Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 8/10 by Christopher NullFran Solomita can hold his breath and stamp his feet, but that isn't going to make 1970s-to-80s Boston much more than a footnote in the history of stand-up comedy
DVDTalk.com - 7/10 by David CorneliusWhen Stand-Up Stood Out is enough to make any stand-up nut happy.
User Review - 8/10 by Brent CA good documentary on the Boston comedy scene of the early 80's. Some really good stories and some funny parts. Gives us a nice glimpse of the personalities and origins of the scene. Wish I could have seen more of the interviews with some of the comics on the special features.
User Review - 6/10 by Tuukka PA documentary about the rise and fall of Boston stand-up scene. Interesting for a fan of comedy but to others it might be a bit boring. Could have been a bit more deeper look of the times and the people.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael RFairly decent doc if you know nothing about stand up in the Boston area in the 80's, but it might be a little too skewed towards Boston. However, if you're a fan of standup you'll enjoy this, and might be turned on to other comics you've never heard of.
User Review - 6/10 by Taryn Git tells a great story and shows some great footage, but the technical aspect is nothing to be admired.
User Review - 6/10 by David GGood comics - interesting stories. It was strangely touching... don't ask me why.
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher SI didn't know Lenny Clarke was such a big deal i the 80's. If it wasn't for Denis Leary, I'd have never even heard of him.
User Review - 4/10 by Kris Snot enough denis leary.... lenny clarkes fuckin hilarious
