Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune The film succeeds in reflecting the weird sweetness in Pepitone. Mar 19, 2013 Full Review Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com Few comics with this degree of rage have been this self-aware and comical about it. He's a fascinating blend of NYC anger and L.A. trends. He's a wannabe vegan with road rage. 'Nuff said. Rated: 3.5/5.0 •  Mar 15, 2013 Full Review

Audience Member You have seen this guy on many shows and if you love unapologetic humor(what other kind is there) you will love this gloomy Gus. He will crack you up. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A touching portrait of an artist struggling to move past his own issues to forge a path back to the career that those issues de-railed. Steven Feinartz manages to make an honest film, but never at the sacrifice of the dignity of Eddie Pepitone. What emerges is a film that is entertaining, insightful and encaging. Pepitone's career may be different than most of us, but this documentary gets to the true heart of why we love comics --- they are brave enough to use the tragedy and challenges of life and fuel into an art form that aside from the results being angry and funny --- the strongest comedians are those to whom we relate. Pepitone's story is powerful glimpse into the strength of being human. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review
