with that? It's a matter of the opinion of one person. Sure, that opinion might be a landmine of bias and hate. But maybe it isn't. In the end, it's one person's opinion. ONE person. Let me remind you that you will not please everyone all of the time, even if you are "good". All these whiners think that their ATTEMPT at creativity is the finish line. Gawd bless them! Most of the people interviewed likely make very good livings doing what they do. So they have succeeded with enough people to live comfortably. That isn't enough? It sure would be for me (as I'm also an aspiring screenwriter but have never been this blubbery about criticism).Good for them. Good for them. I wouldn't dislike someone who can make a good living doing something that doesn't hurt anyone. But just 'cause something is created doesn't make it good to me. Listen to most people and they don't have a really high opinion of film, TV, music, etc. Some, sure, but never ALL of creativity.Take a cue from professional wrestling. They THRIVE on being booed. They revel in it. Bad press is better than no press.As for the film, I find it a repetitive, slanted, propaganda piece in favor of reasonably wealthy performers against critics who are infrequently represented. The few they had sounded reasonable. The very brief ending groped for balance but was sarcastic and equally vindictive about it. Are you trying to tell me that Jamie Kennedy has no opinions? He's just non-committal and accepting of ALL creativity?
