Just watched this movie. Great storytelling and acting by everyone involved. Funny, grumpy and moody at the same time. About real human beings trying to get by. Hugely underrated! - @Thursday, March 8, 2018 10:54 PM

De Niro always picks the worst movies ever. - @Tuesday, May 2, 2017 3:31 PM

Horrible waste of time and money. "The Comedian" is ripe with classless, senseless potty humor and a disjointed confusing storyline. DeNiro is the worst. He delivers his lines like he's literally reading them off a page for the first time. He brings the whole movie to a grinding, nail-on-the-chalkboard, nasty experience. DeNiro has gone to DeZero perhaps for good. He's a washed up has-been liberal moron. - @Friday, February 3, 2017 4:18 AM

I mean, it does have Robert De Niro with a goatee... So there's that... - @Wednesday, January 25, 2017 6:02 AM

Looks predictable, but has a cool cast. - @Tuesday, December 13, 2016 1:08 AM

The casting looks really good, but oh my goodness. This looks awful... :/ - @Sunday, December 11, 2016 3:27 AM

Honestly, this looks awful. Its just one of those movies that follow the age old rules of storytelling. Lonely man with crushed dreams, seeks out old relatives, gets new friends, old dreams start to blossom, the new friend becomes his girlfriend. Wow! Where is Stanley Kubrick, where is Scorsese? Enough of this no-talent, hacky, storytelling clichés. Make art! Not money! - @Thursday, December 1, 2016 2:35 PM

This definitely looks like it is worth watching. - @Thursday, December 1, 2016 6:02 AM

wow, so much talent wasted. It's weird because what should be the best thing about this is the worst thing. Robert DeNiro is miscast - @Friday, November 25, 2016 3:48 PM
