2024 the best comedian review
Price: $21.90 - $14.87
(as of Nov 19, 2024 05:23:18 UTC - Details)
Jerry Seinfeld is a working stand-up comic again. COMEDIAN is a candidly revealing, intimately observed, and often very funny look at what it takes to be a comedian. On-stage, Jerry delivers his hilarious brand of observational humor. Off-stage, he struggles with difficult material, confronts self-doubt, revels in small successes, and accepts help and support from friends and colleagues, including Colin Quinn, Ray Romano, Chris Rock, Garry Shandling, Jay Leno, and Bill Cosby. COMEDIAN also discovers the sharp wit of rising young comic Orny Adams -- outspoken, insecure, and fanatical about becoming the "next big thing." What emerge are two fascinating journeys by two contrasting personalities who have some surprising parallels.

Title: A Must See for anyone remotely even THINKING about going into stand-up comedy...
Review: Jerry Seinfeld allows the viewer to see his hits, his flaws, his wins, and his fails. He wears his heart on his sleeve. The other comedian (Orny Adams) also followed on a journey of upward movement in the industry comes across as extremely self centered. Where Jerry's character (not one he plays, but HIS human character) says "I want to make people laugh , have a good time, that's what I'm here for", Orny is all about "How big is the crowd, are they good, why don't they get me? I've worked hard, blah blah blah..." . Don't get me wrong, Orny is a funny guy, he just needs to shift his focus off HIM and onto his customers, the people he is there to make laugh, after all they did pay to see him. And yes, I've done stand-up before.

Title: 2 Versions of DVD - One has extras. The other doesn't.
Review: This film is fascinating but be careful when you order.I just received my copy of Comedian with Jerry Seinfeld. I was interested in the film but also looking forward to the extras. Amazon has two versions of this product (one lists the extras, the other doesn't) but all of the reviews are lumped together. This made me assume that the products were the same.They aren't and the product that I received did not include extras, just the film.

Title: All the time.
Review: I watch this documentary all the time so I decided to buy it, to save money. Fascinating profiles of two comedians: one at the top, one on the rise from the bottom, and the elusive, impossible quest for perfection.

Title: Interesting But Could Have Been More Focused
Review: It was an interesting documentary. I don't get why he gave the one, very insecure, driven young comic so much time. He wasn't very funny and watching and listening to his insecure remarks and justifications was more than a little tedious. However, Seinfeld's insightful comments about comedy and the comedian's life make it a worthwhile disk to watch if not own. His story about the Glenn Miller band happening upon a little cottage in a snow storm is priceless and speaks to his degree of commitment to his chosen art form.

Title: Want to be a Standup Comic?
Review: There are two ways to approach anything in life. One way goes with the flow and one is an uphill battle. This documentary follows both Jerry Seinfeld and Orny Adams. As I would desire to be a standup comic this movie has helped guide my approach.

Title: Perfect
Review: This was a gift to my aunt and uncle to show them the world of stand up comedy and give them an idea of the profession I am pursuing. Delivered on time and the documentary truly captures the work ethic and life of stand up comedians.
