Good start, but then it gets ruined

Good movie but grossly overrated

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Performers are vain and sensitive. Many want to be performers, to make money, to earn fame. Very few accomplish either."Heckler" involves those who have proved themselves worthy of praise and those who would be better off in another line of work. Who decides? The audience.The clips of Jaime Kennedy show an earnest, young performer who isn't very funny in the footage shown. He's mad about it, hurt from it, but it's not the critics' fault. There are more established and successful comedians (Eugene Mirman, Patton Oswalt, Maria Bamford, et al) who cry a bit about having their feelings singed, yet who have solid material and clear vision.There is a wide range of notables and has-beens in this show. More would care if they hadn't spent their day cleaning toilet and serving fries. After all, trying-to-be-funny people: you're not doctors, serious artists, record-setting athletes, best-selling authors. Be glad you earned a dime. You're clowns. Either toughen up or do something useful.Life is hard work. Most people (as in 99+%) don't give a damn if you exist, let alone if you succeed in telling jokes by making a million dollars and having everyone love you. There is a glut of amateur performers in America. It's a sickness. It's vainglorious bullshit. Rather than spend all day trying to convince the world how important your art is or sitting in some selfish depression, get off your ass and do something useful. Because if you are really destined to do the job, you will work at it and be great at it. Otherwise, you'll just waste your time and other people's money.

I enjoyed the movie, it was entertaining and informative. I didn't go through all of the reviews yet. How is it that I don't see anyone mentioning that chick slapping up her boyfriend??? He just took it. Jamie kicked her out and she went ballistic on that poor guy! I almost felt bad for laughing so hard. He should have left her when she went in. Wow. I'm still laughing about this. Also, I love you guys. I'm sorry you were hurt. Every comedian I saw in this film has made me laugh. I am very happy you are around. Keep it up! Lewis Black: "If it wasn't for my horse, I wouldn't have gone to college." Almost 20 years ago, I was at an IHOP in Abilene, TX, off of I-20 with a couple of friends late one evening. There was a man that looked like you in the booth behind us. I didn't say hello because there were papers all over the table and he seemed really busy.

These comedians want you to like them so much, you can almost tell they're on the verge of tears knowing that somebody thinks they suck. It starts out strong, with some great comics talking about how much they love verbally destroying hecklers, but quickly degrades into a string of second-rate comics talking about how much it sucks when people say mean things about them. They run out of actual footage after about a half hour, so the last half of the movie is Jaime Kennedy tracking down people who gave him a bad review and trying to make them feel bad by talking about how chicks totally want to screw him. It's entertaining in the same way it would be to watch a group of autistic children diving for quarters. You'll probably laugh, but you won't feel good about it after.

After starring in a film that was critically bashed, Jamie Kennedy takes on hecklers and critics and ask some interesting questions of people such as George Lucas, Bill Maher, Mike Ditka, Rob Zombie, Howie Mandel and many more.The worst thing about this film is that it focuses on Jamie Kennedy, because the fact is that the clips they show of him are legitimately unfunny and unoriginal. If anyone deserves to be heckled, it is Jamie Kennedy. Not saying heckling is okay (I am undecided), but Kennedy is a failure.The best thing? All the people they were able to get and the clips they found. Wow. If you have a favorite comedian, they probably appear here. And then, they got musicians, too. I was shocked by Barbra Streisand's presence, but shocked in a good way. She has more passion inside her than I would have thought.
