Super odd and rarely funny, but somewhat interesting to see this oldie from Louis C.K.

Early film by Louis C.K. I'm a huge fan (Pootie Tang is a favorite), but this isn't good. Was available on his site for 5 bucks. May still be, but obviously I don't recommend it.

If you like Louie C.K.'s stand up or TV show then you'll likely be deeply confused by whatever this is.

I love Louie CKs humor, but this was soooo bad, I stopped watching after 15 minutes.

Louis CK's debut movie is altogether sporadically funny and worth watching for its originality, even though you may find yourself looking at how much longer the movie will last while you watch. The film has some dazzling, unique comedic moments such as the lovingly-strange, insane old man and the powerfully hilarious Steve Carrell. The quirks throughout the film make this worth watching, though the main character is a bit boring, but this was probably intentional. If you are used to artsy movies, this will be a fun watch. If you're accustomed to Hollywood blockbusters, you may consider this a waste of time. The film's best quality is its uniqueness and the characters that carry the film played by J.B. Smoove, Steve Carrell, and Joe Dolphin.

An absurd and hilarious early work from comedian Louis CK. The Independent film from 1998 reflects his comedy style from the time and is similar to the short films he was making around then (check them out on his youtube channel). Rick Shapiro in drag, JB Smoove and Joseph Dolphin have some great over the top performances that contrast well with Chuck Sklar's dull as fuck main character. The funniest moments however are those between Greg Hahn, Robert Smigel and Steve Carell. Every scene of the Private Willie subplot had me howling right along with the horrible army mailroom workers. There were minor technical issues such as some blown out shots that cut together awkwardly, but it's not a film about perfect visuals. Check it out if you want something absurd but not pretentious while still being genuinely laugh out loud funny.

It's more weird and off-balance than genuinely funny; I laughed out loud more at his email selling the film than the film itself.

The movie has diarrhea jokes, a randy granny, and a weirdo who sits in a big bowl of ice cream while pleasuring himself. Laughing yet?

Rated: D

The New York Review of Books

If Tomorrow Night creates such double vision and disturbance, it's just another proof that the discontinuity and strangeness that marks Louis CK's comic, casual art is-like the best art-not just virtuosic, but gruesomely (and brilliantly) true.

For the entertaining gems in Tomorrow Night, the faint of heart must be willing to suffer through some bleak black and white weirdness.

[Louis] C.K. has always seemed to be the type who learns by doing, and Tomorrow Night marks an important step in his creative evolution, even though it's more notable for its only intermittently realized potential than for its level of achievement.

Rated: 3.0/5
