Rating: 0/4 --
A mean-spirited piece of mumblecore that tries to provoke you, but only succeeds in boring you.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
None of this is necessarily funny. That's the extent of the irony here.

Boston Globe
For something titled The Comedy, this movie isn't funny. Or charming, likable, enjoyable, or any other adjectives you would find splashed on a poster.

Dig Boston
While this could have been the perfect portrait of a certain kind of idiot, the baroque cruelties and tonal monotony go too far.

The longest and dreariest 94 minutes I've spent on a movie this year.
Seattle Times
A searing study of an aging hipster who encapsulates the misanthropy popular culture's notion of what it means to be funny.

Product Description:
An aging Brooklyn hipster poised to inherit his father's estate begins to push the boundaries of acceptable social behavior while growing increasingly indifferent about the world and his role in it. Swanson (Tim Heidecker) has been spoiled since childhood. Safely nestled in a protective bubble of privilege since he was young, he passes the days by being impulsively irreverent with his three best friends (Eric Wareheim, James Murphy, and Gregg Turkington, aka Neil Hamburger). Meanwhile, beneath the surface, an acute sense of malaise begins to set in, causing Swanson's behavior to grow increasingly extreme and erratic. As the prospect of redemption looms just out of reach, the threat of reckoning grows increasingly probable.
