Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
danbrnst I enjoyed the director's previous documentary, I Am Comic, which was a grab bag of clips and comments on the life of a comedian. I Am Road Comic tries to apply a similar approach to Doing Comedy On The Road, a vocation many comedians never take on. It focuses on a single weekend of shows at a gritty club in Washington State. The director, a former/sometimes comedian himself, is trying out life as an opening comic on the road for the first time this weekend. Despite this odd setup, we do get a decent glimpse of the road comic experience. The crowds are actually pretty friendly and he doesn't seem to bomb (as was hinted might occur). The club had been in the news for its violent bouncers, but those bouncers are well behaved this weekend. Everything goes pretty well. At the end, the director/narrator says he'll never "work the road" again, but it's hard to see why he's so negative about it. Enjoyed the ride, though. Just a bit confused by the ending.
