Brad Wheeler

Globe and Mail

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

Rated: 2.5/4

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

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.
