An aging comic icon, Jackie Burke, has seen better days. Despite his efforts to reinvent himself and his comic genius, the audience only wants to know him as the former television character he once played. Already a strain on his younger brother and his wife, Jackie is forced to serve out a sentence doing community service for accosting an audience member. While there, he meets Harmony, the daughter of a sleazy Florida real estate mogul, and the two find inspiration in one another, resulting in surprising consequences.

I enjoyed this film, I did feel like it was a little slow but it's worth a watch if you don't have much to do in the day. [spoiler] My favourite bit has to be the ending when the kid is on stage preforming comedy and start swearing. :D [/spoiler]

Robert De Niro is pretty invested in his performance in The Comedian. I'd say its one of his better performances in recent memory but the film around him is basically plot less and really doesn't have any story to tell. It is pretty fun to see De Niro insult people every where he goes and Leslie Mann makes a pretty good companion for him but the movie just falls flat overall.

Trivia: De Niro has been trying to make this movie for 8 years. Why? Even the jokes (or the stand up comedy, if you like) are not that funny. I wonder what the originally draft of this movie was like with Sean Penn on board to direct. The thing that gave De Niro the desire to make this movie, however with his recent work, his decisions are becoming more questionable.
