Comedian Movie Review at Hollywood Video (1564 words) |
 | Comedian starts with Seinfeld, not content to retire after starring in one of the most popular sitcoms in television history, getting back to his stand-up roots and honing his routine at various gigs around the country. |
| Comedian follows Seinfeld through a number of embarrassing moments, including a performance during which he gets to the end of a joke and can't recall the punch line, even after sifting through his notes. |
| What's so fascinating about Comedian is that it shows the underbelly of comedy—the relentless self-doubt, the addiction to attention, the constant canvassing of the clubs at 2am to try new material on drunk crowds—and the amount of work it takes to get five minutes of solid material, much less 50 or 90. |
| Comedian (2002) Movie Review - The Hollywood News (607 words) |
| Comedian is a documentary that chronicles Jerry Seinfeld’s rebirth as a stand-up. |
| Comedian is a sporadically entertaining documentary that tags along with Seinfeld as he struggles to put together new bits and routines. |
| Comedian is not the laugh-fest that the title would suggest, there are plenty of funny moments and a little too much Orny Adams to be sure, but the scenes where Jerry is having drinks and talking shop with some of the great comics of all time makes Comedian a fascinatingly voyeuristic journey |
