It's about looking at life as an accumulation of disappointments and having the will to work for something better.

Toronto Star

In the final reel, the tone suddenly shifts from laughs to a deliberately quirky romance that feels forced and, worse, doesn't work.

Rated: 2/4

Hollywood Reporter

Comedian Adam Carolla mines his own career experiences to amusing effect in his semi-autobiographical dark comedy about an embittered stand-up comic.

Here's a comedy about a stand-up comedian trying to get out of the comedy business. And here's my advice to him: Don't quit your day job. You're good at it, and it serves the movie.

Pleasantly surprised at how moved I was by this movie. Show biz is tough, and Ace man directed and starred in this portrayal. Always appreciate tits, and that was a bonus.

I'm a big Carolla fan. This is the only one of his offerings I have ever failed to enjoy. It's a rom-com, and the "com" part had it's moments. But the "rom" part was an embarrassing epic fail.
