I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fantastic!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

As a 'Top Reviewer' on IMDb, I have written many film reviews in my time; however, almost all of them are capsule reviews that include a plot summary, brief pros/cons, and maybe a quick noteworthy piece of trivia to add an eensy bit of fat. However, none have been more personal than HECKLER. Here is a rare PERSONAL summary: I first watched HECKLER a couple of years after its release. Nobody likes a heckler, so the generic title was really an eye-catcher for me. Also, being a horror movie fan, I have a soft-spot for Jamie Kennedy who played Randy Meeks in the first three SCREAM films—possibly the horror genre's most underrated supporting character. My first viewing was at a buddy's studio apartment, and he and I both really enjoyed it.What brought me to replay this movie a few years later:I had recently discovered that one of my books had gotten a * out of ***** on Amazon.com by a reader. It included something along the lines of "the characters are as flat as the paper they're printed on" and some other harsh words that I don't wish to continue breathing life into. Deep down, I knew I shouldn't have cared; I get reviews and some of them are good, some are mixed and some are bad—this person's review made it pretty clear that they either didn't understand important elements of the story and/or it simply wasn't their cup of tea. On the surface, however, it was difficult not to be hurt.I actually decided to give HECKLER a replay and it really helped. Not only did it remind me that others receive this on a similar scale, but also that I created something that puts me in the spotlight to get heckled. In a way, whether my work was praised or criticized, I made an accomplishment that put me in a position to get reception from others—and just being able to have myself out there in front of the world like that is quite an achievement, and that fact is what I should be focused on.Also, Perez Hilton made a commendable comment in a deleted scene, explaining that because he dishes criticism, he has to accept criticism from others in return. While it might be an obvious point, it's an easy one to forget when you're down-in-the-dumps due to a bad review. I have written hundreds of reviews; and, yes, on occasion, I am willing to be blunt. Therefore, I need to move on and not let such a First World problem affect me creatively or emotionally.HECKLER is an excellent comfort film for anyone who is in a positioned to be heckled or negatively reviewed.***½ (out of four)

Performers are vain and sensitive. Many want to be performers, to make money, to earn fame. Very few accomplish either."Heckler" involves those who have proved themselves worthy of praise and those who would be better off in another line of work. Who decides? The audience.The clips of Jaime Kennedy show an earnest, young performer who isn't very funny in the footage shown. He's mad about it, hurt from it, but it's not the critics' fault. There are more established and successful comedians (Eugene Mirman, Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, et al) who cry a bit about having their feelings singed, yet who have solid material and clear vision.There is a wide range of notables and has-beens in this show. More would care if they hadn't spent their day cleaning toilet and serving fries. After all, trying-to-be-funny people: you're not doctors, serious artists, record-setting athletes, best-selling authors. Be glad you earned a dime. You're clowns. Either toughen up or do something useful.Life is hard work. Most people (as in 99+%) don't give a damn if you exist, let alone if you succeed in telling jokes by making a million dollars and having everyone love you. There is a glut of amateur performers in America. It's a sickness. It's vainglorious bullshit. Rather than spend all day trying to convince the world how important your art is or sitting in some selfish depression, get off your ass and do something useful. Because if you are really destined to do the job, you will work at it and be great at it. Otherwise, you'll just waste your time and other people's money.

Jamie, you freaking rock man. I don't review movies on IMDb often but I had to throw one your way.I've worked in film/TV production for a few years on the side and have seen this up close. I think this film said what needed to be said and they should show it in schools as a lesson in humanity. I started watching this as it was recommended on Netflix after I watched Joe Rogan's stand-up and was looking for something short before a meeting later in the day. I was so hooked, I skipped the important meeting and finished the film. I definitely got more perspective from the film than any meeting. I don't want to overstate this - I just really think more people should see this film. Bravo sir.

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?
