While Jackie harbors plenty of rage, The Comedian is ultimately too heavy on the bull. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Combustible chemistry is squandered for stale and cliché plot developments. Full Review

This script, penned by producer Art Linson and professional insult comedian Jeff Ross, is a stinker for the ages. Full Review

So many films have been made by real comedians about the inner workings of the life of a stand-up comic, but this film stands out because "The Comedian" in question simply is not one. Some just have "it," and De Niro does not. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- [Robert] De Niro is fine in the role, but every time he opens his mouth on stage to make a joke, he's just not funny. Full Review
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Dec 27, 2017
A fetid, overlong drama laden with bizarre subplots and an inexplicably star-studded supporting cast, built around the dated idea that standup comedians can, indeed, be jerks. Full Review

Rating: C+ -- Hackford trots out a series of familiar, in some cases faded, faces from the past... but the effect is disheartening, like being trapped inside a mediocre Friars Club Roast. Full Review
