Misery Loves Comedy – Documentary Review

This movie was really a display of many comedians giving their life stories and comedic stand up career successes and fails. This movie was pretty long for a documentary, but the movie never dragged. It kept up with a range of different comedians, from Steve Coogan to Kevin Smith. All of the comedians were very entertaining and interesting to hear their input on their own career paths. The movie started with introductions about their parents and family life. It moved into their early career choices. And went through the struggles and successes in stand up. Movie roles and TV shows were noted by each of the comedians. It was really star studded cast of interviewees. And the interview questions were really well developed and made for some great responses.

Overall, I would recommend this to any documentary or comedy lover. I would also rate it an 8 out of 10.

See No Evil, Hear No Evil – Movie Review

This movie was very hilarious, even though at times I felt guilty for laughing. As everyone who has probably watched this movie know this is the classic comedy with Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder. Richard Pryor plays a blind guy, and Gene Wilder plays a deaf guy. Between them they try to catch a villain team and put them behind bars. Through the laugh out loud funny scenarios that happen in this movie based around their disabilities was great, yet at times I feel kinda bad about laughing.

Even though this movie was cheesy, kind of offensive, I still think it was very funny. I would rate this movie an 8 out of 10.

Russell Brand: Messiah Complex – Stand Up Review

This stand-up was very well directed and performed. Russell Brand was back to his grotesque sexual humor and well-spoken language skills. The way this stand-up was setup was slightly different, he was introducing how 4 leaders were like himself and how they helped mold the world into a better place during their time as leaders. This movie really shows that Russell has matured into a more rounded comedian. He has changed his stage presence and act to coincide with the ever-changing audience. This movie shows me that he is daring enough to change up his stand-up and try to make an impact in the world, like the leaders he chose did.

Overall I would recommend this to anyone interested in stand-up, and would rate it an 8 out of 10.
