Review title: Getting to the Joke
Product review: Jerry Seinfeld can do most anything and I would laugh, but this documentary came close to the limit. A behind the scenes look at stand up comedy and the struggles of both superstars and wannabes. To see Jerry swear was new, to see Jerry with other comedians was cool, but on the road, on stage, in the wings, on his jet, were all interesting, but not very entertaining.Though documentaries intend to provoke thought, not necessarily entertain and the fact Comedian does both makes this film satisfying.Comedians are all insecure and tortured with the exception of Bill Cosby. The wannabe in the film is Orny Adams, who shows the ugly and unpleasant side of the business and his personality. He is a bad man.More than anything else Comedian shows Jerry is not much different than his SitCom character. He is a funny guy that made it big, but not much different from anybody else.The DVD special features were a bonus especially the Jiminy Glick interviews.mdMichael Durankowww.bootism.com
