john b Nov 8 Warped, twisted, comedy, drama. Very original. See more Paul K Jun 26 A pretty sophisticated film, really. Very well-written and directed. The acting is far above average, The leads are impeccable. Jocelyn Ayanna as the Black waitress absolutely kills it. A diamond in the rough. The film asks many questions about who we are as humans. Fascinating! See more pierre c 11/07/2017 Very interesting movie. The acting is good, grungy and meaty. The movie makes us care about the characters. Ventriloquist puppet Jesus on the Cross is hilarious. "Middle Man" poses some fascinating questions about humour. Why were the old comedians funny in their day? (Abbott & Costello, Burns & Allen, Jack Benny, Chaplin). Were they ever as funny as today's more hip comedians? Why are they boring today? Is it because they have been copied ad nauseam? Have we grown more sophisticated? Or are we missing the context, the zeitgeist? Note how Lenny's gruesome recitation is very funny because if the context, because of how we perceive it. Past generation were as smart as we are. Why was their humour so different? Were any jesters in Imperial Rome, or Medieval Europe, as hip as today's Seinfeld, Luis C.K., Chris Rock, Richard Pryor? Where is a Lenny Bruce type in the Old Testament? See more 10/27/2017 I must be demented. I liked this movie. I was still chuckling this morning after watching it last night. It's dark, really dark. And, it's silly and full of cliches and some groans but I found it funny. Not many "comedies" can make be laugh out loud, but this one did. Call me sick. See more 10/20/2017 Loved the humor, little silly but worth it. See more 10/14/2017 Jim O'Heir showed what he can do beyond Parks and Rec, and in my opinion, this movie was outstanding! The deterioration of the human condition is something that is rarely well-executed, and this film revives my faith in that premise. West was phenomenal in the supporting role, and the simplicity and very little soundtrack had me thinking of No Country For Old Men. Kept me on my toes the whole time. Was not expecting the end, but found myself satisfied with the dark, somewhat sad twist to close out this film. I feel everyone should give it a chance! See more Read all reviews
