Comedian Reviews
I wanted more jokes. But I'm never tired of watching the star.
| Original Score: B+ | Jan 4, 2018
This is not a comedy concert film, it's about the hard work of creating comedy, about the glare of the spotlight, about the rush of a good performance, and the heartsink of comic meltdown on stage.

An honest, engrossing documentary about what it's really like to be a stand-up comic.

It's both endlessly intriguing and side-splittingly funny.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 22, 2003
Think sausage. It's gristly, filled with fat, and even if you like standup comedy, you might not want to see it done.

Being funny is serious business.

Choppy editing and too many repetitive scenes spoil what could have been an important documentary about stand-up comedy.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 17, 2003
Digital-video documentary about stand-up comedians is a great glimpse into a very different world.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 11, 2003
Comedian never comes full circle with the intimate details surrounding the personal life of Jerry Seinfeld. The real romanticism is about a man and his love affair with one main dancing partner-the companion called comedy.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 2, 2003
You might be shocked to discover that Seinfeld's real life is boring.

It doesn't have a narrative arc so much as it sips from the snifter of the life of a comedian, but that does not detract from its interest one bit.

Those with an interest in the art of stand-up will revel in this, and there's enough laughs to sustain it for those not looking to overintellectualize things.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 8, 2002
Ultra-cheap and incorrigibly lo-fi, Comedian doesn't have much rhyme or reason, or a point.
Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 26, 2002
What's missing most from Comedian is the stand-up act that Seinfeld is so carefully crafting.
