I thought this movie was great.
Im pretty critical when it comes to movies.. I don't like the usual garbage. Didn't know what to expect when I popped it in. After watching the first 5 mins I thought it was some stupid comedy that was trying too hard.
It starts with a lot of Black comics doing short interviews.
Kept it on because the direction and the way its made was keeping my attention...not the actual comedy. After a while I realised it wasn't a comedy. Its a serious movie slash documentary with a dorkey comedy element thrown in on top that really makes this movie original. The comedy isn't supposed to make you laugh out loud but comedy that will make you chuckle a bit.
We are following the life a comic and the hurdles he faces in life so making the audience laugh too much will take away from the drama/ seriousness of the movie.
Everything blended together really well. A couple scenes may leave you with a question mark but you'll get over it if you have an open mind.
Acting was great all around, the direction and other work put into this movie was done very well. Great stuff! This movie is inspirational to me and Im glad I got to watch it.
