Movie Reviews

Entertainment Weekly - 9/10 by Owen GleibermanThe thrust of the movie is that even for Jerry, the quintessential scientist of stand-up, comedy is very, very hard to do. By the end, you're closer to knowing why.
Contra Costa Times - 9/10 by Mary F. PolsFeels a little too carefully crafted to be absolutely truthful, but nonetheless yields rich food for thought about the pains of the creative process and the insecurities of the artistic temperament.
San Jose Mercury News - 9/10 by Bruce NewmanIt takes us finally to the comedy clubs that for so many years we saw only at the beginning and end of Seinfeld.
Miami Herald - 9/10 by Rene RodriguezShows Jerry Seinfeld as you've never seen him before: being unfunny.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Allan JohnsonA film that comes close to re-creating the funny-but-serious environment of stand-up comedy.
Journal News (Westchester, NY) - 9/10 by Marshall FineSeinfeld fans will come out with a better understanding of why Seinfeld does what he does -- but they'll receive no hint of how he does it.
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Jim SlotekA backstage must-see for true fans of comedy.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannIt's tough to sympathize with a man as wealthy and established as Seinfeld, but Comedian has an engaging rhythm, an immediacy that's genuine and unvarnished, and a few great laughs.
Film Blather - 8/10 by Eugene NovikovUltra-cheap and incorrigibly lo-fi, Comedian doesn't have much rhyme or reason, or a point.
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Moira MacDonaldIt's refreshing to see a celebrity documentary that isn't focused on the celebrity, but on the art that made him who he is.
