...The Comedian, like Jackie Burke at the center, isn't nearly fresh, interesting, surprising or dynamic enough to work, despite its occasional high points.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)

Hackford's never been much good at pacing, and the film sort of sloshes from one scene to the next, which calls greater attention to its considerable flab - it's full of full scenes and subplots that could disappear without any real damage.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 04, 2017
This is a film that reaches its emotional climax among a crowd of senior citizens at a nursing home singing a rousing song about the difficulty of bowel movements.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 09, 2017
What should have been fertile ground for a movie -- what it's like when you're a star famous for something that happened decades ago -- contains less insight on the subject in two hours than any single episode of Netflix's Bojack Horseman.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 03, 2017
Combustible chemistry is squandered for stale and cliché plot developments.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 27, 2017
Under Hackford's direction, what could have been a personal portraiture of success being relative to one's own sense of self-worth is surrendered to tawdry melodrama.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 09, 2017
A fetid, overlong drama laden with bizarre subplots and an inexplicably star-studded supporting cast, built around the dated idea that standup comedians can, indeed, be jerks.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 16, 2017
The movie evinces no understanding of the trends it attempts to satirize (viral videos, reality television, self-absorbed millennials), nor -- and this is fatal -- does it present any evidence that De Niro's vulgar Jackie Burke is actually funny.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 03, 2017
Hackford trots out a series of familiar, in some cases faded, faces from the past... but the effect is disheartening, like being trapped inside a mediocre Friars Club Roast.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 13, 2017
A curiously likable misfire, lumbering back and forth between a gritty, downbeat seventies character study and a slick, eighties-style showbiz comeback comedy.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 06, 2017
The plot is forced and flimsy, the characters are thinly conceived, and the comic writing is often cringeworthy.![CouchTuner](/dist/image/default/user.png)
February 03, 2017
While Jackie harbors plenty of rage, The Comedian is ultimately too heavy on the bull.
