Shannon G Mar 29 A top 5 comedy all time in my book. Dry and intelligent comedy which makes you cringe at time and feel sorry for Henry which is what makes it so funny. A must see. Also go check out “Punching Henry” the sequel. Just as great. See more 12/16/2021 Some great moments, but the script seems to be missing Acts 2 and 3. See more 03/20/2016 A painfully transparent vehicle to showcase Henry Phillips's comedy songs. Guess what? They are NOT funny. They're basically the musings of an entitled manchild, rendered "cute" by a folksy tune. The entire film is built around getting us to forget how terrible the actual "comedy" is. The "stay-true-to-your-art" plot is hollow -- a self-righteous justification for Henry's own obscurity. See more 03/29/2015 I feel like Henry Phillips of this film is not far from the real life Henry Phillips. I love the understated humor elements which mostly covers the far-fetched, generic plot and uneven pacing. See more 08/21/2014 This is a good film for anyone aspiring to be successfully in Hollywood. every part of this film worked for me except i didin't find this comedy song maker's songs very funny. This wouldn't be such a bad thing but the premis of the movie is he cant get a break while there are crappyer guys out there who get all the success. Full of funny LA situations, there a little "curb your enthusiasm" in this. You do feel pretty invested in a guy i had never heard of and who is playing himself. See more 12/23/2013 A good comedy with witty lyrics and a ferocious criticism of the superficiality in L.A. See more Read all reviews
