Affectionate tribute to Bruce Vilanch (1948- ), who writes material for celebrities who make public appearances, from Oscar hosts and award recipients to Presidents. We meet his mom and see photos of his childhood; in Chicago, he writes for the Tribune and then heads West. Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Robin Williams, and Bette Midler talk with him and to the camera about working with Bruce, and we also watch Bruce help others prepare for Liz Taylor's 60th, Bill Clinton's 50th, and an AIDS awards banquet where the hirsute, rotund Vilanch lets his emotions show.
Leave your thoughts about Get Bruce!.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackAn extraordinary behind-the-scenes look at the comedy game. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardOffering often-hysterical testimony to Vilanch's talent. |
| New York PostRod DreherEndearing, very funny and utterly unpretentious. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertExactly the kind of documentary we all want to have made about ourselves, in which it is revealed that we are funny, smart, beloved, the trusted confidant of famous people. |

| Chicago ReaderLisa AlspectorThe behind-the-scenes revelations are thoroughly convincing. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenAn accurate sense of how today's Hollywood works. |
| Film.comElizabeth WeitzmanBecause (Vilanch) is such a character, the movie ends up being a lot of fun. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrCaptures just enough behind-the-scenes flavor to qualify as a light, bright divertissement. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonI'd take the stakes driven right through my platform pumps over listening to Bruce Vilanch jokes, but that's me. |
