Barry Crimmins is pissed. His hellfire brand of comedy has rained verbal lightning bolts on American audiences and politicians for decades, yet you've probably never heard of him. But once you've experienced Bobcat Goldthwait's brilliant character portrait of him and heard Crimmins's secret, you will never forget him.

Full Plot Details

Barry Crimmins is pissed. His hellfire brand of comedy has rained verbal lightning bolts on American audiences and politicians for decades, yet you've probably never heard of him. But once you've experienced Bobcat Goldthwait's brilliant character portrait of him and heard Crimmins's secret, you will never forget him. From his unmistakable bullish frame came a scathingly ribald stand-up style that took early audiences by force. Through stark, smart observation and judo-like turns of phrase, Crimmins's rapid-fire comedy was a war on ignorance and complacency in '80s America at the height of an ill-considered foreign policy. Crimmins discusses another side of his character, revealing in detail a dark and painful past that inspired his life-changing campaign of activism in the hope of saving others from a similar experience. Interviews with comics like Margaret Cho and Marc Maron illustrate Crimmins's love affair with comedy and his role in discovering and supporting the development of many of today's stars. As a venerated member of America's comic community, Crimmins could be your newest national treasure. Just don't tell him that.

Movie Reviews

Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Colin CovertYou may never see a more excruciating nonfiction drama about a comic's comic.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Simon AbramsCall Me Lucky is a loving but fair portrait of the artist as a heroic hothead.
Arts Fuse - 9/10 by Betsy ShermanA labor of love that's more than merely that, Call Me Lucky is one of the few great movies to come out so far this year.
ScreenAnarchy - 9/10 by Jason GorberWe're lucky that Call Me Lucky was helmed by Goldthwait, lucky that a filmmaker with this much clarity of vision and ability to cut through the shit was able to tell it like it is. Kudos to Crimmins, kudos to Goldthwait, kudos to this film.
Nashville Scene - 9/10 by Craig D. LindseyIt's no wonder Goldthwait used his impressively evolving directing skills on his old pal Crimmins... Barry Crimmins deserves a documentary.
RogerEbert.com - 9/10 by Odie HendersonCall Me Lucky will be an especially grueling ride for those who can identify with Crimmins’ trauma. Yet its toughness does not at all diminish its worth. It remains an essential viewing experience.
Blu-ray.com - 9/10 by Brian OrndorfThis is no hagiography. It's a stunning overview of a man pursuing a pure idea of honesty and common sense, with Goldthwait delivering a warts-and-all feature that's riveting.
TheWrap - 8/10 by Tim AppeloThere should be more Crimmins performance footage and fewer interviews that only reiterate points already made several times. Crimmins is preaching to the choir, and the film, while fascinating and inspiring, is at least a half-hour longer than it has story to tell.
Consequence of Sound - 8/10 by Dominick MayerCall Me Lucky is not only a wonderful piece of documentary filmmaking, but an act of substantial bravery as well.
Movie Nation - 8/10 by Roger MooreCall Me Lucky is another of those “the funniest comic you never saw” documentaries.
