Rating: C+ -- Hackford trots out a series of familiar, in some cases faded, faces from the past... but the effect is disheartening, like being trapped inside a mediocre Friars Club Roast. Full Review
Christian Science Monitor
Feb 3, 2017
A fetid, overlong drama laden with bizarre subplots and an inexplicably star-studded supporting cast, built around the dated idea that standup comedians can, indeed, be jerks. Full Review

Rating: C -- An overstuffed character study that wastes the talented cast in a film that feels like it is several movies fighting with each other. Full Review

This script, penned by producer Art Linson and professional insult comedian Jeff Ross, is a stinker for the ages. Full Review

De Niro has one of his better recent roles, as Jackie Berg, a New York stand-up comic whose filthy monologues are legendary but whose glory days are a decade or two behind him.
Boston Globe
Feb 2, 2017
So many films have been made by real comedians about the inner workings of the life of a stand-up comic, but this film stands out because "The Comedian" in question simply is not one. Some just have "it," and De Niro does not. Full Review

The plot is forced and flimsy, the characters are thinly conceived, and the comic writing is often cringeworthy. Full Review
