The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

If you're a fan of Robert Klein, I think you'll enjoy this documentary about him. Not much new is revealed, but it does remind you that in addition to his great stand-up work, he is also a successful Broadway and film actor, singer and composer. Sometimes one forgets his great versatility. It also plays back some of his best bits that were on some of the HBO specials that he used to do. His type of stand-up isn't really around that much anymore, so seeing it again is kind of a throwback.My only mild criticism of this documentary is when the hyperbole becomes ridiculous. There was one, maybe two of the famous comedians interviewed for this film that comments that Klein, along with Richard Pryor and George Carlin were the most important stand-ups of their era. Now, I happen to prefer Klein much more compared to Pryor or Carlin, but even I know that you can't compare the impact that Klein had to these two guys. It's just ridiculous. Let's not get too crazy here.
