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

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

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

Memphis Flyer
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.

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.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)
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.

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.

He soon bonds with a much younger woman who was also forced to do community service (Leslie Mann), while at the same time angling for a career comeback. Danny DeVito and Harvey Keitel co-star. Directed by Taylor Hackford (RAY).
