I am comic

A documentary about comedy that breaks the golden rule: if you have to explain it, well, it just ain't funny. Alas, this wasn't very funny. Many comedians do a schtick, or are interviewed, about being comedians. For some reason, Ritch Shydner becomes the focus of the film: having not performed for years, he decides to make a comeback, and the film documents it. Bad idea.

The one really funny bit was Tommy Davidson doing a simulated broadcast if Spanish-language news, with comments in English interspersed. It was hilarious.

The movie was not.
