Just so...so bad

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library.Overall a very nice, entertaining movie about a group of old friends who have been doing good live improvisational comedy in small venues for a number of years. They are like family. Two of them are a couple. The group has never hit it big, they probably are just making ends barely meet. Deep down each of them would love to get a big break, if not for the whole group then for themselves.One of them does get a break, he is hired to perform on a fictional TV show that seems to be patterned after "Saturday Night Live." This creates some tension but most of all several want their friend to now help their work, their comedy writing, into the hands of a TV boss. The problem is, most of them just aren't good enough. Adequate but not good enough.The last verse of the Dylan lyrics: "So long honey babe Where I'm bound, I can't tell Goodbye is too good a word, babe So I just say fare thee well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind You could have done better but I don't mind You just kinda wasted my precious time But don't think twice, it's all right"

This is amusing and has a few moments, but no laugh out loud moments during this film.The story is of a comedy cast trying to make it in the competitive New York market.It does digress and veers off track – sometimes becoming overly melodramatic. There's a love relationship, one of the cast has a dying father, another meets up with a high school sweet-heart who is pregnant. If it would have stuck to the nightly comedy routine and the tensions within the group it would have been more unified. So after awhile what exactly are we left watching? Never felt very engaged by any of the characters.The ending is overly schmaltzy with all participating in a group hug, but in the prior scenes there were fierce and combative arguments...Good for a quiet weekday evening.

I was really excited about this movie (since it's produced by Ira Glass and has Chris Gethard and Mike Birbiglia on the cast). It didn't let me down. It won't be everyone's cup of tea since it's slow and nothing much really happens. But to me, it felt real and emotional and the acting was top notch. It's more of a drama than a comedy so go in expecting that. It's beautifully executed and it seemed like the cast really had a good time filming it. It's not a blockbuster but it's a small little movie that will warm your heart. I actually teared up a little bit towards the end. Give it a watch and support the awesome comedians in it.

you can call it a "dark comedy" at best, but it is NOT a funny movie, unless you have a very low standard for making you laugh. it's not a very interesting story, and unless you can relate to being in an improv group, you probably will not enjoy anything about this movie. I thought about shutting this off about 30 minutes in, and wish I would have, it didn't get better, it didn't get interesting, and definitely did NOT get funny...snooze-fest!, unless you can relate for some reason, just give it a pass...there is not a thing that will make you laugh...
